Abstract
The kinetic of the sol–gel hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions of a chiral ORMOSIL precursor was investigated by LCMS technique as a function of water excess and pH. While the amount of water does not significantly change the kinetics, the reactions strongly depend on the [H]+ concentration. At pH ≤ 3, the hydrolysis is very fast and the conversion of the precursor is completed within less than 1 h whereas at 80% of the precursor is still present after 50 h at pH = 3.5. This kinetic study allows to define a set of initial conditions and time ranges required to provide good optical quality dip coated films .

Notes
The concentration of the mono-hydrolyzed monomer for 10 equivalents of H2O does not vary enough to be significantly considered.
