Stabilization of silica nanoparticles dispersions by surface modification with silicon derivative of thiacalix[4]arene

© 2015, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. For the first time, silica nanopowder functionalized with thiacalixarene derivatives was synthesized by ultrasonication of nanoparticles (diameter 23.7 ± 2.4 nm) with organosilicon derivative of thiacalixarene in glacial acetic acid. The protocol resulted in the formation of colloidal solution of low-disperse (polydispersity index of 0.11) submicron-sized (diameter 192.5 nm) clusters of nanoparticles according to the dynamic light scattering data. As defined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mean diameter of thiacalixarene-functionalized nanoparticles is equal to 25.5 ± 2.5 nm and the shape is close to spherical. SEM images confirm low aggregation of thiacalixarene-modified nanoparticle compared to initial silica nanopowder (mean diameter of aggregates 330 and 429 nm, correspondingly). According to the thermogravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry and elemental analysis of the nanoparticles obtained, 5 % of the powder mass was related to thiacalixarene units. The effect of thiacalixarene functionalization of silica nanoparticles on linear polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)—silica dispersions was modeled to achieve high resistance toward liquid media required for similar sol–gel prepared PDMS-based materials applied for solid-phase microextraction. In such a manner, the influence of thiacalixarene-modified nanofiller on thermal stability and resistance against polar organic solvents was estimated. Similarity of decomposition temperature of both thiacalixarene-functionalized nanoparticles and non-functionalized silica nanoparticles was found. Swelling/solubility behavior observed was related to partial dissolution of PDMS/silica (10 % mixture) in alcohols. Thiacalixarene-functionalized silica particles exerted significantly higher resistance of PDMS/silica composites toward alcohol solvents

© 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.Hybrid thiacalix[4]arene/SiO2 nanoparticles based on a thiacalixarene derivative containing simultaneously three benzyl and one triethoxysilyl groups at the lower rim and silicon dioxide nanopowder were obtained for the first time. The adsorbing properties of the synthesized hybrid organo-inorganic nanoparticles in relation to aromatic guest molecules (2,4,6trinitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, 2-nitroaniline, 3-nitroaniline, 4-nitroaniline, 2,4-dinitroaniline) were studied in comparison with unmodified silicon dioxide particles

MALDI-TOF MS and Morphology Studies of Thiacalixarene-Silsesquioxane Products of Oligo- and Polycondensation

© 2014, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. For the first time condensed silsesquioxane derivatives of tetratrialkoxysilyl compounds have been characterized by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Tetrasubstituted p-tert-butyl thiacalix[4]arene derivatives containing organosilicon fragments with variable stereochemistry were chosen as organosilicon compounds for polycondensation. Information obtained from mass spectra was used to deduce both the structures of oligomeric derivatives, as well as the structure of silsesquioxane framework. The morphology of formed polysilsesquioxanes was investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy

Modification of silica nanoparticles with stereisomers of p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene containing four 2-oxo-2-{[3-(triethoxysilyl)prop-1-yl]amino}ethoxy substituents at the lower rim

© 2017, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. Three stereoisomers (cone, partial cone, and 1,3-alternate) of p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene bearing four anchor propyltriethoxysilane substituents at the lower rim were synthesized for the first time. Surface modification of silica nanoparticles (d = 12 nm) with the synthesized macrocycles gave novel hybride thiacalix [4] arene‒SiO 2 particles. The obtained nanostructured adsorbents were found to efficiently extract nitroaromatic compounds from aqueous solutions. The partial cone and 1,3-alternate thiacalix[4]arene–SiO 2 hybrid particles showed affinity to nitrophenols
