Recent advances in sol-gel synthesis of monolithic silica and silica-based glasses
2013, Journal of Asian Ceramic SocietiesCitation Excerpt :As described in Section 4.1, F− ions added to precursor solutions react with silica oligomers to form SiF groups. This surface modification diminishes the numbers of SiOH groups and adsorbed water molecules [176,179,180]. In addition, a portion of the fluorine is lost during sintering, mainly as HF and SiF4 [179], and the fluorine loss is most likely accompanied by an additional loss of SiOH groups.

2012, Materials Science and Engineering: BCitation Excerpt :The presence of large pores is generally desirable to suppress the fracture during drying and bubbling due to the release of gaseous species during sintering. In addition, SiF groups formed by the HF catalysis may replace SiOH groups [20–23], which increase the optical loss at fiber telecommunication spectral range (wavelength at ∼1.5 μm) and enhance the non-radiative decay of PL centers. Incorporation of fluorine in silica matrix may also be effective in suppressing the oxidation of fluoride nanocrystals during sintering.
Macrocycle-pore network interactions: Aluminum tetrasulfophthalocyanine in organically modified silica
2011, Journal of Non-Crystalline SolidsIn situ physical or covalent trapping of phthalocyanine macrocycles within porous silica networks
2011, PolyhedronCitation Excerpt :In the NIR spectrum (Fig. 7), the bands at 5757 and 4239 cm−1, were caused by alkyl groups vibrations [40,42], which still remained in the samples after dehydration at 225 °C (Fig. 7). In the 29Si NMR spectra (Fig. 8) of silica xerogels prepared from TEOS + (OH)AlTSPc (with and without EtTEOS, see Table 1), the Q2, Q3 and Q4 signals were due to silicon atoms bonded to two, three or four siloxane chains (–O–Si–) [43–46], while the signals at δ = −57.30 and −64.36 ppm could be attributed to the existence of alkyl groups bonded to a silicon atom linked to two (T2) or three (T3) siloxane chains [45,46]. The third and fourth ligands could be hydroxyl groups (Fig. 8).
