While aging the reaction mixture of gadolinium tri-isopropoxide with acetylacetone (pentane-2,4- dione, acacH) in a 1 : 2 molar ratio in toluene for crystalisation, crystals of Gd6(μ3-OH)6(acac)12・1.25 CHCl3 (1) were obtained in high yield. The crystal structure analysis reveals that 1 has a M6O12 core which is constituted of two distorted, tricapped, face-sharing cubane units (each with one missing edge) wherein the metal atoms are octacoordinated with a distorted square-antiprismatic geometry. In a sol-gel treatment the amorphous xerogel obtained from 1 was transformed into a nano-crystalline product at 600 °C while the xerogel of Gd(OPri)3 under similar conditions required a heat treatment up to 900 °C for the same development.

The sol-gel route using triethoxysilane as a precursor has been used to prepare films of Si nanocrystallites. These films were deposited on (001)-oriented silicon substrates either by spin coating deposition of a liquid phase that was further heat-treated under static vacuum (dots embedded in silica gel) or by vapour phase from the thermal decomposition under vacuum of the dried gels (uncapped dots). We address the structural characterisation of these samples and we find that a spontaneous orientation of the crystallites is obtained for heating treatment beyond 800°C if the dots are deposited in the vapour phase. The optical properties of dots embedded in silica gel reveal a strong red-orange photoluminescence due to carrier recombination at the dot surface, which is noticeably contaminated by oxygen and hydrogen.
