The industry‐scale production of methylchloromonosilanes in the Müller–Rochow Direct Process is accompanied by the formation of a residue, the direct process residue (DPR), comprised of disilanes MenSi2Cl6‐n (n=1–6). Great research efforts have been devoted to the recycling of these disilanes into m...
