Abstract Scope |
Reactive organic functionalities linked to trialkoxysilane especially 3-aminopropyltrialkoxysilane, [2-[2-(3,4-Epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl]trimethoxysilane, 3-Glycidoxypropyltrimathoxysilane and trimethoxysilane has been demonstrated at one end as an efficient precursors in deriving nanostructured materials via variety of options of introducing functional reactivity namely : (1) Reactive organotrialkoxysilanes derived Biocompatible thin film of organically modified silicate, (2) Reactive organotrialkoxysilanes derived Metal organic framework in nanostructured network of organically modified silicate, (3) Reactive organotrialkoxysilanes mediated synthesis of processable monometallic, bimetallic and trimetallic noble metal nanoparticles, (4) Synthetic insertion of metal nanoparticles and their cheaper transition metal analogues within mesoporous matrix for excitable technical applications, (5) Reactive organotrialkoxysilane derived fluorescent nanoparticles, (6) Reactive organotrialkoxysilane derived functional Prussian blue nanoparticles; with subsequent emphasis on the development of chemical sensor’s technology. |
