Silicomes-oxalic Acid, H4Si3O6
Silicomes-oxalic Acid, H4Si3O6, which is the silicon analogue of mesoxalic acid:
![]() ![]() is formed by the action of moist air on octachlorosilicopropane, Si3Cl8, at 0° C. It is a white unstable powder, which is insoluble in water, but reacts with alkali forming silicate and hydrogen: H4Si3O6 + 6NaOH = 3Na2SiO3 + 3H2O + 2H2. It possesses reducing properties, indicated thus: H4Si3O6 + 2O = 2H2O + 3SiO2. Silico-oxalic acid and silicomes-oxalic acid yield identical forms of silica when treated with ammonia, and Martin 1 accounts for this fact by the following scheme, in which the polymerised and cyclic constitution of these two acids is set forth:
When ethyl ortho-silico-oxalate (hexa-ethoxysilico-ethane) is treated with sodium or potassium hydroxide solution, hydrogen is evolved, and a silicate formed by the interpolation of an oxygen atom between the two silicon atoms thus: ![]() ![]() |
