An easy route for the synthesis of ordered three-dimensional large-pore mesoporous organosilicas with Im-3m symmetry
Ordered three-dimensional (3-D) Im-3m-type mesoporous organosilicas with large-pore sizes (>6 nm) have been prepared by an easy solvent evaporation method by using bridged silsesquioxane 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane precursor and triblock copolymers as the structure-directing agents.
