Long and lntermedlate chalns of cyanoalkyl llgands were attached to porous sllica-base materlal by uslng monoreactive chemlstry, and short cyanoalkyl chains were attached by using mona-, dl-, and trlreactlve chemistry. Subsequently, the mlcrochemlcal structures of these materlals were studied with Fourier transform Infrared (FT-IR) technlques. In a nonpolar llquld (Le., hexane) Infrared spectra for the nltrlle band were extremely broad ...
