Silanols are derivatives of silanes in which one or more hydroxy groups are bonded to a silicon atom. Silanols are the silicon analogues of alcohols which have a carbon skeleton. The simplest representative of silanols is the hydroxysilane with the formula H3Si-OH. If the molecule additionally contains one or more organic residues, these compounds are called "organosilanols".
