Small angle X-ray diffraction, N-2 sorption analysis, HRTEM, SEM, IFT-IR, CP-MAS NMR were used to diagnose the mesoporous structure of inorganic-organic hybrid materials. The structural integrity of molybdovanadophosphoric acid has been found to be retained after immobilization over mesoporous materials. These inorganic-organic hybrid materials were tested in the environmentally friendly oxidation of 2-methylnaphthalene (2MN) with 30%, aqueous hydrogen peroxide. Molybdovanadophosphoric acid containing mesoporous organosilica hybrid material (ethane-bridged SBA-15) exhibited higher catalytic activities in the oxidation of 2MN to give a clean product 2-methy-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione vitamin K3 precursor), because of the improved hydrophobicity of the material. The correlation between structural properties and catalytic activities of these hybrid materials has been well addressed in our present studies. (c) 2008 Elsevier Inc.

Inspite of their high acid amounts zeolites gave poor catalytic performance due to their diffusional constraints; on the other hand mesoporous materials lacked diffusional constraints but due to their low acid amounts resulted in poor conversions. lsopoly and heteropoly ions supported on zirconia and titania were found to be catalytically active for the reaction due to total surface acidity. Among them, isopolytungstate supported on zirconia exhibited the best catalytic activity and was used for further optimization of reaction conditions. Excellent conversions of all olefins (&gt;92%) with high selectivity of monoalkylmethylnaphthalene (&gt;95%) was obtained under optimized reaction conditions. The catalyst could be recycled for several times without any obvious loss of its activity. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
