15. This already known surface reaction[14] leads to the liberation of neopentane (ca. 1.5 mol per mol of grafted Ta) with the formation of a mixture of two well-defined surface species, 2a and 2b.
16. Step 2: 2.5 mol of neopentane evolved per mol of surface tantalum.
17. |Ta|#1: 4.92wt% Ta. C/Ta = 8.9; [Ta]#2: 5.40wt% Ta, C/Ta = 7.2; [Ta]#3: 5.63 wt% Ta. C/Ta = 7.1. For a mixture of 3a (50%) and 3b (50%) a theoretical value of C/Ta = 7 should be observed; this is the case for [Ta]#2 and [Ta|#3. For [Ta]#1 the higher value may be explained by the presence of SiOEt species.
