Covalent incorporation of an alkoxysilyl-substituted [60]fullerene derivative in sol-gel matrices
1997
A [60]fullerene adduct bearing a reactive triethoxysilyl functional
group has been synthesized. The high solubility of this adduct in polar
solvents enables its covalent incorporation into a sol-gel silica matrix.
In comparison to the conventional admixing of ‘naked’
fullerene to silica sols, this approach has the following distinct
advantages: (i) even with an adduct content of up to 2 wt% (related to
SiO
2
), the reaction mixture remains homogeneous during the
entire sol-gel process, and (ii) the covalently attached fullerene adduct
is fixed in the silica matrix and therefore cannot migrate.
