In general, plant physiologists do not consider silicon an essential nutrient for soil-grown plants, although it is a major constituent of soil and is found in plants at macronutrient levels. This review discusses the deposition of silica predominantly in terrestrial plants and its positive effects on mechanical strength and resistance to disease, infestation, and adverse chemicals. It is argued that silicon should be included in experimental plant nutrient formulations.

The properties of dopant cages as determined by spectroscopic analyses of specific dopants are also discussed.

This paper thoroughly examines how the molecular shapes of covalent organosilanes, quaternary ammonium surfactants, and mixed surfactant arrays, and the use of various reaction conditions result in different silica-based mesostructured materials including MCM-41, MCM-48, MCM-50, SBA-1, SBA-2, and SBA-3. A room-temperature synthesis of the bicontinuous cubic phase, MCM-48, and a low-temperature, low-pH route to a large-pore, well-ordered MCM-41 phase are presented.

Gemini surfactants with two quaternary ammonium head groups, each attached to a hydrophobic tail and separated by a methylene chain of variable length, are used to make a new hexagonal cage-structured silicate (SBA-2) and MCM-48 at room temperature.

Neutral templating of mesoporous silicates by hydrogen bonding and sett-assembly between neutral surfactants and neutral silicate species results in thermal stability, small crystallite domain size, textural mesoporosity, and facile template recovery.
