A chemical compound formed when chlorine combines with silicon and oxygen compounds, sometimes used in specialized materials and chemistry.
From chloro- (chlorine) plus silicate (from silicon and oxygen), a salt formed between chlorine-containing and silicate components.
Chlorosilicates exist in the fuzzy boundary between chemistry and materials science—they're rarely discussed but they show up in industrial processes where extreme stability and specific properties are needed.
