First direct synthesis of highly ordered bifunctionalized mesoporous silica thin films.
Optically transparent and highly ordered mesoporous organosilica thin films functionalized with two different organic groups in various proportions were synthesized by templated-directed cocondensation of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and a mixture of two distinct and functional organotriethoxysilanes [NC(CH2)3Si(OEt)3 and O=P(OEt)2(CH2)3Si(OEt)3]. The mesostructured films obtained by evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) approach were deposited on glass or silicon substrates by dip-coating. They were characterized by Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering (GISAXS) and X-ray reflectivity. We showed that whatever the proportion in organic groups, only 2D hexagonal phase having p6m symmetry was observed for all the materials indicating a good compatibility between the organic groups. The bi-functionalization of the internal pores surface by the organotriethoxysilanes groups was clearly evidenced by using micro-Raman spectroscopy.
