Materials science: Organosilica the conciliator
Mietek Jaroniec1
Abstract
Acidic and basic molecules are antagonistic, and keeping them in their place is no easy job — unless, it seems, one unites them under the tutelage of ordered, nanoporous materials known as organosilicas.
Silica (silicon dioxide, SiO2) is the basic component of sand and quartz, and the most abundant compound in Earth's crust. It can also be synthesized as an amorphous solid with nanoscale pores and an accessible internal surface of up to 1,000 square metres per gram (ref.
