Convenient two step synthesis of29Si labelled tetraalkoxysilanes

29Si enrichment would be advantageous for many NMR studies of the structural properties of sol-gel derived materials. The required starting materials (29Si enriched alkoxysilanes), however, are expensive and difficult to provide. Here we present a scalable, reliable synthesis of 29Si enriched tetraethoxysilane starting from silicon dioxide or elemental silicon with a total yield up to 75%.

Synthesis of high surface area CaSO4·0.5H2O nanorods using calcium ethoxide as precursor

We report a novel solvothermal route for the production of bassanite (CaSO4·0.5H2O) nanoparticles using amorphous Ca-ethoxide as a precursor. Bassanite nanorods, 120-200 nm in length, with the highest specific surface area reported so far (54 m2g?1) and enhanced reactivity, are obtained at 78 °C and 1 atm. Such nanoparticles may find application in several fields, including biomaterials, drug delivery, and cultural heritage conservation.

Alkoxy metal powder as well as preparation method and application thereof

The invention relates to a preparation method and an application of alkoxy metal powder, which are applied to preparation of an alkoxy metal carrier of an olefin polymerization catalyst. The alkoxy metal carrier comprises the following components: metal halide, sodium alcoholate or potassium alcoholate, or a solvent. The molar ratio of the components for preparing the alkoxy metal compound is as follows: metal halide: sodium alcoholate or potassium alcoholate = 1:(0.001-30); wherein the metal halide is a metal chloride, a metal bromide, a metal fluoride or a metal iodide; the metal is a main group metal, a sub-group metal or a VIII group metal. The catalyst prepared from the carrier is used for preparing an olefin polymerization catalyst, and has the advantages of high catalyst activity, good hydrogen regulation performance, good copolymerization performance, low polymer powder content, low wax content and good particle morphology; the catalyst is used for ethylene homopolymerization,ethylene and alpha-olefin copolymerization or ethylene and polar alkene monomer copolymerization, propylene homopolymerization, propylene and alpha-olefin copolymerization, or propylene and polar alkene monomer copolymerization.

Preparation of calcium alkoxide method

The invention relates to a method for preparing alkoxide of calcium. The method includes the step that an alcoholic compound is reacted with calcium carbide. The alcoholic compound is selected from monohydric alcohol and one or more of polyhydric alcohols which include larger than or equal to two hydroxide radicals.

Study of challenging calcium alkoxides in solution by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (Part 1)

Electrospray ionization was applied on calcium alkoxides studying the most suitable operative conditions for their detection/identification. To reach this aim, calcium methoxide and ethylate were obtained by two different synthetic pathways, in order to understand their possible different aggregation states. The reaction mixture shows the presence of a supernatant and of a precipitate poorly soluble in most organic solvents. The purpose of this preliminary study is to understand the qualitative differences between the precipitated species and the ones in solution by analyzing both of them with the same analytical method. The electrospray ionization (ESI) operating conditions (voltages, temperatures, solvents) allow not only the detection of single species but also the study of clusters present in solution. Particular attention was paid to establishing the role of ESI conditions in the formation of the detected species. Experiments performed at different sprayer voltages (1 kV, 2 kV, 3 kV and 4 kV) proved that ESI does not perturbate the equilibria present in the original solution, demonstrating that the technique can be a useful tool to achieve information on this class of compounds.

New calcium alkoxides for consolidation of carbonate rocks. Influence of precursors' characteristics on morphology, crystalline phase and consolidation effects

New ambient temperature liquid calcium alkoxides, [Ca(O(CH 2CH2O)3CH3)2] (1) and [Ca(O(CH2CH2O)3CH2CH 3)2] (2), together with [Ca(OCH2C(CH 3)3)2] (3), were synthesised by reaction of ammonia-activated calcium with the appropriate alcohol. Their potentiality as stone consolidant products was investigated and compared with those of other alkoxides: [Ca(OCH2CH3)2(CH3CH 2OH)4] (4), [Ca(OCH3)2] (5), [{Ca(OCH2CH2OCH3)2}9] (6), already described in the literature. Reaction of 1-3 with the atmosphere was studied, final products analysed and kinetic pathways investigated. The reaction produces CaCO3 and the vaterite/calcite ratios observed in the coatings generated from isopropyl alcohol solutions of 1-6 were found to considerably vary with the alkoxide precursor, which has a strong influence also on the morphology of the produced films. Furthermore, their efficiency as stone consolidants was tested by ultrasound measurements. The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique 2012.
