Studies of the chemistry of silicon have dealt with relatively few compounds containing more than two silicon atoms bonded to each other. However, in recent years technical skills have enabled investigators to prepare and characterize an in creasing number of polysilanes of chain lengths seemingly limited only to the present skill and modes available. At the time this investigation was begun several organic substituted cyclosilanes had been characterized and were readily available. Some investigations had been made in the use of these compounds as precursors to formerly unavailable organosllicon compounds. Only a few heterocyclic compounds containing silicon-silicon bonds had been prepared and little or no study had been made of the reactions of these compounds. It had been observed that the presence of a silicon atom in a cyclic compound gave a reactivity to that compound unlike analogous linear compounds. It had also been demonstrated that the reactivity with certain reagents was dependent on ring size. The present investigation was begun to make use of some readily available cyclosilanes and heterocyclic polysllane compounds in a further investigation of their reactivity and. 2 if possible, to initiate.studies of linear polysilanes con taining various functional groups by heretofore unused or unknown routes. Such new compounds afford the opportunity of expanding- the present knowledge of the physical properties as well as contributing to the spectrographic studies of organ- opolysilane compounds. Attention was directed toward the ultraviolet and infrared properties of compounds containing the silicon-silicon bond. 3 NOMENCLATURE^ In naming organosilicon compounds having silicon chains, the rules of nomenclature recommended by the Commission of Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry
