Publication Open Access Kinetics of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) by 29Si NMR spectroscopy and mathematical modeling(Springer, 2018) EcheverrĆa MorrĆ”s, JesĆŗs; Moriones JimĆ©nez, Paula; Arzamendi Manterola, MarĆa Cruz; Garrido Segovia, JuliĆ”n JosĆ©; Gil Idoate, MarĆa JosĆ©; Cornejo Ibergallartu, Alfonso; MartĆnez Merino, VĆctor; QuĆmica Aplicada; Kimika Aplikatua; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) is widely used to synthesize siliceous material by the solāgel process. However, there is still some disagreement about the nature of the limiting step in the hydrolysis and condensation reactions. The goal of this research was to measure the variation in the concentration of intermediates formed in the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis by 29Si NMR spectroscopy, to model the reactions, and to obtain the rate constants and the activation energy for the hydrolysis and early condensation steps. We studied the kinetics of TEOS between pH 3.8 and 4.4, and four temperature values in the range of 277.2ā313.2 K, with a TEOS:ethanol:water molar ratio of 1:30:20. Both hydrolysis and the condensation rate speeded up with the temperature and the concentration of oxonium ions. The kinetic constants for hydrolysis reactions increased in each step kh1 < kh2 < kh3 < kh4, but the condensation rate was lower for dimer formation than for the formation of the fully hydrolyzed Si(OH)4. The system was described according to 13 parameters: six of them for the kinetic constants estimated at 298.2 K, six to the activation energies, and one to the equilibrium constant for the fourth hydrolysis. The mathematical model shows a steady increase in the activation energy from 34.5 kJ molā1 for the first hydrolysis to 39.2 kJ molā1 in the last step. The activation energy for the condensation reaction from Si(OH)4 was ca. 10 kJ molā1 higher than the largest activation energy in the hydrolytic reactions. The decrease in the net positive charge on the Si atom contributes to the protonation of the ethoxy group and makes it a better leaving group.Publication Open Access Comprehensive kinetics of hydrolysis of organotriethoxysilanes by 29Si NMR(American Chemical Society, 2019) Moriones JimĆ©nez, Paula; Arzamendi Manterola, MarĆa Cruz; Cornejo Ibergallartu, Alfonso; Garrido Segovia, JuliĆ”n JosĆ©; EcheverrĆa MorrĆ”s, JesĆŗs; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2The kinetics of several representative hybrid precursors were studied via 29Si NMR: three alkyl precursors, methyltriethoxysilane, ethyltriethoxysilane, and propyltriethoxysilane; as well as two unsaturated radicals, vinyltriethoxysilane and phenyltriethoxysilane. The reaction rate is related to the chemical shift of 29Si in the NMR spectra, which gives information about the electronic density of the Si atoms and the inductive effects of substituents. The concentration of the precursors decreased exponentially with time, and the intermediate products of hydrolysis and the beginning of the condensation reactions showed curves characteristic of sequential reactions, with a similar distribution of the species as a function of the fractional conversion. For all of the precursors, condensation started when the most hydrolyzed species reached a maximum concentration of 0.30 M, when the precursor had run out. A prediction following the developed mathematical model fits the experimental results in line with a common pathway described by eight parameters.
