Unlike bis(diethylamino)organosilylboranes, bis(diisopropylamino)organosilylboranes, which have UV absorption at longer wavelength than 300 nm, undergo photolysis to afford pairs of an organosilyl radical and a bis(diisopropylamino)boryl radical by homolytic scission of the silicon-boron bonds. Generation of organosilyl radical and organoboryl radical was confirmed by trapping experiments using TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine N-oxyl). The organosilyl radical thus generated induces not only silylation of mono-olefins and silylative cyclization of dienes but also polymerization to afford polymers bearing organosilyl termini. On the other hand, the bis(diisopropylamino)boryl radical generated is not incorporated into the olefin adducts.

Muons, generated at a high-powered cyclotron, can capture electrons to form muonium atoms. Muon spin resonance spectra can be recorded for organosilyl radicals obtained by addition of muonium atoms to silylenes and silenes. We present a brief summary of progress in this new area since the first such experiments were reported in 2008.

This contribution explores the interaction of the fibrous silicates, palygorskite, sepiolite and chrysotile with a wide range of organic agents. Infrared spectroscopy (IR) methods are essential for the characterization of solid surfaces and for the investigation of the kind of bonds formed between the surface of these silicates and the organic moieties. Thus, when sepiolite or palygorskite are treated, e.
