We report the use of mesoporous silicon diimide gel as a basic stationary phase in thin layer chromatography for the characterisation and purification of acid-sensitive compounds. The gel is prepared by a simple sol-gel process and exhibits a large s...

Direct amine-functionalisation of γ-Fe2O3nanoparticles (2014)
Journal Article
Rocher, V., Manerova, J., Kinnear, M., Evans, D. J., & Francesconi, M. G. (2014). Direct amine-functionalisation of γ-Fe2O3nanoparticles. Dalton Transactions : an international journal of inorganic chemistry, 43(7), 2948-2952. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3dt52386a

A novel and simple preparation of amine-modified γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles is described. The presence of amine groups on the surface, instead of hydroxyl groups, will allow conjugation of biologically active molecules to the iron oxide nanoparticles with...

Silicon imidonitride aerogel exhibiting macro- and meso-dual porosity (2012)
Journal Article
Rocher, V., Kelly, S. M., & Hector, A. L. (2012). Silicon imidonitride aerogel exhibiting macro- and meso-dual porosity. Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, 156, 196-201. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.micromeso.2012.02.041

Porous silicon imidonitride aerogels have been produced by combining a sol-gel process based on [Si(NH2)(NMe2)3] and ammonia that is known for producing xerogels with controlled mesoporosity, with a supercritical drying process using diethylamine to...
