How do carbon and silicon chemistry differ? For example, the cyanide⇌isocyanide equilibrium is completely reversed in the sila series. According to calculations silane nitrile (2) is higher in energy than its isomer 1, which has been known for much longer. The matrix isolation of 2 has now been achieved; 2 is the first silicon compound of the nitrile type. equation image
