A new thioether functionalized organic–inorganic mesoporous composite as a highly selective and capacious Hg2+ adsorbent†
Abstract
A new thioether functionalized organic–inorganic ordered mesoporous composite as a highly selective and capacious Hg2+ adsorbent was synthesized by one-step co-condensation of (1,4)-bis(triethoxysilyl)propane tetrasufide (BTESPTS, (CH3CH2O)3Si(CH2)3S–S–S–S(CH2)3Si(OCH2CH3)3) and
