German term or phrase: Abreaktion
Werden dabei Halogensilane mit mindestens einer Si-H-Bindung allein und/oder in Kombination mit Di- bzw. Trihalogensilanen in einem Überschuss an flüssigem, wasserfreiem Ammoniak umgesetzt und länger in diesem Medium belassen, bilden sich in der durch das entstehende Ammoniumhalogenid-Salz bzw. die entsprechende Säure saurer gewordenen Umgebung im Laufe der Zeit durch Abreaktion von Si-H-Bindungen Polymerisationsprodukte, in denen die Indices m, n und o einen höheren Wert und/oder ein anderes Verhältnis als zuvor aufweisen, möglicherweise katalysiert durch die Anwesenheit von gelöstem und ionisiertem Ammoniumhalogenid

reaction
Explanation:
basically the Si-H bond is breaking down or acting as a catalyst, driving a polymerisation reaction. German tends to numerous forms of "reaction", but essentially in English reaction covers the lot. so p.products are being formed in the acidic environment resulting from the a-salts produced from the reaction of the Si-H bonds .....
hope that helps
