Abstract

High resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy at high magnetic fields is employed to study the reaction kinetics of the Si(OCH3)4:CH3OH:H2O sol-gel system. Both the overall extent of reaction as a function of time and the equilibrium distribution of species are measured. In acid catalyzed solution, condensation is the rate limiting step while in base catalyzed solution, hydrolysis becomes rate limiting. A kinetic model in which the rate of hydrolysis is assumed to be independent of the adjacent functional groups is presented. This model correctly predicts the distribution of product species during the initial stages of the sol-gel reaction.
