Abstract
A method of synthesizing metal alkoxide polymers is provided, for use, as an example, in synthesizing hybrid organic/inorganic materials with low optical absorption for optical applications. The method involves a plurality of acidolysis steps involving acidolysis of a metal alkoxide compound with an acid to produce an intermediate acidolysed solution, and combining and condensing the intermediate acidolysed solutions to produce the metal alkoxide polymer.

A method of synthesising a metal alkoxide polymer, the method comprising the steps of:
- a plurality of acidolysis steps each involving
- acidolysis of a metal alkoxide compound with an acid to produce an intermediate acidolysed solution;
- and
- combining said intermediate acidolysed solutions which condense to produce the metal alkoxide polymer.
A metal alkoxide polymer being synthesised from a plurality of acidolysis steps each involving acidolysis of a metal alkoxide compound with an acid to produce an intermediate acidolysed solution and combining the intermediate acidolysed solutions which are condensed to produce the metal alkoxide polymer.
A method of synthesising a metal alkoxide polymer, the method comprising the steps of:
- acidolysis of a metal alkoxide compound with an acid to produce an intermediate acidolysed solution;
- condensation of the intermediate acidolysed solution;
- and
- further acidolysis of the condensed intermediate solution by the addition of an acid to produce the metal alkoxide compound.
A metal alkoxide polymer being synthesised by acidolysis of a metal alkoxide compound with an acid to produce an intermediate acidolysed solution which is thereafter condensed and further acidolysed by the addition of an acid to produce the metal alkoxide polymer.
