Synthesis and characterization of ordered organo–silica–surfactant mesophases with functionalized MCM-41-type architecture

Abstract

Ordered organo–silica–surfactant mesophases containing covalently linked functionalized moieties are prepared with MCM-41-type architectures by template-directed co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane and organotrialkoxysilanes (RO) 3 Si–R′ [R = Me, Et; R′ = (CH 2 ) 3 SH, (CH 2 ) 3 NH 2 , (CH 2 ) 3 OCH 2 CH(O)CH 2 , (CH 2 ) 3 NCHNCH 2 CH 2 or CH 2 CHCH 2 ].
