Method to synthesize lanthanide fluoride materials from lanthanide fluorinated alkoxides

DWPI Title: Synthesizing a lanthanide hexafluoro-isopropoxide derivative, used for producing lanthanide fluoride nanoparticles for e.g. renewable geothermal power, comprises reacting hexafluoro iso-propanol with substituted silane in an organic solvent
Abstract: Lanthanide fluorinated alkoxide derivatives can be synthesized from the alcoholysis reaction of the lanthanide bis-trimethylsilyl amide and an excess amount of hexafluoro iso-propanol. Nanoparticles can be formed from the lanthanide fluorinated alkoxide derivatives by a solvothermal or solution precipitation process.
Use: The method is useful for synthesizing a lanthanide hexafluoro-isopropoxide derivative that is useful for producing lanthanide fluoride nanoparticles (claimed), where the lanthanide fluoride nanoparticles are useful for renewable geothermal power, and in ion detecting sensors.
Advantage: The method provides the lanthanide hexafluoro-isopropoxide derivative, which provides the lanthanide fluoride nanoparticles exhibiting high surface area and increased detection capability.
Novelty: Synthesizing a lanthanide hexafluoro-isopropoxide derivative, comprises reacting hexafluoro isopropanol with substituted silane (I) in an organic solvent to form the lanthanide hexafluoro-isopropoxide derivative.
