Silicon hypochlorite
Silicon hypochlorite is an extremely volatile ionic compound with the chemical formula Si(ClO)<sub>4</sub>. It consists of a silicon ion, Si and four hypochlorite ions, ClO .
Silicon hypochlorite is formed by the reaction of elemental silicon with hypochlorous acid, in the following chemical reaction:
:Si + 4HClO → Si(ClO)<sub>4</sub> + 2H<sub>2</sub>
Silicon hypochlorite reacts readily with alkaline metals to produce silicon and the corresponding hypochlorite:
:Si(ClO)<sub>4</sub> + 4X → Si + 4XClO
Silicon hypochlorite is listed on the website of one chemical company.
