Me4Si
In the land of chemistry, oh so grand,
There lived a compound, quite unplanned,
Tetramethylsilane was its name,
With a framework tetrahedral, it became.
TMS, the simplest of its kind,
With four methyl groups, you'll find,
Organometallic chemistry it would embrace,
A building block, in that special space.
But TMS had more tricks up its sleeve,
In niche applications, it would achieve,
From protecting surfaces with a special coat,
To enhancing the performance of a boat.
In laboratories, it found its way,
As a reference compound, it would stay,
Calibrating instruments, oh so precise,
TMS, the compound that would suffice.
So let's raise a toast to TMS, oh so grand,
A compound with a role, quite unplanned,
In the world of chemistry, it found its place,
Tetramethylsilane, a compound with grace.
