XRD, N(2) adsorption and (27)Al NMR spectroscopy. The low angle XRD and N2 adsorption measurements reveal that the structural order of SBA-15 was retained after the incorporation of Al. The increase of the unit cell parameter with increasing aluminum content and (27)Al MAS NMR spectroscopy confirm the incorporation of aluminum in the framework. Benzylation of benzene and substituted benzenes reaction employing benzyl chloride as the alkylating agent over AISBA-15 and AIMCM-41 have been investigated. The influence of various reaction parameters such as reaction temperature, reactant feed ratio and catalyst amount affecting the activity and selectivity of AISBA-15, have been studied. Among the mesoporous catalysts studied, AISBA-15(45), where the number in parentheses indicates the molar nsilnA, ratio, shows both high conversion and high selectivity for the benzylation of benzene. The activity of this catalyst for the benzylation of different aromatic compounds is in the following order: benzene &gt; toluene &gt; p-xylene &gt; mesitylene &gt; anisole. Kinetics of the benzene benzylation over different catalysts have also been investigated. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.

The degree of iron(III) incorporation into SBA-15 can easily be controlled by a simple adjustment of the molar ratio of water and hydrochloric acid. All the materials have been characterized by XRD, N-2 adsorption, UV-Vis DRS, ESR, and XANES spectroscopy. The characterization of the FeSBA-15 materials by UV-Vis DRS, ESR, and XANES spectroscopies suggests that the iron atoms are highly dispersed and mostly occupy isolated tetrahedral sites. XANES studies revealed that the proportion of tetrahedrally coordinated Fe atoms decreases with decreasing n(Si)/n(Fc) ratios. Benzylation of benzene (or substituted benzenes) using benzyl chloride as the alkylating agent over FeSBA-15 with different n(Si)/n(Fe) ratios was investigated as was the same reaction using AISBA-15 as catalyst. The influence of parameters such as reaction temperature, reactant feed ratio, and the presence of electron-donating substituents on the activity and selectivity of AISBA-15 was studied. Under optimized reaction conditions, the FeSBA-15 catalyst showed a superior catalytic performance in the benzylation of benzene and other aromatics using benzyl chloride, with a clean conversion of benzyl chloride to the monoalkylated product (100% selectivity) with a very high rate constant when compared to other mesoporous materials such as AISBA-15 and FeHMS. Interestingly, use of FeSBA-15(21) resulted in quantitative conversion of benzyl chloride with a high rate constant of 2420.5 x 10(-4) min(-1) under the optimized reaction conditions.</p>1 aVinu, A.1 aSawant, D., P.1 aAriga, Katsuhiko1 aHossain, K., Z.1 aHalligudi, Shivappa, B.1 aHartmann, Martin1 aNomura, M.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/direct-synthesis-well-ordered-and-unusually-reactive-fesba-15-mesoporous-molecular-sieves-002980nas a2200289   4500008004100000022001400041245013400055210006900189260007600258300001400334490000700348520191000355653001902265653002502284653001702309653001902326653002402345100002602369700001902395700003502414700002102449700002402470700002002494700002802514700001702542856013102559       2008                        eng d  a0947-653900aHeteropoly acid encapsulated SBA-15/TiO(2) nanocomposites and their unusual performance in acid-catalysed organic transformations0 aHeteropoly acid encapsulated SBA15TiO2 nanocomposites and their   aCOMMERCE PLACE, 350 MAIN ST, MALDEN 02148, MA USAbWILEY-BLACKWELLcFEB  a3200-32120 v143 a<p>The preparation of SBA-15/TiO(2) nanocomposites with different loadings of Keggin-type 12-tungsto-phosphoric acid (TPA) nanocrystals in their mesochannels through a simple and effective vacuum impregnation method is reported for the first time. The catalysts have been characterised by various sophisticated techniques, including XRD, HRSEM, and TEM. It has been found that the acidity and the textural parameters of the nanocomposites can be controlled by simply changing the loadings of TPA and TiO(2) or the calcination temperature. TPA and TiO(2) loadings of 15 and 22.4 wt %, respectively, and a calcination temperature of 1123 K have proved to be optimal for obtaining mesoporous nanocomposite materials with the highest acidity. Moreover, the activities of these catalysts in promoting hydroamination as well as Mannich and Claisen rearrangement reactions have been extensively investigated. The results show that the amount of TPA has a great influence on the activity of the nanocomposites in all of the reactions studied. The effects of other reaction parameters, such as temperature and reaction time, on the conversion and product selectivity have also been studied in detail. A kinetic analysis of the formation of the products under various reaction conditions is presented. It has been found that the activity of the nanocomposite composed of 15 wt % TPA deposited on 22.4 wt of TiO(2) on SBA-15 in promoting the studied reaction is remarkably higher than the catalytic activities shown by pure TPA, TiO(2)-loaded SBA-15, or TPA-loaded SBA-15. The results obtained have indicated that the acidity and the structural control of the nanocomposite materials are highly critical for obtaining excellent catalytic activity, and the presented highly acidic nanocomposites are considered to show great potential for use as catalysts in promoting many acid-catalysed organic transformations.