Abstract

Real-time in situ energy dispersive synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data provides evidence for the formation of an intermediate lamellar silica-surfactant intercalate during the synthesis of the hexagonal mesophase derived from the layered polysilicate kanemite, whereas no intermediate phases are observed during the formation of the silica-surfactant mesophase that leads to the mesoporous material MCM-41.
