1. A silicon compound of the formula
[SiXn(NR1R2)3-n]2  (1)
wherein:
R1 and R2 may be the same as or different from one another and each is independently selected from the group consisting of H, C1-C5, alkyl, and C3-C6 cycloalkyl;
X is selected from the group consisting of halogen, hydrogen and deuterium; and
0<n≤2, with the proviso that when R1=R2=ethyl or methyl, X≠Cl, when R1=R2=ethyl and n=1 or 2, X≠H, when R1=R2=isopropyl and n=2, X≠Cl or H, and when R1=R2=isopropyl and n=1, X≠H.
