Mono‐ and di‐iodomonomethylsilane, CH3SiH2I and CH3SiHI2, have been prepared by the reaction of monomethylsilane with hydrogen iodide in the presence of aluminium iodide. The monoiodo compound reacts with water to form the siloxan, (CH3SiH2)2O, with mercuric sulphide to form the silthian, (CH3SiH2)2S, and with silver cyanide to form the isocyanide, CH3SiH2NC, all of which have been characterised. The isocyanide does not react with nickel carbonyl and rapidly polymerises in the presence of boron trifluoride.
