One-step template-directed synthesis of multifunctionalised nanoporous silica:on the way to interactive nanomaterials

摘要

The preparation of multifunctional mesoporous silica containing a NLO chromophore in the framework (bridged azoben-zene phosphonium salts) and mercaptopropyl groups able to stabilize gold(0) nanoparticles in the channel pores was achieved in one step by using the direct liquid crystal templating approach.
