Silica modified, imprinting with

Markowitz et al. developed a different approach, again in an attempt to overcome some of the inherent difficulties that arise when imprinted bulk materials are used as catalysts [82], Here, the authors used a template-directed method to imprint an a-chymotrypsin TSA at the surface of silica nanoparticles, prepared with a number of organically modified silanes as functional monomers. Silica particle formation was performed in a microemulsion, where a mixture of a non-ionic surfactant and... 

Optical isomer separations that are carried out on a chiral layer produced from C-18 modified silica gel impregnated with a Cu(II) salt and an optically active enantiomerically pure hydroxyproline derivative, on a silica layer impregnated with a chiral selector such as brucine,on molecularly imprinted polymers of alpha-agonists,or on cellulose with mobile phases having added chiral selectors such as cyclodextrins have been reported mostly for amino acids and their derivatives. Mixtures of sorbents have been used to prepare layers with special selectivity properties. 

In addition it was found that molecules which only differ in one methyl group can be distinguished [48] and that there seemed to be a lower limit for a suitable template size in these systems since, e.g., dimethylaniline and diethylani-line exhibited the same adsorption power [37]. The most recent trend in imprinted silicas uses aluminium ions as dopants to introduce more specific interactions with the template. The silica gel is only surface-modified in the presence of e.g. phenanthrene by treatment with diazomethane. After removal of the template, the silica shows a stronger retention for all polycyclic aromatic compounds, but no particular affinity towards the template [52]. 

Basically, one can distinguish three kinds of CSPs, chiral polymers (Type 1), achiral matrices (mainly silica gel) modified with chiral moieties (Type 11), and imprinted materials (Fig. 6.3). 

Imprinting approaches using inert clusters to direct attachment of ligands at appropriate points on the silica matrix, followed by removal and replacement of the inert metal ions with more reactive metals present a possible alternative to direct immobilization of labile complexes. Such approaches are largely unexplored in sol-gel silica materials, generally because there are significant difficulties associated with synthesis of suitably modified (i.e., silylated)... 

Imprinted Polymer Layers on Silica. Wide pore silicas (mean pore diameter 500 and 1000 k) were surface-modified by 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate by formation of siloxane bon s. To such a silica, layers of approximately 50 - 100 A thickness of the usual monomeric mixture containing 1 were applied (56,57). The monomeric mixture was radically polymerized giving silicas with pores coated... 

Kitamura et al. examined the photodegradation of phenol by a silica-supported porphyrin derivative in polymer microchannel chips [15]. With an imprinting method, they fabricate dam-structured microchannel chips. The channels are filled with silica gel particles, which are modified with monopyridyltriphenylporphyrin (PyTPP). The Si-PyTPP particles act as photosensitizers (Scheme 16.9).
