The Preparation, Solution and Mesophase Behaviour of Surfactant Complexes of Cobalt(III)

“…Using approaches of this type, Dag and co‐workers have shown how metal particles might be included in porous silicas,19 while we have shown that highly active hydrogenation20 and oxidation21 catalysts can be prepared starting from surfactant derivatives of the tris (2,2′‐bipyridine)ruthenium(II) cation 22. In our work, we form the hexagonal H 1 phase of the metallosurfactant and condense Si(OMe) 4 around it to form a solid gel.…”

A systematic study of the formation of mesostructured silica using surfactant ruthenium complexes in high- and low-concentration regimes

“…The calcination temperatures were chosen based on the previously reported high catalytic activity of I-19 templated silica calcined at 400 C. 8,9 No significant difference in mass loss was reported on increasing the calcination temperature from 400 to 500 C, 8 however work is in progress to study in greater detail the effect of calcination temperature on the extent of I-19 surfactant removal.…”

Designed Meso‐macroporous Silica Framework Impregnated with Copper Oxide Nanoparticles for Enhanced Catalytic Performance

“…employed metallosurfactant (MS) molecules as the metal ion source for the synthesis of metal oxide (MO) NPs as well as an amphiphilic template for the synthesis of porous silica material. With an additional impregnation of MO NPs into the meso‐macroporous silica matrix, various other application fields have come forth, which can be explored from here on, including heterogeneous catalysis, drug delivery, adsorption, sensing, and many more . The MO NPs are embedded into the meso‐macroporous silica framework with not only the objective of attaining better stability than free MO NPs but also to ameliorate their catalytic activity (such as reaction rate) in a remarkable manner .…”
