Abstract
Template-directed co-condensation was used to synthesize organo-functionalized MCM-41 silica hexagonal mesophases containing binary combinations of covalently linked phenyl and amino, thiol or allyl moieties; similar methods were used to prepare a phenyl-functionalized organo-MCM-48 silica with cubic structure.
