Aminopropyl-functionalized ethane-bridged periodic mesoporous organosilica spheres: preparation and application in liquid chromatography

A synthetic approach for synthesizing spherical aminopropyl-functionalized ethane-bridged periodic mesoporous organosilicas (APEPMOs) is reported. The mesoporous material was prepared by a one-step co-condensation of 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTSE) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) using cetyltrimethylammonium chlorine (C(18)TACl) as a template with the aid of a co-solvent (methanol) in basic medium. The APEPMOs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen sorption measurement, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and elemental analysis. It was shown that this material exhibited spherical morphology, ordered cubic mesostructure and good mechanical strength. The APEPMOs were tested as a potential stationary phase for liquid chromatography (LC) because the column exhibited reduced back pressure. Moreover, they exhibited good chemical stability in basic mobile phase, which can be ascribed to the ethane groups in the mesoporous framework.     

Self-assembled highly ordered ethane-bridged periodic mesoporous organosilica and its application in HPLC

Monodisperse spherical periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) with ethane integrated in the framework were synthesized and their application as stationary phase for chromatographic separation is demonstrated. The ethane-PMOs were prepared by condensation of 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTSE) in basic condition using octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (C(18)TMACl) as template and ethanol as co-solvent. The morphology and mesoporous structure of ethane-PMOs were controlled under different concentrations of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and EtOH. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen sorption measurement, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and elemental analysis showed that ethane-PMOs have spherical morphology, uniform particle distribution, highly ordered pore structure, high surface area and narrow pore-size distribution. The column packed with these materials exhibits good permeability, high chemical stability and good selectivity of mixtures of aromatic hydrocarbons in normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Facile synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbons from F108/resorcinol-formaldehyde composites obtained in basic media

Highly ordered mesoporous carbon with cubic Im3m symmetry has been synthesized successfully via a direct carbonization of self-assembled F108 (EO(132)PO(50)EO(132)) and resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) composites obtained in a basic medium of nonaqueous solution.     

Investigation of the morphology of the mesoporous SBA-16 and SBA-15 materials

Mesoporous SBA-16 and SBA-15 were studied in order to control their possible morphologies. SBA-16 is synthesized using a silicon source (tetraethoxysilane, TEOS) and a ternary system consisting of surfactant F127 (EO106PO70EO106), water, and butanol. The same ternary system, with higher butanol concentration, is used to form SBA-15 material as well. An increase of the TEOS concentration results in a morphology shift of SBA-16 from micron-sized spheres, over randomly shaped aggregated particles, to macrospheres with a size of 15 mm. An identical increase in TEOS concentration also results in the formation of SBA-15 macrospheres, which can be controlled in size. Micron-sized spheres of SBA-15 were formed using a quaternary system of surfactant P123 (EO20PO70EO20), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), ethanol, and water. All mesoporous silica materials were characterized using SEM, XRD, and N2 sorption techniques.     

Effects of salts and ethanol on the population and morphology of triblock copolymer micelles in solution

The morphological changes of micelles composed of triblock copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide (EO20PO70EO20) in the presence of different inorganic salts and ethanol have been investigated using dynamic light scattering (DLS), rheometry, and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The following salts were studied: KF, KCl, KI, LiCl, and CsCl. In the presence of KF, KCl, and CsCl, spherical and wormlike micelles coexist. LiCl and KI have little influence on the morphology of the micelles, whereas KF has the most pronounced effect. In agreement with the well-known Hoffmeister anion salt series, F- has the strongest effect of the three anions studied (F-, Cl-, I-). In contrast, the effectiveness of the cation type does not follow the original Hoffmeister cation series. The addition of ethanol to the KCl micellar solutions leads to the formation of more or longer wormlike micelles, which start to interact at certain copolymer concentrations depending on the volume fraction of ethanol added. Both the dilute and the semidilute regimes of the wormlike micelles were studied. The length of the micelles reaches a maximum value at around 8-10 vol % ethanol, after which it decreases again. At higher ethanol concentrations (18 vol %), spherical micelles are formed. Conclusions from this study enhance our understanding of the role played by ethanol and salts in the formation of micelle-templated mesoporous materials, such as SBA-15.     

