Trifluorosilane

Trifluorosilane is the chemical compound with the formula F3HSi. At standard temperature and pressure, trifluorosilane is a colorless gas.[1] Note that the free radical F3Si is often also referred to as trifluorosilane, although more properly referred to as trifluorosilyl.

Preparation

Trifluorosilane has been purified and separated by low-temperature high-vacuum distillation. One preparation method involves products of the reaction between SbF3 and HSiCl3.[2] HSiCl3 is obtained by copper catalyzed reaction between HCl and Silicon at 200-400 °C.

Formation has also been reported in certain etching operations of silicon.[3]

Properties

The electric dipole moment of trifluorosilane is 1.26 debye.[4] The length of the silicon to fluorine bond is 1.555 Å, Si-H length is 1.55 Å, and ∠FSiF is 110°.[5]
