Multifunctional hybrid materials with applications in gas sensing or dye removal from wastewaters were obtained by incorporation into silica matrices of either Pt(II)-5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-allyloxy-phenyl)-porphyrin (PtTAOPP) or platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) alone or accompanied by 5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-allyloxy-phenyl)-porphyrin (TAOPP). The tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS)-based silica matrices were obtained by using the sol-gel method performed in two step acid-base catalysis. Optical, structural and morphological properties of the hybrid materials were determined and compared by UV-vis, fluorescence and FT-IR spectroscopy techniques, by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. PtTAOPP-silica hybrid was the most efficient material both for CO 2 adsorption (0.025 mol/g) and for methylene blue adsorption (7.26 mg/g) from wastewaters. These results were expected due to both the ink-bottle mesopores having large necks that exist in this hybrid material and to the presence of the porphyrin moiety that facilitates chemical interactions with either CO 2 gas or the dye molecule. Kinetic studies concerning the mechanism of dye adsorption demonstrated a second order kinetic model, thus it might be attributed to both physical and chemical processes.