Periodic mesoporous organosilicas with multiple bridging groups and spherical morphology

Bi- and trifunctional periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) with phenylene, thiophene, and ethane bridging groups were synthesized using 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTEE), 1,4-bis(triethoxysilyl)benzene (BTEB), and 2,5-bis(triethoxysilyl)thiophene (BTET) organosilica precursors and a poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(D,L-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PLGA-PEO) triblock copolymer template under low acidic conditions. The PMO samples with different concentrations of organic bridging groups were obtained in the form of spherical particles having average diameters of 2-3 mum and 2D hexagonal (p6m) mesostructure with pore diameters of 7.3-8.4 nm. The particle morphology and chemistry of pore walls were tailored using different mixtures of organosilica precursors. Adsorption and structural properties of the aforementioned PMOs have been studied by nitrogen adsorption and small-angle X-ray scattering, whereas their framework chemistry was quantitatively analyzed by solid-state 13C and 29Si MAS NMR.     

Quinine Derivative Bonded the Hybrid Mesoporous Silicas Chiral Stationary Phase: Preparation and Application in Liquid Chromatography

A novel chiral stationary phase (QN‐APEPMOs) was synthesized by immobilizing quinine derivative (QN) onto spherical ammoniapropyl‐functionalized ethane‐bridged periodic mesoporous organosilicas (APEPMOs). The mesoporous material was prepared by a one‐step co‐condensation of 1,2‐bis (triethoxysilyl) ethane (BTSE) and 3‐ammoniapropyl triethoxysilane (KH‐550) using cetyltrimethyl‐ammoniumchlorine (C₁₈TACl) as a template with the aid of ethanol (co‐solvent) in basic medium. And O‐9‐(tert‐butyl carbamoyl) quinine derivative was immobilized on APEPMOs particles through the vinylic double bond. All of the products were characterized. The results showed that APEPMOs were perfect substrates for chiral stationary phase (CSP) and quinine moieties have been successfully immobilized onto the silica gel. To evaluate the chiral discrimination ability of the synthesized CSP, some analytes have been investigated on QN‐APEPMOs in high performance liquid chromatography (RP‐HPLC) in reversed phase. Three acidic compounds were baseline separated. The results demonstrated that QN‐APEPMOs had high selectivity for acidic compounds such as: carboxylic and sulfonic acids. And the reproducibility of the chiral column was good, while the stability was not very good.     

Cubic Ia3d large mesoporous silica: synthesis and replication to platinum nanowires,carbon nanorods and carbon nanotubes

Simplified synthesis of micropore-free mesoporous silica,SBA-15, under microwave-hydrothermal conditions

Synthesis of micropore-free hydrothermally stable mesoporous silica SBA-15 has been accomplished by templating a silica precursor (sodium silicate/tetraethylorthosilicate) with pluroni123 copolymer (EO20PO70EO20; M.W. 5,800) in the presence of cosolvent (ethanol) using a minimum salt (sodium chloride) content, under microwave-hydrothermal conditions at 373 K in 120 mins.     

Order and orientation control of mesoporous silica films on conducting gold substrates formed by dip-coating and self-assembly: a grazing angle of incidence small-angle X-ray scattering and field emission scanning electron microscopy study

Grazing-angle of incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) and high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy have been used to characterize the mesophase symmetry, orientation, and long-range order in PEO20-PPO70-PEO20 (Pluronic P123) templated mesoporous silica thin films on conducting gold substrates as a function of silica-to-ethylene oxide (Si/EO) block ratio and relative humidity (RH). The films are formed by dip-coating followed by evaporation-induced self-assembly under tightly controlled RH. The general evolution of the mesophase follows the trends that are expected based on shape factors due to swelling of the PEO block. However, changes in orientation of the nanostructure relative to the substrate and the degree of long-range order are found to depend on Si/EO ratio. These effects are likely due to the dynamics of evaporation and self-assembly. Generally, at Si/EO ratios lower than 3.29, the films contained regions where the nanostructure was not oriented relative to the plane of the substrate. However, for Si/EO ratios greater than 3.62, conditions were found where the nanostructure of the film was highly oriented relative to the plane of the substrate. This is true over the range of RH studied, independent of the nanostructure symmetry. For low Si/EO ratios at the highest RH levels, the films were composed of a mixture of spherical and cylindrical pores. At high Si/EO ratios and high RH levels, the films had a highly oriented R-3m nanostructure but displayed streaking perpendicular to the substrate in the Bragg spots on GISAXS patterns. This streaking is interpreted as faulting along planes parallel to the substrate.     

