  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010868",
  "term": "Silyl groups",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Functional groups derived from silane (SiH4) by the removal of one or more hydrogen atoms. The simplest silyl group is the silyl group itself (-SiH3), but more complex forms involve organic substituents attached to the silicon atom. These groups are frequently encountered in organosilicon chemistry.",
