Porous SiO2 nanoparticles containing ruthenium or sulfur compounds: Sonochemical producing and sonoluminescence in aqueous suspensions

Aqueous suspensions of silicon dioxide porous nanoparticles (average size 10–30 nm, average pore size 5.8 nm) were obtained via ultrasonic dispersing. As was shown through recording SiO molecular lines in a moving single-bubble sonoluminescence spectrum, these nanoparticles penetrate into the bubble and then undergo decay. Similarly, suspensions of SiO2 nanoparticles, the pores of which were saturated with ruthenium dodecacarbonyl or elemental...
