Vanadium-substituted ordered mesoporous silicates (V-OMS) were synthesized hydrothermally using two common silica sources, viz. fumed silica and tetraethyl orthosilicate, and their surface properties and catalytic activities were evaluated in the liquid phase oxidation of 1-napthol using aqueous H2O2 as an oxidant. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, N-2, adsorption-desorption, DRUV-vis and TPR to evaluate the mesostructural ordering and the local environment of vanadium in the MCM-41 matrix. Characterization data of the fresh calcined catalysts reveal a more ordered hexagonal structure for the V-MCM-41 catalyst prepared by using tetraethyl orthosilicate as the silica source while spent catalyst showed that the material is less stable than the V-MCM-41 catalyst prepared by using fumed silica as the silica source. Further, the observed differences in the selectivity behavior of extracted and calcined forms of both vanadium catalysts shows that the treatment conditions had a decisive role in the formation of extra framework metal species and further in the mesoscopic structural ordering.

Mn(III) and Co(II)-schiff base complexes were immobilized over mesoporous alumina through the reaction of mesoporous alumina functionalized 3-aminopropyl triethoxy silane (3-APTES) and salicylic aldehyde via schiff base condensation. The surface properties of the functionalized catalysts were analyzed by a series of characterization techniques like elemental analysis, PXRD, FTIR, N(2) adsorption-desorption, TG-DTG, DR UV-vis, XPS, etc. PXRD and adsorption-desorption analysis shows that the mesostructure of alumina remains intact after various modifications, while spectral technique show the successful anchoring of the neat complexes inside the porous alumina support. The catalytic activity of the functionalized metal-salen complexes examined in the liquid phase oxidation of styrene and cyclohexene shows that the functionalized salen complexes are more active and selective than the corresponding neat metal complexes. Further, the catalyst (Mn-S-NH(2)-MA) was recycled three times in the oxidation of styrene and no major change in the conversion and selectivity is observed, which shows that the immobilized metal-salen complexes are stable under the present reaction conditions.

Cobalt-containing hexagonal mesoporous materials (Co-HMS and Co/HMS) with different cobalt content were synthesized for the first time by direct hydrothermal and post-synthesis (grafting) method. The materials were characterized in detail by X-ray diffraction, BET surface area, N-2 sorption isotherms, SEM, TEM, UV-vis and XPS techniques. Powder X-ray diffraction pattern, N2 adsorption-desorption analysis and TEM analysis show the presence of hexagonal mesoporous structure, having Type W isotherms and reveals the typical wormhole-like morphology. Spectroscopic techniques like UV-vis and XPS reveal cobalt in +2 oxidation state and tetrahedrally coordinated. Liquid phase oxidation of ethylbenzene using TBHP (70 wt%) as an oxidant shows that the catalysts are highly active, under solvent free conditions as well as under lower cobalt concentrations. Leaching studies performed by hot filtration experiments show that the cobalt catalysts prepared by hydrothermal methods are stable, while the grafted catalysts show the leaching of cobalt under the reaction conditions.

Transition metals (M = Ti, V, Cr) were incorporated into the MCM-41 framework by surfactant-assisted direct hydrothermal (DHT) methods and were characterized in detail by XRD, N-2 adsorption-desorption, TG-DTG/DTA, SEM/TEM, DR UV-Vis, XPS and EPR. The structural regularity as well as the textural properties of the M-MCM-41 materials was confirmed by XRD, TEM and adsorption-desorption techniques. Nature of metal species and the percentage of framework as well as extra framework metal sites in the MCM-41 matrix are discussed in detail by various spectroscopic techniques. The catalytic activity as well as the selectivity of the M-MCM-41 catalysts were explored in the one-step liquid-phase oxidation reaction of ethyl benzene and diphenyl methane. Reaction data showed that the oxidation activity is more when H2O2 was used an oxidant, acetonitrile as solvent and V-MCM-41 as catalyst. However, the selectivity towards the desired keto derivatives (ethyl benzene to acetophenone and diphenyl methane to benzophenone) follows the order, Ti-MCM-41 > V-MCM-41 > Cr-MCM-41.

