Abstract:

Herein we report the synthesis of novel vanadia/silica/thiazole azo dye inorganic–organic hybrid materials by a sol–gel process using vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) as a precursor. The materials were synthesized from vanadia and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) with thiazole azo dyes, which were synthesized using 2-amino thiazole as the coupling component and then underwent a coupling reaction with the diazonium component, p-nitroaniline. Alternatively, the thiazole azo dyes were processed by a hydrolysis–condensation reaction with a constant ratio of VTES, vanadia and TEOS in appropriate proportions using a catalyst. The structures of these hybrid materials were examined by Fourier transform infrared analysis, 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. 

Keywords:
