Methylsilane Explained

Methylsilane is the organosilicon compound with the formula . It is a colorless gas that ignites in air. It can be prepared by reduction of methyltrichlorosilane with lithium aluminium hydride.[1] It has been investigated as a precursor to silicon carbide.[2]

Methylsilane has been the subject of extensive theoretical analysis.[3]
