| Abstract
| - Ordered mesoporous materials have been synthesized by co-condensation of bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane and N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AAPTS) under basicconditions with supramolecular templates of cetyltrimethylammonium chloride as structure-directing agents. Incorporation of the templates into the mesoscopic composite was followedby surfactant extraction to form periodic mesoporous organosilicas. These materials havebeen characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, nitrogen gas sorption, metal ion adsorption,elemental analysis, and high resolution thermogravimetric analysis. The effects of AAPTSconcentration in the initial solutions on the chemical and structural properties of the finalproducts are examined.
