In this study, the hydrolytic stability of ten variably substituted hydrosilanes—including monoaryl, monoalkyl, diaryl, dialkyl, alkyl aryl, triaryl, trialkyl, dialkyl aryl, and alkyl diaryl silanes—is investigated using five complementary methods, including <sup>1</sup>H–NMR time-lapse and GC-MS experiments, at neutral pH. The <sup>1</sup>H–NMR time-lapse experiments suggest that monoaryl and monoalkyl silanes are susceptible to hydrolysis, as evidenced by 31% and 22% reduction in starting material, respectively, over 24 h. Other investigated silanes are resistant to hydrolysis in these solvent systems for at least 24 h. The GC-MS experiments quantitatively support the respective reactivity of these hydrosilanes at pH 7. Lastly, the reactivity of selected hydrosilanes is evaluated at pH 7.4 phosphate-buffered saline buffer; only monoalkyl silanes degraded in the presence of the added salt content. Overall, the study demonstrates that hydrosilanes exhibit hydrolytic stability at neutral pH, except for monoaryl- and monoalkyl-substituted silanes, which are susceptible to degradation.
