Abstract

Amino-functionalized organic-inorganic hybrid materials with a narrow distributed nanostructure of 2-4 nm in size were obtained by means of a template-free and non-aqueous procedure. Simultaneous twin polymerization of novel amino group containing twin monomers with 2,2'-spirobi[4H-1,3,2-benzodioxasiline] has been applied for this purpose. The amino groups of the organic-inorganic hybrid material are useful for post derivatization.

Highlights

Amino-functionalized organic–inorganic hybrid materials with a narrow distributed nanostructure of 2–4 nm in size were obtained by means of a template-free and non-aqueous procedure
The amino groups of the organic–inorganic hybrid material are useful for post derivatization
Amino groups undergo acid–base reactions with water, and ammonium ions are formed which can have a negative effect on post-reactions of amino groups. In this communication a specific application of twinpolymerization is presented which uses a non-aqueous procedure involving various amino group bearing twin monomers to produce nanostructured organic–inorganic hybrid materials related to amino group containing sol–gel materials
