“…[43] The elemental analysis data support the DRIFT results regarding a successful functionalization, because the sulfur amount in the KIT-6-SO 3 H and SBA-15-SO 3 H is 4.66 and 3.36%, respectively, and could be attributed to sulfonic acid groups in the silica (complete results of the elemental analysis, see Table S1, Supporting Information). 2018, 2, 1700170 [20,21,23,30] www.advsustainsys.com The sulfur amount in the samples is equal to 1.45 mmol g −1 (KIT-6-SO 3 H) and 1.04 mmol g −1 (SBA-15-SO 3 H), while the sulfur content in postsynthetically grafted samples is only 0.39 mmol g −1 (grafted KIT-6-SO 3 H) and 0.62 mmol g −1 (grafted SBA-15-SO 3 H).…”
