the synthesis of advanced mesoporous materials has undergone an explosive growth. Moreover,
this type of materials gains growing success in a wide variety of applications. For these reasons and
with the example of the book of verified microporous zeolite syntheses in mind, it is obvious that there is
a growing need for verified synthesis methods of mesoporous materials. In this work, verified synthesis
methods have been compiled for a large number of selected relevant structured mesoporous silica and
titania materials as well as for some super-microporous materials (defined herein as materials with pore
diameters between 1.5 and 2 nm). In addition, for each material, a basic set of material characteristics
have been reported based on the most commonly applied characterization techniques (nitrogen sorption,
XRD, TEM, SEM, NMR, etc.) for mesoporous materials
