Scheme 1

Loading of daunorubicin into porous Si microparticles. The process involves functionalization of the hydrogen-terminated porous Si surface (Si-H) by microwave-assisted hydrosilylation of undecylenic acid (a), followed by EDC-mediated coupling of daunorubicin via the pendant amino group (b).
