SiH4 is spontaneously inflammable in air. The di and triorganosilanes are even more stable and many of such silanes can be safety distilled in air at temperatures above 200°C.

For example, the Si–H bond dissociation energy in Et3SiH is 90 kCal/mol, while for the Sn–H bond the average value is 60 kCal/mol. Chatgilialoglu et al. demostrated that Si–H bond can be dramatically weakened by substitution of silyl groups at the Si–H function. ChatgilialogluC., GrillerD., and LesageM., J. Org.
