Quantum Chemical Calculations of Amine-Catalyzed Polymerization of Silanol
Because of the technical importance of organosilicon materials,insight into the related synthetic processes is significantly essential.In this paper,the amine-catalyzed polymerization of silanol has been investigated by the density functional theory(DFT)method.Our data have shown that amines can catalytically promote the hydrogen transfer process by substantially reducing the energy barrier.The activation barrier via hydrogen transfer with catalysis is 38.32 kJ/mol,much lower than that of catalysis-free process(120.88 kJ/mol).The lower energy barrier is in agreement with the much more intense polymerization of silanols with amine catalysts.Based on the above results,amines and other catalysts capable of assisting hydrogen transfer are expected to be used as catalysts for silanol polymerization.
