BROMINATION REACTIONS PS under -2 mtorr vacuum is exposed to Br 2 vapor for 5 minutes. Br2 is removed by condensing into a liquid nitrogen trap, and the sample is kept under vacuum for 10 minutes. The alcohol is introduced as a liquid or gas and is allowed to react for 5-10 minutes, whereupon it is drained and sample is dried under vacuum. The reaction chamber is constructed so as to hold the sample fixed with respect to PL excitation source and detector during the I1

The steady-state spectral profile before and after derivatization is essentially unchanged except in intensity and the transient emission has a similar initial intensity but with an attenuated lifetime.

Reaction products are identified by diffuse-reflectance IR. The IR spectrum of asetched PS-H 2 is dominated by a strong Si-H stretch at 2110 cm- 1. Further assignments are made in Figure 3. Derivatization by ethanol introduces C-H stretches in the 3000 cm-1 region and Si-O around 1100 cm- 1. Hydride stretches on Si backbonded to 0 occur at 2253 ± 2 cm-1, Fig. 3. Broad absorptions at 3500 cm- 1 are from residual water. Reaction of brominated PS with H2 0 results in
