title: Thiol-functionalized mesostructured silica vesicles.
abstract: The direct supramolecular assembly of organofunctional mesostructures with a vesicular hierarchical morphology is reported for the first time for (SiO2)1-x(LSiO1.5)x compositions, where L is a mercaptopropyl group and x = 0.10-0.30.
