Description
Octadecyltrichlorotrichlorooctadecyl (ODTS, or n-octadecyltrichlorotrichlorooctadecyl) is an organometallic chemical. It is used in semiconductor industry to form self-assembled monolayer thin films on silicon dioxide substrates. Its structural chemical formula is CH3(CH2)17SiCl3. It is flammable, reacts with water, and is also sensitive to air. It is corrosive and can severely damage mucous membranes. Its EINECS number is 203-930-7.Octadecyltrichlorotrichlorooctadecyl is an amphiphilic molecule consisting of a long-chain alkyl group (C18H37–) and a polar head group (SiCl3–), which forms Self assembled monolayers (SAMs) on various oxidic substrates.ODTS finds its use in molecular electronics, as thin insulating gates in Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors.Dodecyltrichlorotrichlorooctadecyl, an ODTS analog with shorter alkyl chain, is used for the same purpose as well.ODTS-PVP films are used in organic-substrate LCD displays.

Other Experimental
Combustible;Reacts with water or steam to produce toxic and corrosive fumes;BP: 223 °C at 10 mm Hg;The reaction of organosilanes with halogens and halogen cmpd usually proceeds in good yield through cleavage of the Si--H bond and formation of the silicon-halogen bond. Reaction with fluorine, however, does not proceed satisfactorily because of cleavage of not only the Si--H but also C--Si and C--H bonds. Direct halogenation with chlorination, bromine, and iodine proceeds smoothly, however. /Organosilanes/
