	abstract = {<p>SBA-15 Molecular sieve-intercalated Mg-Al hydrotalcite (MASBA-HT) was synthesized for the first time by a simple straightforward method. The intercalation of SBA-15 molecular sieve between the interlayer of HT was evident from powder XRD, TEM and FT-IR studies. The presence of SBA-15 facilitates retention of the layered structure for first time, even after calcination at high temperature of 550 degrees C. The resultant material possesses moderate acidity which comes from incorporation of aluminum into the framework of SBA-15 and also contained soluble basicity similar to HT materials. The material shows promising activity for hydroisomerization of 1-octene resulting in good substrate conversion (80\%) and branched isomers selectivity (45\%). The catalytic activity remains constant over longer duration and repeated runs. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>A simple route has been established for grafting molybdenum carbonyl onto the surface of a diaminosilane-modified SBA-15 molecular sieve. The successful grafting of the molybdenum carbonyl species onto diamine-functionalized SBA-15 was evident from FT-IR studies. The resultant molybdenum-carbonyl-complex-grafted SBA-15 (SBA-DA-Mo) materials show promising activity for the epoxidation of various olefins with good conversion (90-95\%) and the formation of epoxide as the major product. The catalytic activity remains constant over several runs.</p>},
