TL;DR: In this article, the structure change during a process from a layered sodium silicate, kanemite, to a noble mesoporous silica, folding sheet mesophorous materials (FSM), was studied by 29 Si-MAS-NMR and X-ray powder diffraction.

TL;DR: In this article, a method of transferring electrons with a light energy conversion material is described, which includes a silica porous material having silicon atoms chemically bonded with an organic group that is an electron donor in a skeleton thereof, and an electron acceptor disposed in at least one portion among a pore, the skeleton and the outer circumference of the porous material.

TL;DR: The unique vapoluminescence triggered by the unprecedented protodesilylation on exposure to protic solvent vapour at room temperature is attributable to BPy-PMO being a giant ligand and an effective vapour condenser and this hybrid system presents a new strategy for developing sensors using bulk powdery materials.

TL;DR: In this article, a bipyridine group in the periodic mesoporous organosilica with HAuCl4 forms an AuCl2-based complex, and its structure corresponds to a homogeneous complex, [AuCl2(bpy)]Cl.

TL;DR: The hot filtration test supported the nonleaching property of 2, thereby exhibiting good reusability without the loss of the product yields, and Spectroscopic analyses of 2 revealed that the porous structure of BPy-PMO-TMS remained almost unchanged through the reaction.
