English abstract:
Porous, organically modified silica-based mixed oxides were prepared in a two-step process. First, a mixture of tetraethoxysilane, bis(triethoxysilyl)dipropylamine and, optionally, 1,4-bis(triethoxysilyl)benzene was treated with metal chlorides (ZrCl4, TiCl4, or AlCl3), and no water or water-based catalyst was added to the sols. After film formation, the materials were exposed to ambient humidity to achieve hydrolytic condensation of residual groups. Materials with wormhole-like ordered porosity and uniform mesopores were obtained with metal proportions up to about 20 %. According to XPS measurements, the metals are homogenously distributed in the silica matrix.
