Abstract

Conducting organic polymers inside mesoporous organosilica materials have been facilitated for electrically connecting the surface bound functional groups.

Highlights

  • Every functional material ful ls one task, as soon as it is exposed to suitable conditions

  • The nal Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) signal (Fig. 2a) at T 1⁄4 530 C is caused by the decomposition of the remaining organic parts in UKON-2a matching to the decomposition of pure UKON-2a (Fig. 3c)

  • transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of FeCl3@UKON2a recorded at a higher magni cation are shown in S1b.† They prove that the immobilization of FeCl3 does not corrupt the ordered mesostructure of UKON-2a

Summary

Introduction

Every functional material ful ls one task, as soon as it is exposed to suitable conditions. Stimuli-responsive materials (SRMs) belong to the large class of functional materials, they are distinct in the sense that certain properties can be activated, deactivated or at least modi ed depending on the prior application of a de ned trigger, physical or chemical in nature. This special feature rationalizes large interest in SRMs and has stimulated to designate those materials even as smart.[1,2,3,4,5,6]. We have presented UKON-materials with acidic groups, alkaline groups, ligand functionalities and even groups with chirality or special optical properties.[24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33]
