NOVELTY - Preparing ordered mesoporous materials with functional groups attached to inner surfaces of the pores, comprises: forming a solution by dissolving a template comprising organic molecules forming Hoogsten-bonded supramolecular structures formed through hydrogen bonding and n-n interactions; dissolving an additive substance having a primary role of assembling molecular groups in the template; mixing the solution with at least one inorganic precursor; and solidifying the solution by a process, where hydrolysis and condensation of the inorganic precursor can occur.    USE - The method is useful for making ordered mesoporous materials, which are: useful as controlled drug delivery device for active pharmaceutical products; useful for chiral separation of optical isomers; useful as a catalyst with or without the addition of active catalytic species such as metal oxides nanoparticles within or without its internal pore space; useful for capturing within its pore space greenhouse gases as exemplified by carbon dioxide in order to encapsulate or separate the gases; useful for water purification through the filtration of salts and contaminants; useful as a photocathode in a dye-sensitized solar cell when the material comprises at least 10% nickel oxide and/or titanium oxide; useful for genetic repair extract in combination with zinc; and useful as an active photocatalyst (when the material comprises at least 10% of titanium oxide). The material is useful to separate/encapsulate/bind proteins or other molecules that may enter the pore space within a chromatography application. The template is useful as a fluorescent marker or chromophore in immunochemistry labeling applications. The material is useful as photocurrent switching and may be used in molecular optoelectronic devices (all claimed). The material is useful as controlled delivery of folic acid or molecules carried by folic acid.    ADVANTAGE - The method provides ordered mesoporous structures with highly ordered mesopores with functionalized groups attached to the internal surface and defined morphologies. The method is simple to produce ordered mesoporous materials in the absence of amphiphilic molecules of the group comprising anionic, cationic, zwitterionic or polymeric surfactants, or any other type of surfactant molecule.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a mesoporous material manufactured, where the template comprises a drug delivery agent for drug molecules capable of crossing membrane barriers of cells, and capable of cellular targeting of active pharmaceutical products.
