The design of such a filigrane network requires the very careful control of chemical parameters and the reward is an assortment of different property profiles owing to the richness of possible variations.
Abstract
Air, air, air… and some solid skeleton; this is the basis for an interesting class of materials-the aerogels (shown schematically on the right). Can one therefore speak of "simple" chemistry? The design of such a filigrane network requires the very careful control of chemical parameters. The reward is an assortment of different property profiles owing to the richness of possible variations.

Porous organic–inorganic hybrid aerogels based on bridging acetylacetonate

TL;DR: In this article, a novel type of organic-inorganic hybrid aerogels with high micro- and mesoporosity have been prepared successfully from a bridging bis(acetylacetonate) ligand, 3,4-diacetyl-2,5-dioxohexane, and trivalent metal ions (Al3+ and Cr3+).
