Notes:
1H NMR spectroscopy of methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) has revealed that cleavage of the Si - C bond occur during hydrolysis in the presence of HCI. A mechanism is suggested involving nuleophillic attack by CI- with electrophilic promotion. Optical materials based on tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and MTMS are vsually transparent and 1H NMR reveals the similarity of the hydrolysis rates of these precursors under acid catalysis. 1H NMR indicates that residual unhydrolysed methoxide groups in the finished optical materials are a possibility.
