Description

Gamma-chloropropyl trimethoxysilane (CPS) is a chemical compound with the formula Cl3Si(OCH3)2. It is an organosilicon compound that is used in surface preparation and modification to improve hydrophobicity, chemical stability, and mechanical properties. CPS forms covalent linkages with organic compounds on the surface by reaction with hydroxyl groups. It has been shown to react with fatty acids such as oleic acid, forming a metal chelate. CPS reacts with sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) to form sodium chloropropoxide (NaClOCH3). This reaction is exothermic and can be used for sample preparation. The mechanism of this reaction is thought to involve the formation of a copper complex followed by its hydrolysis.
