Are Disilicon Hexabromide and Hexabromodisilane the same substance?

Yes. Disilicon Hexabromide, Hexabromodisilane, Si2Br6 and CAS 13596-29-7 identify the same silicon bromide. It is not Silicon Tetrabromide, SiBr4, which is a different compound. Match the complete name, CAS number, formula and an agreed identity method.

What must be agreed before ordering Hexabromodisilane?

Confirm assay and method, silicon-halogen identity, relevant bromosilane and hydrolysis impurities, supplied physical form, quantity, container and closure compatibility, inert-gas condition and allowable moisture exposure. The receiving site should review current SDS, transfer method and emergency controls before shipment is accepted.

Disilicon Hexabromide (Hexabromodisilane) CAS 13596-29-7

Disilicon Hexabromide, CAS 13596-29-7, is hexabromodisilane with formula Si₂Br₆, structure Br₃Si-SiBr₃ and molecular weight 535.59 g/mol. It is a specialty bromosilane rather than a routine bulk industrial chemical. Buyers should confirm assay, silicon-halogen identity, bromosilane and hydrolysis impurities, water exposure, supplied form, container compatibility, inert-gas condition and the receiving site capability before requesting shipment.

CAS: 13596-29-7
Synonyms: Disilicon hexabromide, Hexabromodisilane, Disilane hexabromide, Si₂Br₆
Molecular Formula: Si₂Br₆
Grade: Confirm the supplied form or concentration, assay, reactive impurities, stabilizer or inhibitor status, storage controls and handling requirements against the current COA and SDS.
Package: State required quantity and destination; confirm the approved container or cylinder, inerting or stabilizer needs, closure or valve, fill quantity, temperature controls and dangerous-goods requirements against the SDS.

Disilicon Hexabromide is a moisture-sensitive silicon halide used in specialized silicon chemistry. The shipped form, concentration and package must be documented because a neat reagent and a defined solution require different handling and specification controls.

Quality controls for purchasing

Confirm identity, assay basis and any related silicon bromides or halogen impurities.
Set a water or hydrolysis-product control that matches the intended reaction and analytical capability.
Approve package material, closure, inert headspace, fill quantity and transfer connection before ordering.

Applications and grade selection

Disilicon Hexabromide may be evaluated in precursor research and controlled silicon-halogen synthesis. Application claims should be verified through a qualified small-scale trial. The buyer must establish compatible equipment, dry transfer, reaction control and a reviewed quench procedure.

Storage and handling

Maintain the material in the supplier-approved sealed package under dry inert conditions. Prevent moisture contact and segregate from incompatible reagents. Ordinary drums or general laboratory bottles should not be assumed compatible without documented review.

Documentation and quotation details

State required form, assay, impurity and moisture limits, quantity, package restrictions, receiving capability, destination and schedule. Review the lot COA, SDS, transport classification, package instructions and emergency information before order acceptance.
