Im. El Nahhal et al., XPS, NMR and FTIR structural characterization of polysiloxane-immobilized amine ligand systems, J NON-CRYST, 275(1-2), 2000, pp. 142-146
The polysiloxane-immobilized monoamine ligand systems were made by hydrolyt
ic polycondensation of Si(OEt)(4) and (EtO)(3)Si(CH2)(3)NH2. These material
s were examined by XPS, FTIR and NMR techniques. The analysis indicates tha
t the amine ligand groups almost exist in the free form in the alkaline med
ia and in the cation form in the acid media. C-13 NMR and FTIR spectra comb
ined with the XPS results shows that there is some leaching of small oligom
eric ligand containing groups from the siloxane network. (C) 2000 Elsevier
