The effect of cationic template on the adsorption of copper‐phthalocyanine‐3,4′,4′′,4′′′‐tetrasulfonic acid tetrasodium salt [Cu(tsPc) −4 ·4Na + ] in MCM‐41 and MCM‐48 mesoporous materials was investigated, using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the cationic template and tetraethyl‐orthosilicate as the silica source for synthesis of mesoporous materials. The properties of synthesized samples were characterized with XRD‐low angle and scanning electron microscopy. The as‐synthesized mesoporous samples were used for the separation of Cu(tsPc) −4 ·4Na + from aqueous solution, which showed very high adsorption capacity for it.