Organic-inorganic hybrid mesoporous silica materials containing chromium and various organo trialkoxysilanes (chloropropyl, vinyl, methyl) were prepared by the co-condensation method, in the presence of cetyl trimethyl ammonium surfactants. The hybrid material, containing chromium, retains one X-ray diffractogram (XRD) peak up to a molar ratio of 1: 1 between tetra ethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and organosilane in the synthesis gel. Small pore mesoporous chromium-silica samples can be prepared from the large pore hybrid mesoporous chromium samples by calcination. By this method, the pore size of the material can be tailored into the supermicroporous region, without changing the chain length of the surfactant used in the assembly process, as judged from the XRD and N-2 sorption isotherms. The shrinkage in pore size is dependent on the nature and percentage of the organic pendant groups, such that the chloro propyl and vinyl pendant mesoporous material show more pore size shrinkage than the smaller methyl pendant units. Because of the tailorable pore size and with better textural characteristics, the chromium samples show better catalytic activity in the aerial oxidation reaction of cyclohexane than the conventional chromium-containing mesoporous material, like Cr-MCM-41, under a solvent free system. Among the porous chromium catalysts, the samples prepared using chloro propyl silane show higher cyclohexane conversion and cyclohexanone selectivity and behave as a true heterogeneous catalyst.

Chromium-containing ethane-bridged hybrid mesoporous materials (Cr-PMO) with uniform hexagonal arrangement were synthesized by two different synthesis routes using 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane (BTEE) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as silica sources and alkyltrimethyl ammonium salts (ATMA) as surfactants. Powder X-ray diffraction, TEM, N-2 adsorption-desorption, FT-IR, in situ FT-Raman, UV-ViS, XPS, Si-29 MAS NMR and C-13 CP MAS NMR were used to probe the mesoporous structure and the nature of chromium sites in the hybrid catalyst matrix. PXRD, TEM and N-2 adsorption-desorption analysis showed that the original hexagonal structure of the materials is maintained after chromium substitution, while FT-Raman, UV-Vis and XPS analysis showed that chromium atoms exist in a highly dispersed state. The catalytic performance of the chromium-containing hybrid samples was tested in the liquid-phase oxidation of cyclohexane with aqueous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and non-aqueous tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidants. The hybrid materials exhibited better catalytic activities and were more stable than the conventional Cr-MCM-41 catalyst. The higher catalytic activity of the new chromium-containing molecular sieves is attributed to the improved hydrophobicity of the materials and to the complementary structural features that facilitates the accessibility of cyclohexane to the active framework chromium sites.

Novel bifunctional periodic mesoporous silicas having high content of organic groups in the pore channels and chromium in the frame wall has been synthesized by direct co-condensation method, using organo trialkoxysilanes (chloro propyl, vinyl, methyl), chromium nitrate and tetraethyl orthosilicate, in presence of cetyltrimethyl ammonium surfactants. The obtained materials show one main peak in the XRD patterns up to a molar ratio of 1: 1 between TEOS and organosilane in the synthesis gel and N-2 adsorption-desorption analysis shows that the mesopore structure remains intact after the surfactant removal process. Among the organosilanes, chloro propyl and vinyl pendant chromium samples shows a shift in the main peak to higher 2-theta values with a corresponding decrease in pore volume and pore diameter, with the percentage of organosilane functionalization. Small-pore silicas and chromium silicas can be prepared from the large pore mesoporous MCM-41, by effectively removing the organic groups by calcination. By this method, the pore size of the material can be tailored into the super-microporous region, without changing the chain length of the surfactant used in the assembly process. The shrinkage in pore size is dependent on the nature and percentage of the organic pendant groups that the chloro propyl and vinyl pendant mesoporous materials show the maximum pore size shrinkage than the small chain length methyl units. Because of the tailorable pore size and with better textural characteristics, chromium-silica materials find applications in the field of shape selective heterogeneous catalysis, as demonstrated in the oxidation reaction of cyclohexane, than the conventional metal-containing mesoporous materials.

Chromium-containing ethane-bridged hybrid periodic mesoporous organosilicas (Cr-PMO) were synthesized using 1,2-bis(triethoxysilyl) ethane (BTEE) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as silica sources and alkyltrimethyl ammonium salts as surfactants by two different synthesis routes. PXRD and N(2) adsorption-desorption analysis shows that the original structure of the materials is maintained after chromium substitution while spectroscopic study proves the incorporation of chromium in the frame wall positions and show the existence of Cr(2)O(3) species in the mixed silica source (BTEE-TEOS) synthesized chromium samples. The catalytic activity of the newly developed chromium samples was evaluated in the liquid phase oxidation of cyclohexane and ethylbenzene using air as an oxidant. Further, the Cr-PMO samples exhibited better cyclohexane conversion and cyclohexanone selectivity than the conventional Cr-MCM-41 and other metal-containing MCM-41 samples. The exceptional activity of the new chromium-containing molecular sieves is attributed to the hydrophobicity of the materials and to the complementary structural features that facilitates the accessibility of substrate to the active framework chromium sites.
