Hydrolysis-condensation reactions of titanium alkoxides in thin films: A study of the steric hindrance effect by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Résumé

An original approach based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is proposed to study the influence of the surrounding humidity on the hydrolysis-condensation reactions of five titanium alkoxides in thin films. More precisely, the influence of the nature of the ligands (propoxide, butoxide, isopropoxide, phenoxide, and 9H-carbazole-9-yl-ethyl-oxy) on the reaction rate was evidenced. The reaction advancement was evaluated by comparing XPS chemical compositions to theoretical compositions calculated for all the possible rates. XPS chemical environment information allowed validating the reliability of this approach through the evaluation of the condensation state. In both approaches, the influence of the steric hindrance on the reactivity of titanium alkoxides was highlighted to be similar to what has been previously observed in solution. Theses results corroborate the validity of our XPS approach to determine titanium alkoxide hydrolysis-condensation reactions in the specific application of thin films.
