Abstract

The early time behavior of an acid catalyzed Si(OCH3),4 (TMOS) sol-gel was studied by high resolution 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Both the water producing and the alcohol producing condensation reactions were found to contribute significantly to the overall condensation rate. A general theoretical kinetic formalism which specifically treats the temporal evolution of the various chemical function groups about a specific silicon atom was developed. The experimentally observed functional group distribution was in agreement with the distribution predicted by a simplified statistical reaction model. The mathematical framework for the study of chemical speciation at the next-to-nearest functional group level was developed. This framework was used to assign several fine structure resonances, and to show that the formation of various dimeric species is also largely statistical in nature.
