Mesopore Functionalization as Highly Specific Tool for the Control of Single Molecule Dynamics in Silica Materials

چکیده
1. Introduction Nanoporous channel systems, for example M41S-materials, form a class of very promising host systems in many fields of modern science. Various guests can be embedded into their nanometer-sized pores. Yet, directly influencing the diffusion dynamics of the incorporated guest molecules is not an easy task, even though a broad range of applications in diverse fields could profit from this ability. Organic functionalizations within the porous network of the silica material could be an efficient tool for realizing this aim. Hence, this study examines the effects of such functionalizations onto the diffusion dynamics of a terrylendiimide (TDI) dye on a single molecule level.

متن کاملClean chlorination of silica surfaces by a single-site substitution approach.
A chlorination method for the selective substitution of well-defined isolated silanol groups of the silica surface has been developed using the catalytic Appel reaction. Spectroscopic analysis, complemented by elemental microanalysis studies, reveals that a quantitative chlorination could be achieved with highly dehydroxylated silica materials that exclusively possess non-hydrogen bonded silano...
