| Abstract
| - SOMC@PMS utilizing metal organic precursors such as metal alkyls, (silyl)amides, and alkoxides gives access to unique nanostructured organic−inorganic composite materials. Their synthesis and application in selective (catalytic) organic transformations and material science is described, emphasizing intrinsic reactivity pattern due to surface and pore confinement.
- Periodic mesoporous silicas (PMSs) give enormous stimulus to the field of nanostructuredorganic−inorganic composite materials, opening new horizons for selective organic transformations and material science. This article outlines advanced synthetic concepts of theirintraporous surface organometallic chemistry involving alkyl, (silyl)amide, and alkoxidereagents. Conclusive methods of characterization, elaborating the importance of spectroscopicprobe ligands and nitrogen physisorption, reinforce the excellent capacity of PMS materialsas a model support of, for example, amorphous silica. Particular emphasis is placed on tailor-made hybrid materials, highlighting unexpected reaction behavior due to surface and poreconfinement. Accordingly, surface silylation as an efficient method for designing themicroenvironment is surveyed in detail.
