the aim of this work is to synthesize and investigate the performance of yttria-doped zirconia solgelcoatings in the chemical corrosion prevention of zircaloy-4 (zirconium alloy) in a 1 n h2so4environment. the influence of four different molar ratios of water to alkoxide, namely 1, 4, 12, and20, on the coating quality and its corrosion prevention performance was investigated. differentialtherma...

A general introduction to the application of zirconia materials is provided in this chapter with a specific emphasis on the application in membrane and the use of zirconia as a high-k material. The main focus of this thesis is the preparation of suitable heteroleptic alkoxide precursors for the application in sol-gel and metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Selecting suitable alkoxid...

Abstract:Nanostructured titania was synthesized by colloidal and polymeric sol-gel routes. Stable colloidal and polymeric titania sols were prepared by adjusting the proper values of the acid/alkoxide and the water/alkoxide molar ratios. The properties of sols were determined by dynamic light scattering technique and synthesized titania was characterized by thermogravimetry and differential the...

The feasibility of gas phase deposition using a Ti alkoxide precursor for precise surface modification catalysts was demonstrated by modifying mesoporous alumina support with oxide overcoat.

Fluoride-free cross-coupling of aryl- and alkenyldimethylsilanes with organic halides proceeded in the presence of monocopper(I) alkoxide of ethylene glycol.

1,6-Enynes can be transformed into vinylidenecyclopentanes via gold-promoted 5-exo dig cyclisation followed by 1,5-hydride or -alkoxide shift.

In this study the effects of the nature of metal alkoxides on their vapour pressures and thermal decomposition chemistry are reported. The vapour pressure and the volatility of a metal alkoxide strongly depends on the steric effect of its alkoxy group. The thermal decomposition chemistry of one metal alkoxide (di-acetoxy-di-t-butoxysilane, DADBS) has been studied by mass spectrometry at tempera...

Group 4 permethylpentalene (C8Me62−; Pn*) aryloxide and alkoxide complexes have been synthesised, fully characterised used for the polymerisation of lactide monomers.
