Features of the Template Synthesis of Mesoporous Materials Based on Titano-Siliceous Ethers A. S. Kovalenko, S. V. Gryn, V. G. Ilyin Institute of Physical Chemistry, National Academy of Science of Ukraine 31 Prosp. Nauky, 03028 Kyiv, Ukraine On the basis of titano-siliceous ethers (BuO)2Ti[OSi(OtBu)3]2 and BuOTi[OSi(OtBu)3]3 as molecular precursors, the mesoporous titanosilica materials with high content of titanium (the Ti/Si up to 0.36) and high sorption characteristics are prepared by template synthesis in presence of micell-forming surfac- tants. It is shown that the features of the prepared mesoporous and mesostructured matrices consists in considerable thickness of mesopore walls (2-4 nm), which is probably the result of using bulky titano-siliceous «bilding blocks» in template synthesis. Key words: template synthesis, titano-siliceous ethers, titanosilica. |
