The synthesis of 2-amino-2-chromenes under solvent-free conditions is disclosed here using a silica triflate catalyzed one-pot three component condensation. product was obtained in outstanding yield the optimal reaction range functionalized aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and α/β-naphthol. This procedure stands out for its wide substrate scope, reduced time, great yield, functional group com...

metal nanoshells consists of a dielectric core surrounded by a thin noble metal shell, possess unique optical properties, which render nanoshells attractive for use in different technologies. this paper reports a facile method for growth of small gold nanoparticles on the functionalized surface of larger silica nanoparticles. mono-dispersed silica particles and gold nanoparticles were prepared ...

This study investigates the controlled chemical functionalization of silicon oxide nanostructures prepared by AFM-anodization lithography of alkyl-terminated silicon. Different conditions for the growth of covalently bound mono-, multi- or submonolayers of distinctively functional silane molecules on nanostructures have been identified by AFM-height investigations. Routes for the preparation of...

The chiral selector 6-azido-2, 3-di(p-chlorophenylcarbamoylated) cellulose was synthesized and further chemically immobilized onto 5-μm amino functionalized spherical porous silica gel. It was used as chiral stationary phase in high-performance liquid chromatography. Thirty racemates were successfully separated into enantiomers in either normal phase mode or reversed-phase mode. Good reproducib...

The implications of organically-modified silica-based materials in electrochemical science is reviewed along with some selected recent trends in the field of functionalized and sol–gel silica electrochemistry. These recent trends include the electro-assisted generation of organosilica films on solid electrode surfaces, the preparation and applications of sol–gel derived composite (carbon, gold,...

An extensive study has been made on a series of multifunctional mesoporous silica materials, prepared by introducing two different organoalkoxysilanes, namely 3-[2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethylamino]propyltrimethoxysilane (AEPTMS) and 3-cyanopropyltriethoxysilane (CPTES) during the base-catalyzed condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), using the variable-temperature (VT) hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe ...

A simple procedure afforded novel spiroacenaphthylene derivatives in high yields at room temperature from acenaphthenequinone, malononitrile, and phenol derivatives using amino-functionalized silica (SBA-Pr-NH2) as a heterogeneous efficient solid base catalyst. Using SBA-Pr-NH2 in the current procedure presents several advantages, such as a simpler procedure, shorter reaction times, facile synt...

Well-defined polymer brushes grafted onto silica nanoparticles were prepared by reversible additionfragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT). A versatile RAFT agent, 4-cyanopentanoic acid dithiobenzoate (CPDB), was attached to amino-functionalized colloidal silica nanoparticles by direct condensation of the mercaptothiazoline-activated CPDB with the surface amino groups. RAFT polymeriz...

The development of new ROMP-derived silica-immobilized heterocyclic phosphate reagents and their application in purification-free protocols is reported. Grafting of norbornenyl norbornenyl-functionalized (Nb-tagged) silica particles with functionalized Nb-tagged heterocyclic phosphate monomers efficiently yield high-load, hybrid silica-immobilized oligomeric heterobenzyl phosphates (Si-OHBP) an...
