Participants

Reaction Steps

Silicic acid (250 g.) is added in small portions to a solution of silver nitrate (25 g.) in hot methanol (~700 ml.) until a slurry is obtained. The solvent is removed from the slurry on a rotary evaporator at 50°-60° in vacuo until the residue is reduced to a free flowing powdery solid. This material is spread on a tray and dried in the absence of light in an oven at 120° for 17 hrs. Prior to use the cooled, dried material is stored in a glass container protected from light and moisture.
