[617-86-7] C6H16Si (MW 116.31) InChI = 1S/C6H16Si/c1-4-7(5-2)6-3/h7H,4-6H2,1-3H3 InChIKey = AQRLNPVMDITEJU-UHFFFAOYSA-N (mild reducing agent for many functional groups) Physical Data: mp −156.9 °C; bp 107.7 °C; d 0.7309 g cm−3. Solubility: insol H2O; sol hydrocarbons, halocarbons, ethers. Form Supplied in: colorless liquid; widely available. Purification: simple distillation, if needed. Handling, Storage, and Precautions: triethylsilane is physically very similar to comparable hydrocarbons. It is a flammable, but not pyrophoric, liquid. As with all organosilicon hydrides, it is capable of releasing hydrogen gas upon storage, particularly in the presence of acids, bases, or fluoride-releasing salts. Proper precautions should be taken to vent possible hydrogen buildup when opening vessels in which triethylsilane is stored.
