Abstract
The stability of aminopropyl-silica gel (AP-SG) against hydrolysis was investigated after modification by 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDMO), 8-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxaldehyde (HQC) or isatin (Is) by Schiff’s base condensation reaction. The hybrid modified silica gel (HMSG) compounds; BDMO-SG, HQC-SG and Is-SG were characterized by IR, thermogravimetric and elemental analyses, magic angle spinning-13C-nuclear magnetic resonance, pH-metric titration and inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry-monitored silica hydrolysis. The stability of the HMSG’s was found to be dependant on the type of the functionalization group, which may protect the silica surface via; (1) the delocalization of the free lone pair of electrons on nitrogen of the propylamine group in the aromatic rings, which reduces local basicity experienced on the silica surface, (2) the hydrophobic nature of the organic substrates, which hinders the attack of hydroxide ions and water molecules, and (3) the bulky organic substrate, which hinders nucleophilic attack on silicon. HQC-SG is recommended as an optimal modification to meet the requirements of stability, capacity and separation efficiency of Hg(II) at pH 4.1.
