VERIFYING THE FUNCTIONALITY LAWS OF MESOPOROUS CARBON.

Background. The study of the degree of functionality of carboxyl groups, the influence of mass ratios of reagents on the yield and properties of products is relevant. Purpose. To determine options for the formation of functional groups on the surface of MGU when modified with zirconium stearate. Methodology. It has been shown that the formation of functional groups is possible at the level of functionality of mesoporous carbon with a mass ratio (C17H35COOH+ZrO2): MGU of more than 0.4:1 and carboxyl groups of at least 0.6 mmol/g. Originality. The composition of the reagents was selected in which zirconium atoms are coordinated with the surface of the MSU, and MSU are coordinated with the stearate-zirconate groups, having good compatibility with non-polar solvents. Findings. It was established that the zirconium (IV) atom, as part of the functional groups, is associated with two stearate ions and two carboxyl groups on the surface of the MGU.
