Abstract: | In this work, the melting-point depression and molecular dynamics of hexamethyldisilane confined within five controlled pore
glasses, with mean diameters ranging from 7.9 to 23.9 nm, are studied by high-field (9.4 T) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR),
and the results are discussed with reference to the bulk substance. The melting-point depression in pores with radiusR follows the simplified Gibbs-Thompson equation ΔT=k
p/(R−s) with ak
p value of 74 K · nm and ans value of 1 nm. To our knowledge, this is the first time thek
p value of hexamethyldisilane is reported. Proton spin-lattice relaxation times (T
1), spin-spin relaxation times (T
2), and diffusivities (D) are reported as a function of temperature. The confinement in the pores gives rise to substantial changes in the molecular
dynamics and the phase behavior. The line-shape measurements reveal a two-phase system assigned to a relatively mobile component
at the pore walls and a crystalline solid at the center of the pores. However, theT
2 measurements show that the mobile phase also embraces a minor component attributed to nonfrozen liquid in pockets or micropores.
The diffusivity of the major narrow-line component is approximately three orders of magnitude larger than that in the plastic
bulk phase, reflecting fast diffusion of mobile molecules. Below the melting region,T
1 of the narrow line is significantly shorter thanT
1 of the broad line, suggesting that the molecular reorientation is more hindered close to the surface than at the center of
the pore. |
