Identification of self- and cross-condensation products in organically modified silica sols by 29Si and 170 NMR
نویسندگان
چکیده
High resolution 295i and 170 NMR spectroscopy has been used to identify selfand cross-condensation products in sols prepared from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and organically modified triethoxysilanes (RTES, where R is a methyl, ethyl or phenyl group). The sols were prepared by the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of TEOS and RTES with H20/Si mole ratios of 0.15, 0.3 or 0.5. Resonance assignments were made by comparing the positions and intensities of peaks in the spectra of single and multicomponent systems as a function of reaction time. Both 295i and ~70 NMR spectroscopy exhibit resonances which are uniquely attributed to species formed by cross-condensation reactions between TEOS and RTES. Approaches to improve the resolution of ~70 NMR spectra were only moderately successful because the resonance envelopes have substantial contributions from inhomogeneous components.

An Investigation of Molecular Templating in Amorphous Silicas by Cross-Polarization NMR Spectroscopy
The precise pore sizes defined by crystalline zeolite lattices have led to intensive research on zeolite membranes. Unfortunately, zeolites have been extremely difficult to prepare in a defect-free thin film form needed for membrane flux and selectivity. We introduced tetrapropylammonium (TPA), a structure-directing agent for zeolite ZSM-5, into a silica sol and exploit the development of high ...
متن کاملSPINNABILITY OF SILICA SOLS Structural and rheological criteria
29Si NMR spectroscopy of concentrated silicate sols, prepared by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of TEOS in ethanol with H20/Si ratios, r -1.5 or 1.7, followed by alcohol evaporation, shows that the polysilicate species responsible for spinnability are not simple rigid-rod, ladder polymers or linear polymers. Instead a distribution of silicate species is observed consistent with the products of a sta...

This paper highlights the use of two-dimensional (2D) solid-state NMR correlation techniques to probe the chemical homogeneity of organically modified silicate networks. Specifically, 29Si{1H} heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) NMR experiments have revealed the spatial proximity of the two types of Si units present in a gel obtained from co-hydrolysis of methyldiethoxysilane and triethoxysilane...

Biogenic silica production occurs at mild conditions with greater control of pore size, shape, and micropatterning than is possible with typical industrial sol-gel methods, providing inspiration for potential alternative routes to silica synthesis. Researchers have implicated the amine moieties, histidine and polylysine, on proteins isolated from sponges and diatoms as catalysts for biogenic si...

We demonstrate that the selectivity of microchip electrophoresis separations is greatly improved by the presence of organically modified silica (Ormosil) sols in the run buffer. A negatively-charged N-(trimethoxysilylpropyl)ethylenediamine triacetic-acid (TETT)-based sol is used for improving the selectivity between nitroaromatic explosives and a methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMOS)-based sol is empl...
