Six-coordinated silicon is only seen in samples at very specific composition or made at high temperature/pressure. In this study, we managed to synthesize calcium phosphosilicate xerogels containing six-coordinated silicon with the help of polyols by sol-gel method, without the need of treatment at high temperature or high pressure. Both phosphorus precursors and polyols were found to be essential for the formation of six-coordinated silicon species; in the absence of either species, only normal four-coordinated silicon was observed under otherwise identical conditions. Samples containing six-coordinated silicon sites were found to release silicon species faster than those without six-coordinated silicon sites upon dissolved in water, suggesting that six-coordinated silicon species have higher reactivity toward hydrolysis.展开更多

The monolithic samples have been prepared via sol-gel process using tetraethorthosilicate (TEOS), Si(C2H5O)4 and Triethylphosphate (TEP) (C2H5O)3P(O) as SiO2 and P2O5 precursors. Phosphate incorporates into the silicate network by substituting Si atoms and consequently, we observed changes in structural and spectroscopic properties for these systems. The structures of prepared samples were examined by observed weight loss, XRD and FTIR. It has been found that in the structure of pure silica and phosphosilicate glasses there are formed domains characterized by certain degree of ordering of the units present in their composition, while the structure of pure silica is still amorphous of these glasses. The changing character of domains structure may be the reason of different chemical activities of phosphosilicate glass.展开更多