A novel chiral mesoporous binaphthyl-silicas: Preparation, characterization, and application in HPLC

Mesoporous organosilicas with both R-(+)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine and ethane moieties bridging in the framework were synthesized. This mesoporous material was prepared via the one-step co-condensation of N,N'-bis-[(triethoxysilyl)propyl]-(R)-bis-(ureido)-binaphthyl (Si-DABN) with 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTSE) using octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (C(18) TMACl) as a structural directing agent with the aid of a co-solvent (ethanol) in basic medium. The morphology of these bifunctionalized mesoporous organosilicas is sensitive to the Si-DABN mole fraction and the base concentration. And the mesostructure becomes less ordered as the mole fraction of Si-DABN in the initial mixture increases from 10 to 40%. Elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer indicate that the binaphthyl diamine was successfully introduced to the mesoporous organosilicas. Acidic conditions are more suitable than basic ones for the hydrolysis and condensation of (R)-2,2'-dicyanomethoxy-6,6'-di[(2-triethoxysilyl)ethenyl]-1,1'-binaphthyl, a chiral silane precursors with a short silane side chain on the binaphthyl group. A column packed with these bifunctionalized mesoporous organosilica spheres exhibits greater selectivity for R/S-1,1'-bi-2,2'-naphthol than one packed with commercial SiO(2) grafted with N,N'-bis-[(triethoxysilyl)propyl]-(R)-bis-(ureido)-binaphthyl. Binaphthol and bromosubstituted binaphthol were fully resolved, but two ether derivatives were only partially enantioseparated and the other three ester derivatives were no fully resolved on the column via co-condensation method.     

新型介孔二氧化硅囊泡结构的调变

Phase transformation of the periodic mesoporous organosilicas assisted by organotrialkoxysilane

A phase transformation of mesoporous organosilicas from 2D-hexagonal P6mm to cubic Pm3n phase can be induced by the organotrialkoxysilane with hydrophilic pendant group with the aid of methanol during the co-condensation of 1,2-bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane (BTME) and (EtO)(3)Si-R (R = L-prolinamide, trans-(1R,2R)-diaminocyclohexane, and gamma-aminopropyl) using the cationic surfactant, octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (C(18)TMACl), as template in basic medium. Under similar synthesis conditions, no cubic Pm3n phase could be formed in the absence of (EtO)(3)Si-R. Depending on the type of the pendant group, different amounts of methanol were needed for the formation of the cubic Pm3n phase. N-[(triethoxysilyl)propyl]-L-prolinamide (M(L-Pro)) could easily induce the phase changing from 2D-hexagonal P6mm to cubic Pm3n phase probably because L-proline could result in a decreasing of the surfactant packing factor (g) through formation of large architecture on the outer boundary of the surfactant micelles. The organotrialkoxysilane can also help the formation of spherical morphology of the resultant materials.     

Mechanism of mesoporous silica formation. A time-resolved NMR and TEM study of silica-block copolymer aggregation

The dynamics of the synthesis of a mesoporous silica material SBA-15 is followed using time-resolved in situ 1H NMR and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Block copolymer-silica particles of two-dimensional hexagonal symmetry evolve from an initially micellar solution. The synthesis was carried out with the block copolymer Pluronic P123 (EO20-PO70-EO20) at 35 degrees C and using tetramethyl orthosilicate as the silica precursor. By using TEM, we can image different stages during the evolution of the synthesis. Flocs of spherical micelles held together by the polymerizing silica are observed prior to precipitation. With time, the structure of these flocs evolves and the transition from spherical to cylindrical hexagonally packed micelles can be monitored. The signal from the methyl protons of the PO part was recorded with 1H NMR. One observes a continuous increase in the signal width but with distinct changes in the spectral characteristics occurring in narrow time intervals. The spectral changes can be attributed to structural changes of the self-assembled aggregates. The 1H NMR and TEM studies reveal the same mechanism of formation. It is concluded that the aggregation is caused by a micelle-micelle attraction induced by oligomeric/polymeric silica that adsorbs to the EO palisade layer of the micelles and has the ability to bridge to another micelle. This adsorption also favors the formation of cylindrical aggregates relative to spherical micelles. The sequence of NMR and TEM observations can then be interpreted as the following sequence of events: (i) silicate adsorption on globular micelles possibly accompanied with some aggregate growth, (ii) the association of these globular micelles into flocs, (iii) the precipitation of these flocs, and (iv) micelle-micelle coalescence generating (semi)infinite cylinders that form the two-dimensional hexagonal packing.     

