Periodic mesoporous organosilica from micellar oligomer template solution

Chem Commun (Camb). 2002 Sep 21:(18):2118-9. doi: 10.1039/b207134g.

Abstract

Periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) with two-dimensional hexagonal symmetry was synthesised using a bridged silsesquioxane (CH3O)3Si-CH2-CH2-Si(CH3O)3 as precursor and polyoxyethylene non-ionic surfactant (Brij-56) as template. The hybrid material was characterised by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption, TEM, and solid-state 29Si MAS NMR spectroscopy.