</p>10aBronsted acids10amesoporous materials10ananoreactors10ananotechnology10asupported catalysts1 aSawant, Dhanashri, P.1 aJustus, Josena1 aBalasubramanian, Veerappan, V.1 aAriga, Katsuhiko1 aSrinivasu, Pavuluri1 aVelmathi, Sivan1 aHalligudi, Shivappa, B.1 aVinu, Ajayan  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/heteropoly-acid-encapsulated-sba-15tio2-nanocomposites-and-their-unusual-performance-acid-002735nas a2200253   4500008004100000022001400041245013200055210006900187260007700256300001200333490000700345520176600352100002402118700001502142700003502157700002002192700002602212700002302238700002602261700002102287700002802308700001702336856012802353       2008                        eng d  a1616-301X00aNovel three dimensional cubic Fm3m mesoporous aluminosilicates with tailored cage type pore structure and high aluminum content0 aNovel three dimensional cubic Fm3m mesoporous aluminosilicates w  aPO BOX 10 11 61, D-69451 WEINHEIM, GERMANYbWILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBHcFEB  a640-6510 v183 a<p>Novel three dimensional cubic Fm3m mesoporous aluminosilicates (AIKIT-5) with very high structural order and unprecedented loadings of Al in the silica framework have been successfully prepared for the first time by using non ionic surfactant as a template in a highly acidic medium. The obtained materials have been unambiguously characterized in detail by several sophisticated techniques such as XRD, N, adsorption, HRTEM, HRSEM, EDS, elemental mapping, Al-27 MAS NMR, and NH3-TPD. We also demonstrate that the nature, and the amount of Al incorporation in the silica framework can easily be controlled by simply varying the n(H2O)/n(HCl) and the n(Si)/n(Al), ratios, and the Al sources in the synthesis gel. Among the Al sources examined, the Al isopropoxide (AiPr) is superior over other Al sources. Al-27 MAS NMR results reveal that the amount of tetrahedral Al in the framework can be controlled by simply adjusting the nSi/nAl ratio in the synthesis gel, which increases with increasing the Al incorporation. One of the interesting findings in the work is the increase of the specific surface area, specific pore volume and the pore diameter of AIKIT-5 with increasing the Al incorporation in the silica framework (up to n(Si)/n(Al), ratio of 10) while retaining the well-ordered three dimensional cage type porous structure, and the mechanism for the unusual behavior has been discussed in detail. Finally, the acidity and the catalytic activity in the acetylation of veratrole of the AIKIT-5 catalysts have been studied and the results have been compared with the several zeolites catalysts. Among the catalysts examined, AIKIT-5(10) is found to be superior over the zeolites catalysts such as mordenite, zeolite H-Y, zeolite H-beta, and ZSM-5.</p>1 aSrinivasu, Pavuluri1 aAlam, Sher1 aBalasubramanian, Veerappan, V.1 aVelmathi, Sivan1 aSawant, Dhanashri, P.1 aBoehlmann, Winfred1 aMirajkar, Subhash, P.1 aAriga, Katsuhiko1 aHalligudi, Shivappa, B.1 aVinu, Ajayan  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/novel-three-dimensional-cubic-fm3m-mesoporous-aluminosilicates-tailored-cage-type-pore-002420nas a2200289   4500008004100000022001400041245011000055210006900165260007700234300001400311490000600325520138300331653002101714653001901735653002501754653001801779100002801797700003501825700002101860700001901881700001701900700001901917700002401936700002801960700001701988856012502005       2014                        eng d  a1867-388000aTitania nanoparticles stabilized HPA in SBA-15 for the intermolecular hydroamination of activated olefins0 aTitania nanoparticles stabilized HPA in SBA15 for the intermolec  aBOSCHSTRASSE 12, D-69469 WEINHEIM, GERMANYbWILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBHcDEC  a3347-33540 v63 a<p>A liquid phase hydroamination (HA) of alpha,beta-ethylenic compounds with amines was investigated with TiO2 nanoparticles stabilized 12-tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) in SBA-15. The catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation of TPA/TiO2 nanoparticles into the SBA-15 and calcined at different temperatures. The characterization results reveal that the textural properties and the acidity of the prepared catalysts can be finely controlled with the simple adjustment of the calcination temperature and the structure of the support, decorated with the TiO2 and TPA nanoparticles, was intact even after the modification. The prepared catalysts were investigated for HA of ethyl acrylate with different aromatic and aliphatic amines over a wide range of reaction conditions to optimize the yield and the selectivity of product. It was found that this process is 100% atom efficient and the catalytic performance depended significantly on the loading of TPA over the catalyst and the calcination temperature. Under optimized reaction conditions, the best catalyst, 15 wt% TPA/22.4 wt% TiO2/SBA-15 calcined at 1123 K, offered the highest conversion of p-ethylaniline (70%) with 100% chemo-selectivity to the anti-Markovnikov product, i.e., the mono-addition product.
