Abstract
The sol-gel process is a useful method for preparing two series of organically and co-ordinately modified xerogels of the types [CuN n ]·N 5−n ·5xSiO4/2 (n < 4) and [Cu(N−N)n]·(N−N)2−n ·2x SiO4/2(n ≤ 2), where N = NH2(CH2)3 SiO3/2, N−N = NH2(CH2)2NH·(CH2)3SiO3/2 and x = [SiO4/2]/[N] or [SiO4/2]/[N−N]. The amino groups in the materials are coordinately active and participate partly in the coordination sphere of Cu(II) ions. The composition of the coordination sphere can be varied with the SiO4/2 content and also as a result of the thermal decomposition of the organic residues at higher temperatures.
Because the xerogel materials are considered to be catalyst precursors, this study is focused on their coordination and thermal properties. The prepared xerogels, such as silica, aminated silicates with N and N−N, as well as those entities complexed with Cu(II), were characterised by FT-IR spectroscopy. During gelation and thermal decomposition the materials were analysed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The xerogels were additionally studied by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The gaseous products of the thermal decomposition of these materials in an Ar atmosphere were investigated by the use of FT-IR spectroscopy coupled with TG and DTG thermal analysis. These data were complemented by temperature-programmed decomposition (TPDec) in a 2% O2 + 98% Ar stream coupled with quadrupole mass spectroscopy.
