We used 13C and 1H NMR spectroscopy to examine the equilibrium speciation in formaldehyde–methanol–water solutions at moderate formaldehyde concentrations such as those synthesis of formaldehyde-based organic gels. Concentrations small methylene glycol oligomers their methoxylated forms found these were quantitatively determined over a range methanol–water ratios, temperatures between 10 55 °C. Using measured concentrations, constants for dimer trimer formation well methoxylation calculated....
Nanoporous organic gels can be synthesized from aqueous solutions of formaldehyde and resorcinol in the presence basic electrolytes such as sodium carbonate. It is well known that present form methylene glycols or methoxy-glycols methanolic solutions, but influence pH on speciation these has not been previously studied. Here we investigated effects carbonate colloidal scale clustering formaldehyde-methanol-water absence resorcinol. We used (13)C NMR spectroscopy to quantitatively...
