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.

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.

ABSTRACTWe have synthesized a new second-order NLO compound containing both the highly active tricyanovinyl electron acceptor group and appropriate funtionality for covalent bonding to an inorganic silica matrix by sol-gel processing. Sub-Micron films of this material can be prepared by spin-coating, and thicker films can be prepared by casting or by spinning multiple layers. After curing at 150 °C, these films exhibit good chemical durability. The chromophores can be aligned by either corona or parallel-plate poling during the curing process. In this paper we will discuss the synthesis of the NLO compounds; sol-gel processing and thin-film preparation; optical, thermal, and chemical properties of the films; and the results of both corona and parallel-plate poling experiments.
