Titania-incorporated organosilica-mesostructures (Ti-MO) were synthesized using tris [3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]isocyanurate, tetraethylorthosilicate as silica precursors, and titanium isopropoxide as the titanium precursor via a co-condensation method in the presence of the triblock copolymer, Pluronic P123. The triblock copolymer was completely removed by extraction with a 95% ethanol solution, followed by a thermal treatment at 350 °C under flowing nitrogen without decomposing isocyanurate bridging groups. The molar ratio of titanium to silica in the mesostructures was gradually changed by increasing the amount of tetraethylorthosilicate in the initial reaction mixture. Our synthesis strategy also allowed us to tailor both adsorption and structural properties, including a well-developed specific surface area, high microporosity, and large pore volume. A portion of the samples was thermally treated at 600 °C to remove both the block copolymer and bridging groups. The thermal treatment at 600 °C was used to convert the amorphous titania into a crystalline anatase form. The Ti-MO materials were characterized using a N2 adsorption desorption analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). CO2 adsorption studies were also conducted to determine the basicity of the Ti-MO materials. The effect of the surface properties on the CO2 sorption was also identified.

AbstractWe present results on new periodic mesoporous organosilicas synthesized with 1,4-bis(triethoxysilyl)benzene (BTEB), 1,2-bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane (BTME) and bis[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]amine (BTMPA). The materials show high inner surfaces up to 830 m2/g and pore diameters in the range of 2.7 to 3.7 nm depending on the structure directing agent used. In case of BTEB as precursor and triblock copolymer Pluronic P123 as structure directing agent exceptional thick pore walls were obtained (7.2 nm). Characterization was carried out by P-XRD, nitrogen physisorption analysis, thermoanalytical methods and IR spectroscopy.

The triblock copolymer of the type (PEO)20–(PPO)70–(PEO)20 (P123) forms a mixed supramolecular aggregate with different bile salts, sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) and sodium taurocholate (NaTC), having different hydrophobicity.
