Organosilicon chemistry

Organometallic compound containing carbon–silicon bonds

Organosilicon chemistry is the study of organometallic compounds containing carbon–silicon bonds, to which they are called organosilicon compounds. Most organosilicon compounds are similar to the ordinary organic compounds, being colourless, flammable, hydrophobic, and stable to air. However, silicon carbide is considered an inorganic compound.