Morphological and structural evolution of mesoporous silicas in a mild buffer solution and lysozyme adsorption

Mesoporous silicas with various morphologies and structures were synthesized with the aid of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (TMP) in the presence of nonionic surfactant P123 [(EO)20(PO)70(EO)20] as a structure-directing agent under mild reaction conditions (HAc-NaAc buffer solution, pH 4.4). The ropelike particles formed by end-to-end interconnected nanorods were obtained at a TMP/P123 weight ratio of 0.5. It is noteworthy to mention that the mesoporous nanorods have channels running parallel to the short axis. The silica hollow spheres can be obtained at a higher TMP/P123 weight ratio because of the fusion of the primary nanorods around the interface of the O/W emulsion. Initial synthesis temperatures of 15, 25, and 40 degrees C can lead to mesoporous silicas with highly ordered 2D hexagonal mesostructure, vesicular mesostructure, and mesostructured cellular foams (MCF), respectively. The mesoporous silicas exhibit high adsorption capacity (up to 536 mg g(-1)) and very rapid (<5 min to reach equilibrium) lysozyme immobilization. More importantly, it is revealed that mesoporous silica hollow spheres with rugged surfaces can greatly accelerate the adsorption rate of the enzyme during the adsorption process.     

Mixed micelles of a PEO-PPO-PEO triblock copolymer (P123) and a nonionic surfactant (C12EO6) in water. a dynamic and static light scattering study

The present article reports on static and dynamic light scattering (SLS and DLS) studies of aqueous solutions of the nonionic surfactant C12EO6 and the poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer EO20PO68EO20 (P123) at temperatures between 25 and 45 degrees C. In water, P123 self-assembles into spherical micelles with a hydrodynamic radius of 10 nm, and at 40 degrees C, these micelles consist of 131 unimers. Addition of C12EO6 leads to an association of the surfactant molecules to the P123 micelles and mixed micelles are formed. The size and structure of the mixed micelles as well as interparticle interactions were studied by varying the surfactant-to-copolymer (C12EO6/P123) molar ratio. The novelty of this study consists of a composition-induced structural change of the mixed micelles at constant temperature. They gradually change from being spherical to polymer-like with increasing C12EO6 content. At low C12EO6/P123 molar ratios (below 12), the SLS measurements showed that the molar mass of the mixed micelles decreases with an increasing amount of C12EO6 in the micelles for all investigated temperatures. In this regime, the mixed micelles are spherical and the DLS measurements revealed a decrease in the hydrodynamic radius of the mixed micelles. An exception was found for C12EO6/P123 molar ratios between 2 and 3, where the mixed micelles become rodlike at 40 degrees C. This was the subject of a previous study and has hence not been investigated here. At high molar ratios (48 and above), the polymer-like micelles present a concentration-induced growth, similar to that observed in the pure C12EO6/water system.     

PW_(11)/SBA-15介孔杂化材料的直接合成与表征

采用三嵌段共聚物EO20PO70EO20(P123)为模板剂,正硅酸乙酯(TEOS)和缺位Keggin型多金属氧酸盐Na7PW11O39(PW11)为无机前驱体,由共缩合法一步合成了PW11/SBA-15介孔杂化材料.通过红外(IR)光谱、紫外-可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis/DRS)、X射线衍射(XRD)、低温N2吸附、透射电子显微镜(TEM)等手段对杂化材料和合成过程进行了表征.结果表明:杂化材料中不仅多金属氧酸盐的Keggin单元保留完整,且共价键联于介孔孔道内部,而且样品基本具有规整有序的六方介孔结构.TEOS预水解时间的长短对有序结构的构筑有明显影响,随预水解时间延长,样品的介观有序性增加.这是因为多金属氧酸盐对模板剂P123有盐析作用,其作用大小与多金属氧酸盐前驱物的溶解度有关.
