Novel preparation method for multi-layered, tubular silica using an azacrown-appended cholesterol as template and metal-deposition into the interlayer space

Abstract

Novel multi-layered ‘rolled-paper-like’ silica was prepared by using the aggregate of an azacrown-appended cholesterol derivative as a template for the sol–gel polymerization of tetraethoxysilane: the metal bound to the azacrown moiety was thereby deposited in the interlayer space.
