Incorporation of porphyrins into mesopores of MCM-41

Adsorption behavior of natural anthocyanin dye on mesoporous silica

“…In this study, we try to immobilize the anthocyanin on mesoporous silicates. Since the mesoporous silicates are known to have an overwhelming large surface area, they expectedly have potential to adsorb enough amounts of various organic molecules including dye [9][10][11][12]. Among many type of mesoporous silicates, an HMS type one is characteristic of rather mild preparation condition that it can be prepared at room temperature in an aqueous solution using neutral alkyl amines as a structure-directing agent [13].…”
