Popis: A novel bifunctional mesoporous organosilica, PEG-functionalized bis-prolinium chloride bridged mesoporous organosilica (BPBMO) was synthesized by reacting the precursor, PEG-functionalized bis-prolinium chloride bridged organosilane (BPRIL) with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in the presence of surfactant. The chemical conformation of BPBMO was investigated by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimentric analysis (TGA), 13C, and 29Si cross-polarization/magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR techniques. The characterization represents PEG-linked-prolinium (−N+Cl–) and carboxyl (−COOH) entities, constructing the dicationic framework through siloxane (Si–O–Si) linkages. The pore-wall distribution and the periodicity of BPBMO retained during the synthesis were examined by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BET-BJH), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The results revealed BPBMO as a spherical shaped solid (50–100 nm) having mesopo...
