30. 1H NMR of catechol as described previously (ref 23). The model system allows kinetic studies to be performed on the transformation from monomer to oligomeric species through useful materials. It should be noted that the precursor for orthosilicic acid (dipotassium tris(1,2-benzene-diolato-O,O′) silicate) generates 3 molar equivalent of catechol, which is itself a diol (Si/OH 1:6). The effect of catechol on the condensation of orthosilicic acid has been normalized throughout all the experiments by comparison of data against a blank condensing system where no additive has been added.
