Abstract: | Nonporous spherical silica nanoparticles resulting from a controlled St?ber process are covalently surface modified with redox-active molecules. Ferrocene, a ruthenium(II) complex with an N2P2Cl2 ligand set, and a sterically hindered biphenylamine are used as modifiers. The resulting materials are characterized by physical, spectroscopic, electrochemical, and chemical methods. The cyclic voltammetric behavior is studied in detail and reveals effects of charge transport by electron hopping along the surface of particles adsorbed on a Pt electrode. The ruthenium(II) complex remains catalytically active with respect to hydrogenation upon immobilization on the particles. Thus, the respective material provides a heterogenized homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst on a solid support. |
