Mesoporous hybrid materials containing functional organic groups inside both the framework and the channel poresElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: 29Si CP MAS NMR spectrum of a representative hybrid material. See http://www.rsc.org/suppdata/cc/b2/b202179j/

Mesoporous hybrid materials containing cyclam moieties inside the framework have been obtained by using a neutral templating route; these materials with large pores and narrow pore size distribution are shown to be particularly suitable for grafting functional organic groups inside the channel pores giving rise to bifunctional hybrid materials.
