A new structure, consisting of a shell cross-linked, 2 nm size siloxane nanocage contg. propylamine groups tethered to the interior face of the shell was synthesized, starting with micelles of the surfactant, (triethoxysilyl)propylcetyl- carbamate. After hydrolysis of the ethoxysilyl groups and condensation and capping of the silanols to form a cross-linked, one-atom-layer-thick siloxane shell, the carbamate was converted to amine, releasing the cetyl group from the structure and resulting in the desired spherical nanocage. |
