Abstract
Silica particles surface-imprinted with the soman hydrolysis product pinacolyl methylphosphonate (PMP) demonstrated binding selectivity for the hydrolysis product over other phosphonate mono- and diesters. Particle surfaces were imprinted during particle formation by adding pinacolyl methylphosphonate to the microemulsion formed from polyoxyethylene(5) nonylphenyl ether (NP-5), cyclohexane, ammoniated ethanol, and water. A number of trialkoxysilanes with terminal functional groups such as primary amine, quaternary amine, dihydroimidazole, and ethylpyridine were mixed with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) during particle formation to enhance the binding and selectivity of the resulting surface-imprinted particles. The BET surface area of the silicates was dependent on the specific organosilane added during particle formation. The addition of primary amine- and dihydroimidazole-terminated organosilanes produced high-density, low-pore-volumes colloids while the addition of 2-ethylpyridine- and quatermnary amine-term...
