| Summary: | Periodic Mesoporous Organosilica (PMO) nanomaterials are envisioned to be one of the most prolific subjects of research in the next decade. Similar to mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN), PMO nanoparticles (NPs) prepared from organo-bridged alkoxysilanes have tunable mesopores that could be utilized for many applications such as gas and molecule adsorption, catalysis, drug and gene delivery, electronics, and sensing; but unlike MSN, the diversity in chemical nature of the pore walls of such nanomaterials is theoretically unlimited. Thus, we expect that PMO NPs will attract considerable interest over the next decade. In this review, we will present a comprehensive overview of the synthetic strategies for the preparation of nanoscaled PMO materials, and then describe their applications in catalysis and nanomedicine. The remarkable assets of the PMO structure are also detailed, and insights are provided for the preparation of more complex PMO nanoplatforms.

| Bibliography: | Dr Jean-Olivier Durand graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris in 1990 and obtained his PhD in organic chemistry with Prof. J. P. Genêt in 1993. He held a 20 month postdoctoral position with Prof. W. Oppolzer at the University of Geneva (Switzerland). After conducting two other postdoctoral studies in Rennes (Prof. Le Corre) and Paris (Dr M. Larchevêque), he was appointed as a CNRS researcher in 1996 at the Laboratoire de Chimie Moléculaire et Organisation du Solide, Institut Charles Gerhardt Montpellier. His research interests include the development of mesoporous silica nanoparticles for photodynamic therapy and drug delivery. Dr Xavier Cattoën was born in 1978 in Poitiers (France). He graduated from ENS Cachan and then completed his PhD in 2004 under the supervision of Prof. G. Bertrand and Dr D. Bourissou in Toulouse. After a post-doctoral stay at ICIQ in Tarragona (Spain) in M. A. Pericàs' group, he joined the CNRS in 2007 at ICG Montpellier, and then moved to the Néel Institute, Grenoble in 2013 where he has been developing structured hybrid materials for applications in biophotonics. Dr Niveen M. Khashab received her BSc degree from the American University of Beirut in 2002 and her PhD degree from the University of Florida, Gainesville in 2006 with Alan Katritzky. She conducted postdoctoral studies with Sir J. Fraser Stoddart in UCLA and Northwestern from 2007 to 2009. She joined King Abdullah University for Science and Technology in June 2009 as an Assistant Professor. Her major interests include hybrid materials, stimuli responsive systems, controlled release and delivery applications, and self-assembly. Dr Jonas Croissant is a post-doctoral researcher in King Abdullah University of Science and technology (Saudi Arabia) and UCLA. He received his Ph.D. degree at the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Montpellier (France) under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Olivier Durand and Michel Wong Chi Man. He was awarded the Balard Chemistry Foundation as well as the Société Chimique de France Languedoc Roussillon doctoral thesis awards. His research interests include the design and applications of organosilica nanocomposites. Dr Michel Wong Chi Man studied at the University of Montpellier (France) before completing an AvH Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Heidelberg (Germany). Currently he works as a CNRS Research Director at the ICGM institute (Institut Charles Gerhardt Montpellier) and also serves on the Board of the ISGS (International Sol-Gel Society) since 2011. He is an expert in organosilicon and hybrid silica chemistry and over the past two decades he developed pioneering work on bridged silsesquioxanes (BS) producing significant scientific advances in this field. He was the first to report right- and left-handed helical BS and self-structured BS on the nanoscale. He has also developed BS for application in several fields: catalysis, optics, and separation chemistry.
