Abstract An bis (2-aminoethyl)-2-(9-fluorenyl) malonamide as fluorophore ligand was immobilized onto mesoporous silica type SBA-15 via post synthesis grafting. The obtained material was characterized by small and wide angle X-ray diffraction, N 2 adsorption– desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis that indicate the successful immobilization of the ligand on the ...
