The thesis deals with a special class of organosilicon compounds, the (poly)trihydrosilylarenes, which are of current interest due to their potential applications in CVD-processes and as monomeric units in high-performance polymers. Via different synthetic routes a large number of mono-, bis-, tris(trihydrosilyl)arenes with different substitution-patterns have been synthesized and characterized. Also, the first trihydrosilylated ferrocenes and polyfluorinated arylsilanes have become accessible following the same synthetic ways. In another part of the work a total of 16 selected arylsilanes have been investigated by means of cyclovoltammetry and the ionisation potentials were correlated with calculated electronic structures. The most important preparative result is the introduction of new silylating agents, which offer significant advantages in realizing geminal substitution patterns.
