Popis: The development of new materials with sorption properties is of interest, because sorbents are used in various fields of science and technology and in everyday life. Amorphous silica is chosen for the study of the properties of modified sorbents. Since a strict description of the interactions of silica surfaces with grafted structures is problematic, a model calculation of the protonation energies of a structure with the grafted N-(propyl)ethylenediaminetriacetic acid is used. A model experiment based on semiempirical quantum-chemical calculations indicates that the protonation of silica modified by molecules with weakly basic nitrogen is accompanied by the formation of surface complexes with different structures, including those with hydrogen bonds.
