Acid centers on the surface of polyzirconiummethylsiloxanes (PZMS) containing 5 and 10%ZrO2 were studied by diffuse-reflectance IR-spectroscopy. Deuterated acetonitrile adsorbed at room temperature at a 96 torr saturated vapor pressure was used as a probe-molecule for acid centers. It was shown that zirconium ions were not built into the matrix but were situated predominantly on the surface of the siliconoxygen framework of silica gels. The introduction of zirconium ions into the polymethylsiloxane matrix at the stage of sol formation caused the appearance of Lewis acid centers (coordinatively unsaturated zirconium ions) on the surface of PZMS along with centers of the physical adsorption of CD3CN.
