A molecular geometry, a distribution of electron density and indices of reactivity of fifteen derivatives of alkoxysilanes Si(OH)x(OCH₃)y(OC₂H₅)z, (x+y+z=4) were calculated by semiepirical quantum-chemical MNDO method, with an aim to study their ability to undergo the hydrolysis reactions. The highest reactivities were obtained for tetramethoxy derivative for both possible reaction mechanisms, nucleophilic and electrophilic.
