A small amount of 4‐(trimethoxysilyl)phenyl groups was randomly introduced onto the 3,5‐dimethylphenylcarbamates of cellulose and amylose by a one‐pot method. The obtained derivatives were then effectively immobilized onto silica gel as chiral packing materials (CPMs) for high‐performance liquid chromatography through intermolecular polycondensation of the trimethoxysilylgroups. The effects of the
Abstract A series of organic D-π-A dyes, endowed with different silicon-based anchoring groups, has been prepared to assess the stability of such anchoring moieties on nanocrystalline TiO2 in dye-sensitizedsolarcells. Due to the difficulties encountered in finding a reliable and robust preparation protocol to obtain pure trialkoxysilanes, replacement with a silatrane moiety was evaluated. It was
