Abstract

We have synthesized for the first time novel forms of germanium dioxide, templated by micellar structures, with hexagonal and/or lamellar spatial structure. We used an original method for detemplating the synthesized materials. We show that it is possible to use these as the basis for obtaining mesophase sorbents, including mesoporous molecular sieves (MMSs). We note that in each specific case, in synthesis of new nanoperiodic and mesoporous materials, including semiconductors, the determining factor is the correct choice of certain template/framework former systems that match with respect to chemical structure and reactivity.
