Abstract

Our recent achievements in the synthesis of monolithic SiO2 xerogels (nonfractured upon drying), as well as hybrid composite nanomaterials and silica glasses based on these xerogels, are considered briefly. A number of new promising methods are developed for preparing organic-inorganic nanohybrids, inorganic nanohybrids, and xerogels doped with transition metal and lanthanide complexes that are chemically bound to the silica matrix and exhibit interesting and technically valuable photophysical, photochemical, and electrochemical properties.
