The high hydroxyl content of mesoporous silicates makes it possible to use them as anchors
for the attachment of transition-metal species. In the present study, three different samples …

Pure silica MCM-48 is prepared by a novel synthesis method, using the [C18H37N+ (CH3)
2−(CH2) 12− N+ (CH3) 2C18H37]⊙ 2Br-surfactant, abbreviated as GEMINI 18-12-18. The …

Highly crystalline and porous vanadium-incorporated MCM-48 materials were prepared
using gemini surfactants as structure-directing agents and vanadyl sulfate pentahydrate as …

The use of dimethyldichlorosilane as a coupling agent for the grafting of VO x structures on
the MCM-48 surface produces a material that is simultaneously hydrophobic (immiscible …

Vanadium-containing MCM-41 materials were prepared by (i) in situ incorporation of V
during hydrothermal synthesis (denoted as V–MCM-41-syn),(ii) chemical vapour deposition …

The use of organic molecules as templates for the synthesis of zeolites and molecular
sieves* 1 as well as simple porous oxides has a long history. Although micellar and reverse …

There have been advances in mesoporous structures in extending the composition to
include transition metal oxide analogs of MCM-41, in understanding the mechanism of …

First-row transition metal containing silicalite zeolites are important oxidation catalysts.
Special attention has been devoted to develop new systems with an uniform pore size …

The 30 cationic {MoV2O4 (acetate)}+ units linking 12 negatively charged pentagonal
“ligands,”{(MoVI) MoVI5O21 (H2O) 6} 6–of the porous metal-oxide capsule,[{MoVI6O21 …

The ordered mesoporous silica MCM-41 was covalently grafted with (3-chloropropyl)
trimethoxysilane. Chloro substitution by the anion [4-CH2-4′-Me-2, 2′-bipyridine]− gave a …
