In this account, reviewing our own work, three-sets of surface-modified SBA-15 materials have been investigated. The first-set of materials consists of SBA-15 modified with organo-acidic (propyl thiol and propyl sulfonic acid) and basic (propyl amine and propyl adenine) moieties. The second-set of materials was prepared by grafting Mn complexes to the organo-functionalized SBA-15. The third-set composes of nanocrystalline metal oxides supported on SBA-15. All these catalysts have been characterized by structural and spectroscopic techniques. Catalytic activities of the first-set of solid materials have been investigated in acid/base-catalyzed reactions viz., ring-opening of epoxides with amines (producing beta-amino alcohols), esterification, three-component-Mannich reactions and cycloaddition of CO(2) to epoxides. The Mn complexes grafted on organofunctionalized SBA-15 are efficient catalysts for the chemo-, regio- and stereoselective aerial oxidation of monoterpenes at ambient conditions. TiO(x), VO(x), MoO(x) and WO(x) supported on SBA-15 catalyzed biomimetic oxyhalogenation of aromatic compounds. In all these reactions, the functionalized SBA-15 showed high selectivity.</p>10agrafted Mn-Salen complexes10aOrdered mesoporous silica10aorganofunctionalized SBA-1510aoxidation catalysts10aOxyhalogenation of aromatics1 aSrinivas, Darbha1 aSaikia, Lakshi  uhttp://library.ncl.res.in/content/functionalized-sba-15-and-its-catalytic-applications-selective-organic-transformations-0
