A novel well-ordered mesoporous organosilica specialized for highly selective recognition of Pb(ii) by host–guest interactions†
Abstract
The first example of well-ordered mesoporous organosilica with high selectivity towards Pb(II) based on host–guest interactions was developed. Due to the high functionalization of a specific macrocyclic host, DCH18C6, with easy accessibility, the mesoporous organosilica showed remarkable recognition and efficient
