Periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) thin films were synthesized by evaporation-induced self-assembly of 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane and an ionic Gemini 16-12-16 surfactant under acidic conditions. The films were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering, ellipsometric porosimetry, impedance measurements, and nanoindentation. The ease of control of the packing parameter in Gemini surfactants makes the PMO film templated by a Gemini an exciting first step towards small pore size PMO films with engineered mesostructures.

Pitting corrosion caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) significantly shortens the lifespan of metallic pipelines. Antibacterial coatings containing S-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers represent a promising method to mitigate SRB corrosion. However, the challenge of balancing rapid bactericide release with continuous antibacterial effect limits their practical application.

Purpose: Supersaturated formulations have been widely explored for improving the oral bioavailability of drugs by using mesoporous silica (MS) to generate supersaturation via molecular adsorption; however, this is followed by precipitation. Several precipitation inhibitors (PI) have been explored to prevent precipitation and maintain the drug in solution for a longer period. However, the combined approach of MS and PIs, the impact of MS and Silica, and the loading of high-molecular-weight neutral molecules such as Cyclosporine A (CsA) have not yet been explored.

This systematic study delves into the synthesis and characterization of robust bi-functional aminopropyl-tagged periodic mesoporous organosilica with a high loading of small imidazolium bridges in its framework (PrNH@R-PMO-IL, ∼2 mmol g of IL). The materials proved to be a reliable and enduring support for the immobilization of Ru species, demonstrating strong performance and excellent selectivity in the -bromination of various derivatives of 2-phenylpyridine compounds and other heterocycles, showcasing its effectiveness and robust nature. The synthesized materials were thoroughly characterized to determine their structural properties, such as pore size distribution, loading of organic groups, and surface area, using various analytical techniques.

Effective vaccination is crucial for intervening in the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with the continuous mutation of the SARS-CoV-2, existing vaccines including subunit vaccines cannot effectively prevent virus infections. Hence, there is an urgent need to enhance the immunogenicity of existing vaccines to induce a more potent and durable immune response.
