[a] All particle syntheses were performed using 100 mg of precursor; the procedure corresponds to the synthesis presented in the Experimental Section. [b] Template used in the particle synthesis for generating the pore system. [c] Hydrophobic additive for enlargement of the pore diameter; TMB is 1,3,5‐trimethylbenzene, TIB is 1,3,5 triisopropylbenzene. [d] Amount of CTAB in the reaction solution for the condensation reaction. [e] T is the reaction temperature during condensation reaction [f] V p is the pore volume calculated by the NLDFT method. [g] A p is the BET surface area. [h] d p is the pore diameter determined by the NLDFT‐method. [i] Particle diameter determined from TEM images.
