• and urea during the one-pot synthesis enhances the luminescence of the generated C-dots. Moreover, the prepared C-dots have a high distribution of functional groups on their surface. In this work, C-dots proved to be a suitable nanomaterial for imaging of bacteria and exhibit potential for application

Additionally, the types of surface configurations that are feasible depend on the structure of the source material (e.g., the monomers

• diffraction signals is no longer observed proving that homogeneously distributed SO3H-groups on the inner pore walls of the benzene-PMO alter the SLD in a way that it no longer fits to the SLD of the condensed N2. Keywords: contrast matching; crystal-like periodicity; distribution of functional groups; PMO

• , often leads to an inhomogeneous distribution of functional groups [25][35], as seen also by the low decrease in mesopore volume. Benzene-PMO with a higher degree of functionalization can be achieved by additional modification at the benzene rings. Thus, a maximum SO3H loading with an IEC of 1.65 mmolH

• much more homogenous distribution of functional groups (Figure 5). For a grafting process such a fairly homogeneous introduction of the functional groups was not expected, because many authors have reported blocking effects in the functionalization of mesoporous oxides by grafting, due to almost
