title: Synthesis of functionalized materials using aryloxo-organometallic compounds toward spinel-like MM'2O4 (M = Ba2+, Sr2+; M' = In3+, Al3+) double oxides.
abstract: The predesigned single-source precursors [Ba{(μ-ddbfo)(2)InMe(2)}(2)] (1), [Me(2)In(μ-ddbfo)](2) (2), [Sr{(μ-ddbfo)(2)AlMe(2)}(2)] (4), and [Me(2)Al(μ-ddbfo)](2) (5) (ddbfoH = 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran-7-ol) for spinel-like double oxides and group 13 oxide materials were prepared via the direct reaction of the homoleptic aryloxide [M(ddbfoH)(4)](ddbfo)(2)·ddbfoH (M = Ba(2+), Sr(2+) (3)) and InMe(3) or AlMe(3) in toluene. In all of the reactions, there was an organometallic-driven abstraction of the OH protons from the 7-benzofuranols in the Ba(2+) and Sr(2+) cation sphere. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, (1)H NMR, and FT-IR spectroscopy. In addition, the molecular structures of 1, 2, and 3 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The oxide products derived from the compounds mentioned above were studied using elemental analysis, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy equipped with an energy-dispersive spectrometer. Moreover, their specific surface area and mesopore size distribution were evaluated using nitrogen porosimetry. Preliminary investigations of the Eu-doped SrAl(2)O(4) and In(2)O(3) phosphors revealed that the oxides obtained could be considered as matrices for lanthanide ions.
