In the present work, novel organic-inorganic hybrids containing zirconium and phosphorus compounds were synthesized by using the sol-gel method, starting from zirconyl chloride hexahydrate (ZrOCl 2 ·6H 2 O) and phenyl phosphonic acid (PPA). All the syntheses were performed at room temperature by using water as solvent. For some of the performed syntheses, alcohols with long hydrocarbon chain ( n = 4–8) were added to the sol-gel process. They behave as nonionic surfactants due to their hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups, and they decrease the surface tension but without micelles formation, therefore without reaching CMC (critical micellar concentration). At a certain concentration, they will phase separate. This leads to the formation of a liquid/liquid interface. When the used alcohols were more hydrophobic, the obtained interface was more stable. This helped the synthesis and significantly changed its kinetics, as follows: in water, the chemical reaction was finished in 6 h, but when heptanol or octanol were added, the reaction time decreased to 3 h.

溶胶-凝胶法制备的含锆和磷化合物的杂化物

在目前的工作中，以六水合氯化锆 (ZrOCl 2 ·6H 2 O) 和苯基膦酸 (PPA) 为原料，采用溶胶-凝胶法合成了含有锆和磷化合物的新型有机-无机杂化物。所有合成均在室温下以水为溶剂进行。对于一些进行的合成，具有长烃链（n = 4-8）的醇被添加到溶胶-凝胶过程中。由于它们的疏水基团和亲水基团，它们表现为非离子表面活性剂，它们降低表面张力但不会形成胶束，因此不会达到 CMC（临界胶束浓度）。在一定浓度下，它们将相分离。这导致形成液/液界面。当所使用的醇更疏水时，所获得的界面更稳定。
