Abstract
Optically transparent and highly ordered mesoporous organosilica thin films functionalized with two different organic groups in various proportions were synthesized by templated-directed cocondensation of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and a mixture of two distinct and functional organotriethoxysilanes [NC(CH2)3Si(OEt)3 and O=P(OEt)2(CH2)3Si(OEt)3]. The mesostructured films obtained by evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) approach were deposited on glass or silicon substrates by dip-coating. They were characterized by Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-ray Scattering (GISAXS) and X-ray reflectivity. We showed that whatever the proportion in organic groups, only 2D hexagonal phase having p6m symmetry was observed for all the materials indicating a good compatibility between the organic groups. The bi-functionalization of the internal pores surface by the organotriethoxysilanes groups was clearly evidenced by using micro-Raman spectroscopy.
