Functionalization of SBA-15 mesoporous silica by Cu-phosphonate units: Probing of synthesis route

The present study is devoted to mesoporous silica SBA-15 containing propyl-copper phosphonate units. The species were investigated to confirm of synthesis procedure correctness by the micro-Raman technique combined with DFT numerical simulations. Complementary research was carried out to test the structure of mesoporous samples.313
