ABSTRACTAlkoxides of the type (RO)nE-X-A in which a functional organic group A is connected to the alkoxide moiety via an inert and hydrolytically stable spacer X, are used to bind metal complex moieties. Sol-gel processing of the resulting metal complexes [(RO)nE-X-A]yMIm under standard conditions results in the formation of metal complex containing gels. If the metal complex moiety MLm is catalytically active, this method results in the heterogenization of homogeneous catalysts. Another application of the metal complex substituted gels is the preparation of composites containing uniform, nanometer-sized metal particles homogeneously dispersed in a ceramic matrix.

A heterogenized rhodium complex, prepared by sol-gel processing of Rh(CO)Cl[PPh2CH2CH2Si(OEt)3]2 and Si(OEt)4, is shown to catalyze the conversion of the silanes H4-nSiPh„ (n = 1 - 3) or (HMe2Si)2O to (poly)siloxanes by air or water. Using THF as a solvent, the silanoles Ph3SiOH or Ph2Si(OH)2 are obtained instead. The reaction of phenylacetic acid or acetic acid with HSiPh3 to give silyl esters is catalyzed by the same compound.

AbstractNickel Chromite nanoparticles were successfully synthesized via a modified sol-gel method using nickel acetate and ammonium dichromate in melted stearic acid as a complexing agent. The diffractograms of the nanoparticles confirmed a pure formation of NiCr2O4 spinel without any minor phase. The coordination structure of as prepared nanoparticles shows a series of absorption bands below 1,000 cm−1 were evidenced the M-O (Cr-O, Ni-O) bond in the sample. Optical band gap, magnetic properties and color parameters (L*.a*.b*) indicates that the final nanoparticles are optically and magnetically active. The particle size of NiCr2O4 was calculated using Scherrer equation at about 24 nm. Optical band gap obtained at 1.7 eV indicating that NiCr2O4 nanoparticles are semiconductor material and can be used in electrical devices.

ABSTRACTThe previously developed method to prepare highly dispersed metals in SiO2 by sol-gel processing of metal complexes containing alkoxysilyl-substituted ligands was extended to the preparation (i) of bimetallic particles in SiO2 and (ii) of highly dispersed metals in TiO2.

ABSTRACTThe sol-gel technique was used to fabricate α-Fe/mullite composite materials with iron concentrations ranging from 20–60 wt.% Fe. Microscopy studies showed the microstructure to consist of particulate α-Fe dispersed uniformly throughout a mullite matrix. Iron particle size, estimated by TEM, ranged from 20–500 nm. The materials exhibited ferromagnetic hysteresis with saturation magnetization Ms values as high as 115 EMU/g.
