In this communication, we demonstrate our recent finding that iron-substituted SBA-15 (Fe-SBA-15) microparticles possess intrinsic peroxidase-like activity and can catalyze the oxidation of peroxidase substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H(2)O(2) to develop a blue color in aqueous solution, leading to a simple approach towards colorimetric detection of H(2)O(2) with a linear detect...

mesoporous silica nanoparticles with unique structure (sba-15) were synthesized and modified by [3-(2-aminoethylamino) propyl] trimethoxysilane (aeaptms). the synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by tga, n­2­ adsorption, sem, ftir, chn elemental analysis. the total weight loss for the modified sba-15 is 15.2% and thermal analysis revealed that 1.5 mmol aeaptms/1g sba-15 had been grafted...

Surface functionalization of SBA-15 followed by its reaction with Cu(OAc)(2) has been carried out to develop a new Cu-grafted functionalized mesoporous material, which catalyzes one-pot three component coupling of different aryl halides with thiourea and benzyl bromide in aqueous medium to produce aryl thioethers in very good yields (80-88%).

SBA-15 grafted with N-(4-(trimethylsilyl) butyl)-9H-fluorene-9-amine was synthesized by a simplestrategy and applied to removal of Acid Red 33 and Acid Black 194 from aqueous solutions. SBA-15 was synthesized and Functionalized according to procedure in the literature. Fluorenefunctionalized SBA-15 was showed the BET surface area 200 m2g-1 and pore diameter 4.2 nm,based on adsorption-desorption...

A new bis(indenyl)zirconocene bearing a pendant Si-Cl anchor has been grafted onto MCM-41, SBA-15, MCM-48 and a disordered mesoporous silica for the polymerisation of ethylene and propylene, producing polymers with very high molecular weights, low polydispersities and, in the case of polypropylene, higher levels of isotacticity than obtainable with analogous homogeneous systems.

A new method for the preparation of well-defined functionalized mesoporous SBA-15 has been developed by a one-step co-condensation method using trimethallylsilanes as organosilane sources. This new method enables the incorporation of various bulky organic functional groups with long alkyl chain tethers into the mesoporous silica network.

Both zeolite A/L and SBA-15 have been used to assemble novel photofunctional multi-component lanthanide hybrid materials. Microporous zeolites A/L are first functionalized by embedding lanthanide or zinc complexes (TTA = thenoyltrifluoroacetone, TAA = trifluoroacetone, bipy = 2,2'-bipyridyl) into the pores of zeolite A/L, and then the surface of functionalized zeolite A/L is modified via covale...

Divalent metal silylamide complexes of zinc and cobalt and trivalent aluminium isopropoxide were successfully grafted onto large-pore hexagonal channel-like SBA-15 and cubic MCM-48-like periodic mesoporous silica (PMS) KIT-6, to afford hybrid materials Zn[N(SiMe3)2]2@SBA-15, Co[N(SiMe3)2]2(thf)@SBA-15/KIT-6 and {Al(OCHMe2)3}@SBA-15 with well-defined surface species (≡SiO)2M(thf)x, ≡SiOM[N(SiMe3...

The adsorption of U(VI) from natural mine water (i.e. containing Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ as major cations, and Cl?, SO42? HCO3? anions) was investigated in dynamic mode using packed column high-capacity sorbents modified by NH2 organic moieties. use columns effective removing trace amounts species water. capacity obtained with amine functionalized SBA-15, a mesostructured silica, compared those com...
