Silica aerogels are unique materials with extraordinary properties such as high porosity, large surface area, and low refractive indices. Due to these properties, they can be applied to a wide range of areas including, insulation, catalyst support, sensors, and dielectric materials. On the other hand, porphyrins and metalloporphyrins are attracting molecules exhibiting promising photochemical and electrochemical properties in various areas including catalysis, solar energy conversion, and medical application. We have prepared and characterized a new hybrid nanomaterials such as tin(IV) porphyrin-imbedded silica aerogels, and will here present in detail. |
