| Abstract | The gelation behaviour of niobium chloroalkoxide in alcohol solutions containing excess added water (H2O : Nb > 1) has been investigated as a function of Nb : H2O ratio, alcohol type and concentration and the chloride concentration. At an optimum Nb : H2O ratio there is a minimum in the gelation time which is related to a balance between promotion of hydrolysis and the concentration of condensing niobium species. The data are fitted to an expression derived from Flory–Stockmeyer theory of gelation, from which an approximate rate constant for condensation of 800 mol–1 dm3 s–1 is calculated. Further water addition causes hydrolysis of residual Nb—Cl bonds accompanied by a decrease in the gelation rate. This is discussed in terms of (i) the decrease of the chloroxolation condensation reaction, (ii) the stabilisation of the oxolation transition state and (iii) the protonation of reactive MOH groups. The Partial Charge Model is used to predict the dependence of hydrolysis rates on the alcohol type and the nature of the various possible leaving groups. However, the observed trend that the rate of gelation increases as the size of the alcohol increases appears to be due to the decrease in precursor substitution with increasing size of the alcohols, rather than charge effects. This leads to an increase in the number of M—Cl bonds (or M—OH) bonds with a consequently enhanced condensation rate. Although Cl– is not a good leaving group, chloride ion is not present in the dried gel, i.e. it is completely hydrolysed. Using analytical and vibrational spectrosopic data we have shown that the product of hydrolysis and gelation is hydrated Nb2O5 rather than NbCl2(OH)3 as previously proposed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
