The Hg (3P1) sensitized photolysis of an H2/SiH4 mixture not only yields Si2H6 but also Si3H8 and Si4H10. The formation of the latter two products as well as parts of the Si2H6 yield is explained by the decomposition of chemically activated disilane, formed by the combination of two silyl radicals. The activated disilane decomposes mainly into SiH2 + SiH4 which finally reacts to Si2H6 and to a lesser extent into H2 + H3SiSiH: and H2 + H2SiSiH2. The silykilylene inserts into SiH4 yielding Si3H8, while disilene is thought to be scavenged successively by two SiH3 radicals, the main reactive species under the given conditions. From the relative rate constants of the three decomposition channels, ΔHf(H3SiSiH:) = 273 ± 11 kJ/mol can be calculated. Also a lower bound to the π bond energy of disilene Bπ(H2SiSiH2) ≥ 69 ± 11 kJ/mol is obtained. Ab initio CI calculations give Bπ(H2SiSiH2) = 93 ± 8 kJ/mol. A substituted disilene is shown to have a probable π bond energy of 108 ± 20 kJ/mol from a thermochemical analysis of literature data.
