Abstract
Organic-inorganic composites can be used to tailor the properties of i norganic materials. A method of controlling the distribution and dispe rsion of platinum in platinum-loaded silica using organic-inorganic co mpounds prepared in two different ways is described, and an explanatio n for the unexpected formation of rings of platinum dots on the silica surface (see Figure) is proposed.
