Both the density and the strength of the acid sites were considerably higher in the samples containing both Ce and Al than in the samples with only one of these substituents. The IR spectra of chemisorbed pyridine revealed that the Ce-Al-MCM-41 samples contained at least two distinct Lewis acid sites, L-2 (1595-1444 cm(-1)) and L-1 (1613-1452 cm(-1)), where the L-2/L-1 ratio increased progressively with increasing Ce/Al atomic ratio in a series of samples with similar Si/Al ratios. In addition, the density of the Bronsted acid sites (B) as well as the B/L-1 ratio increased with increasing Ce/Al molar ratio in these samples. The findings of this study help us understand the synergistic role played by Lewis and Bronsted acid sites in the catalytic activity of these catalysts for the benzylation of toluene.

These samples exhibited higher catalytic activity for Mukaiyama-aldol condensations to produce beta-hydroxy carbonyl compounds under the solvent free conditions, compared to the samples containing either of the two cations. The product yield was found to depend on the electron donating/withdrawing characteristics of reactant molecules being responsible for the observed trend. Series of solvents were also investigated but considerably high yield of aldol products (similar to 95%) could be achieved without using any solvents. In all the cases, the selectivity was found to be 100%, typical of such Mukaiyama-aldol condensations. The higher catalytic activity of Ce-x-Al-MCM-41 is explained on the basis of certain new acid sites generated due to co-incorporation of Ce and Al cations.
