Abstract
We report the preparation of a new class of lamellar hybrid organic–inorganic materials obtained by self-assembly of bridged organosilica precursors containing long alkylene chains during the sol–gel process. The self-assembly is induced by lipophilic van der Waals interactions. The introduction of –SS– bonds in the core of the alkylene chains permitted the functionalisation of lamellar materials, which were subsequently transformed into SH and –SO3H groups. This methodology was extended to the formation of lamellar hybrid materials containing amino groups thanks to CO2 as bridging groups as well as the formation of lamellar hybrid materials containing carboxylic groups. In this last case, the hydrolysis and polycondensation of cyanoalkyltrialkoxysilanes permitted the one pot synthesis of lamellar hybrid materials thanks to in situ hydrogen bonds formation between carboxylic acids groups. All these functional lamellar materials exhibit a very high chelating capability towards transition metal and lanthanide ions.
