Preparation of a microporous silicon oximide gel from the reaction of tris(dimethylamino)silylamine with formamide and its pyrolytic conversion into a silicon oxynitride based glass

Abstract

A high-surface-area silicon oximide-based gel [SiOC(H)[double bond, length as m-dash]NSi]m[Si2N-C(H)[double bond, length as m-dash]O]n[SiN(H)-C(H)[double bond, length as m-dash]O]p[SiOC(H)[double bond, length as m-dash]NH]q[SiNH]r[SiNH2]s[SiNMe2]t was prepared via a formamide-based aminolysis of tris(dimethylamino)silylamine, (Me2N)3SiNH2. The structure of the gel and the mechanism of formation are elucidated. Pyrolysis of the gel at 1000 °C under N2 flow gave an amorphous microporous oxynitride-based glass with a BET surface area of 195 m2 g−1.
