	abstract = {<p>Tin incorporated mesoporous organosilicas (Sn-PMO) having uniform hexagonal arrangements were prepared using alkyl trimethylammonium bromide surfactants under basic reaction conditions. Characterization techniques revealed that the structural ordering, morphology, and the percentage of tin incorporation depend critically on the hydrophobic chain length of surfactants. The Sn-PMO samples are thermally stable up to 500 degrees C under air atmosphere and were hydrothermally stable up to 100 h in boiling water. The organotinsilicates showed excellent catalytic activity and reusability in the epoxidation of norbornene and ciscyclooctene than an Sn-MCM-41 due to organic groups in the frame wall positions and the better accessibility of reactants to the active sites.

	abstract = {<p>New heterogeneous catalysts for alkene hydrogenation reactions were prepared by the immobilization of trimethoxysilane functionalized triphenylphosphine eta(6)-p-cymene ruthenium complex on mesoporous organosilica (PMO-Ru). Characterization techniques confirmed the structural integrity of the organosilica material and proved the successful anchoring of ruthenium complex. Catalytic activity and stability of PMO-Ru sample investigated in the hydrogenation of various olefins showed higher activity than a neat and MCM-41 supported ruthenium catalyst. High catalytic activity and stability of organosilica supported ruthenium catalyst are attributed to the hydrophobic environments and to the unique structural features imparted from the presence of organic groups in the framewall positions.
