Abstract
This communication describes in situ synthesis of thiocyanato-functionalized organosilica nanocapsules by a sol–gel reaction using 3-thiocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane as a precursor. Moreover, the nanocapsules are photoresponsive and burst under light irradiation, resulting in release of the encapsulated drug or dye.
