Functionalization of Titanium Dioxide by In Situ Surface Crystallization of Bisphosphonate-Based Coordination Complexes.

ABSTRACT: Functionalization of highly pure rutile phase titanium dioxide (TiO₂) particles with a selected bisphosphonate-based coordination complex (BPCC), ZOLE-Ca form II, was achieved through in situ surface crystallization. The hydrothermal reaction of the selected BPCC was carried out in the presence of photoactivated rutile phase TiO₂ by ultraviolet irradiation. The reaction time was varied to control the crystal growth of the BPCC around the TiO₂ core, resulting in a functionalized material with different shell thicknesses: TiO₂-core:nano-Ca@ZOLE-shell-† (5 min) and TiO₂-core:nano-Ca@ZOLE-shell-‡ (10 min). The crystal phase assessment of the BPCC and the polymorphic phase purity of the metal oxide were determined after immobi
