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.

The materials were characterized in detail using powder XRD, N-2 adsorption-desorption, SEM, TEM, TG-DTG, TPD, Si-29, C-13 and Al-27 MAS NMR techniques. Characterization techniques revealed that aluminium isopropoxide was the appropriate source for the synthesis of organo aluminosilicas on considering the structural ordering, acidity as well as the percentage of aluminium incorporation into the ethane bridge. Al-27 MAS NMR displays aluminium as tetrahedrally coordinated in both the aluminium-containing organosilicas. Unlike the conventional EtOH-HCl template extraction process, in the present studies, we had used EtOH-NH4OH as the surfactant-extracting medium and chemical analysis results suggest that using this procedure the extent of dealumination can be greatly reduced. XRD and nitrogen physisorption studies further proved that the materials are hydrothermally stable, that the ordered pore channels retains its structure even after 150 h reflux in boiling water, while the conventional Al-MCM-41 catalyst collapsed its mesostructure after 50 h reflux in water. The improved hydrothermal stability of the hybrid materials, even in presence of sodium ions, is attributed to the thick pore walls as well as due to the presence of hydrophobic bridging ethane groups in the wall positions.

Among this class, the recent discovery of periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) represent an exciting new group of organic-inorganic nanocomposites targeted for a broad range of applications ranging from catalysis to microelectronics. Compared to the earlier generation of organic-inorganic hybrid mesoporous samples, obtained by the cocondensation reaction or by the grafting reaction, PMOs represent the right combination of organic and inorganic groups in the frame wall positions. This article reviews the current state of art in organic-inorganic hybrid mesoporous material research with special emphasis over periodic mesoporous organosilica materials having various redox centers (Ti, V, Cr) suitable for oxidation reactions as well as acidic sites (Al, -SO(3)H) for the organic transformation of bulky molecules.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;2.432&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
