Abstract

High field Silicon-29 NMR is used to study the structural intermediates in tetramethyl and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TMOS and TEOS) low pH sol-gel reactions. Linear oligomers as well as ring components of various sizes are identified and their evolution in the sols is followed. Differences in the number of compact ring structures are related to differences in gel times. Reactions are followed for various silicon alkoxide:water:acid molar ratios.
