	abstract = {<p>TiO(x), VO(x), MoO(x) and WO(x) supported on SBA-15 exhibit efficient catalytic activity for oxyhalogenation of aromatics with the H(2)O(2)-halide ion system. Unlike the hitherto known solid catalysts, these reusable catalysts yield the para-halogenated product with 100\% selectivity at 298 K and moderate acidic pH (3-5). The catalytic activity was enhanced by five orders of magnitude when supported on SBA-15.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Pd-0 nanoparticles (NPs) have been fabricated on SBA-15 using a facile, rapid and highly reproducible microwave-assisted reduction by solvent method. The as-synthesized Pd@SBA-15 nanocomposite was well characterized using low angle and wide angle XRD, TEM, FE-SEM, N-2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, FTIR, XPS etc. The Pd@SBA-15 nanocomposite act as an active, recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for semihydrogenation of phenylacetylene under solvent-free mild reaction conditions (303 K, atmospheric H-2). A maximum of 94.4\% phenylacetylene conversion was achieved with very high selectivity for styrene (95.5\%). Moreover, the used catalyst was recovered by centrifugation and reused up to four times without significant loss in their catalytic activity. This optimized reaction protocol for phenylacetylene was also well performed in case of various other alkynes with similar or better performance. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.</p>},
