Summary
The reactions of ethylene with silane, chlorosilane, fluorosilane, and dichlorosilane, and of propylene with silane are considered usingab initio electronic structure calculations. At both the MP2 and MP4 levels of theory with both DZP and TZP quality basis sets, the energy barriers for all reactions are found to be in excess of 50 kcal/mol.
