A hybrid mesoporous material with uniform distribution of carboxy groups assembled from a cubic siloxane-based precursor.
A novel hybrid mesoporous material functionalized with carboxy groups was synthesized by self-assembly of a novel building block consisting of a cubic siloxane unit and a long organic chain with an ester bond and the following hydrolysis of ester bonds, representing a promising approach to designing hybrid structures at both molecular and mesoscopic scales.
