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.

The physico-chemical properties of the vanadium-containing materials were characterized in detail by ICP-OES, XRD, Fr-IR, N-2 adsorption-desorption, DRUV-VIS, TPR, XPS and SEM techniques. The redox performances of the vanadium-modified mesoporous materials were tested in the hydroxylation of biphenyl using aqueous H2O2 (30 wt.%) as oxidant. For a better exploitation of the catalytic activity, the reaction parameters are optimized in terms of temperature, solvent, oxidant, etc. A comparison between the catalytic activity values of the vanadium-containing mesoporous materials prepared by the two routes shows that vanadium-substituted (V-MCM-41) materials had increased activity and improved selectivity for mono hydroxyl products in the hydroxylation reaction of biphenyl compared to the V/MCM-41 catalysts. The heterogenity of the catalysts was verified by a series of leaching studies. Both the catalysts enhance the leaching of active vanadia species during the reaction; among them, V/MCM-41 shows the least heterogenity. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

The extent of mesopore structural ordering was confirmed from X-ray diffraction, N-2 physisorption, SEM, and TEM, and the presence and nature of vanadium species inside the framework of the MCM-41 matrix was confirmed in detail with the use of various characterization techniques like FT-IR, Si-29 MAS NMR, DRUV-vis, EPR, V-51 MAS NMR, and Raman analysis. It is deduced from the above characterization techniques that, regardless of the silica source, vanadium is incorporated into the silica framework and thereby increases the structural ordering and wall thickness of the mesoporous material. Thermal and hydrothermal Studies performed over the V-MCM-41 catalysts show that the Si-O-Si inorganic backbone from a fumed silica source is more resistant to severe thermal treatments and hydrolysis than the tetraethyl orthosilicate-synthesized catalysts. Spectroscopic characterization reveals the existence of easily accessible isolated tetrahedral vanadium sites on V-MCM-41 catalyst prepared front fumed silica catalyst, whereas the sample obtained from a tetraethyl orthosilicate silica Source shows vanadium in more disordered sites. Catalytic results show that both catalysts display excellent activity toward the epoxidation reaction of bulkier olefins, and the exceptional activity of the fumed silica catalyst may arise from the more isolated tetrahedral sites and the complementary textural characteristics, which may facilitate the easy access of substrate to the isolated framework metal sites.

The functionalized materials were characterized by solid-state NMR (CPMAS, Si-29 and C-13) and XPS. The NMR data indicate that three new silicon environments were created by(EtO)(3)SiCH2Cl and (MeO)(3)SiCH2CH2CH2Cl, whereas with (CH3)Cl2SiCH2Cl, two new silicon environments were obtained. XPS results from Si 2p core level and the valence band from the material functionalized by (MeO)(3)Si(CH2)(3)Cl was found to be the same as that of the corresponding fresh catalyst (1a), in contrast to that of the materials functionalized by the other two silane reagents. After further functionalization with triethylamine, these materials were used as inorganic anion exchangers to support the cluster anion [Pt-12(CO)(24)](2-). Solid-state NMR (29Si, C-13, N-15) was used to establish the presence of the quaternary ammonium group in the cluster-supported species. Analogous materials were also created using fumed silica as the support, and all of the cluster-supported materials were tested as catalysts for the hydrogenation of methyl pyruvate, acetophenone, nitrobenzene, benzonitrile, ethylacetoacetate, 4-nitrotoluene, cyclohexanone, allyl alcohol, and styrene. The best activity was obtained for the catalyst that had MCM-41 as the support and chloropropyl as the spacer group. TEM showed that the supports and the spacer groups had observable effects on the platinum crystallite size of the catalysts. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.

Powder XRD, N-2 adsorption/desorption and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used for sample characterization. On the basis of results obtained from time dependent study on the progressive development of MCM-41 mesophases, the reactivity trend of dioxosilicon sources observed was as: FS &amp;gt; PS1 &amp;gt; PS2. MCM-41 synthesized using least expensive PS2 having less surface area has exhibited thicker pore walls but poor orderness, while MCM-41 prepared from expensive FS having high surface area has thinner pore walls and was well ordered. The extent of contraction caused by calcination, magnitude of the wall thickness and structural stability were found to be dependent on manufacturing process of dioxosilicon sources. The noticeable morphological differences were also observed by variations in the type of dioxosilicon sources used in the hydrothermal synthesis MCM-41 materials. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Presence of nanowires of silver and gold in MCM-41 were confirmed by high angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) data (peaks between 2 theta = 30 - 60 degrees) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed the diameter of the nanowires. Diameter of nanowires is found to be similar to 2.8 nm which is coincident with channel diameter of MCM-41. Optical properties of these heterostructured materials Ag-MCM-41 and Au-MCM-41 reveals the presence of surface plasmon absorption peaks of silver and gold respectively, and the shift in the absorption bands are associated to agglomeration of clusters inside the channels. Room temperature photoluminescence spectra exhibits interesting optical properties as observed for direct band gap semiconductors. Non-linear optical properties (NLO) corresponding to second harmonic generation (SHG) values were also recorded for self supported films of these heterostructured materials. Enhanced optical non-linearity was found to be arising from a corresponding increase of local field near the surface plasmon resonance. Further enhancement in SHG was found with poling due to an induction of orientation order. (C) Versita Warsaw and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Catalysts with different TPA loadings (5-50 wt.%) on 22.4 wt.%ZrO2/MCM-41 and 15 wt.%TPA on different zirconia loadings (10-70 wt.%)/MCM-41 were prepared and calcined at 1123 K. The physico-chemical characterization of the supported catalysts was done by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area measurement (BET), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transformed-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of ammonia, FT-IR pyridine adsorption and (31) P cross polarization-magic angle spinning (CP-MAS) NMR spectroscopy. The mesoporous silica supports play an important role in stabilizing catalytically active TPA along with tetragonal phase of zirconia. Among the catalysts, 15 wt.%TPA/22.4 wt.%ZrO2/MCM-41 calcined at 1123 K was found to have highest acidity and at least four times more active than neat 15 wt.%TPA/ZrO2 in veratrole acetylation to acetoveratrone by acetic anhydride. Reaction conditions were evaluated with 15 wt.%TPA/22.4 wt:%ZrO2/MCM-41 calcined at 1123 K to get higher conversion of acetic anhydride to acetoveratrone.

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.

	One-pot reductive alkylation of nitrobenzene with alcohol is an important organic synthesis reaction to form 2 degrees amines. In the present work, we have demonstrated that Pd/SBA-15 can be an effective catalytic system for this reaction. We have designed ultra-small Pd nanoparticles supported on SBA-15 for the synthesis of secondary amine, N-ethylaniline, through one-pot reductive alkylation of nitrobenzene with ethanol under ambient conditions. Ethanol functions both as the alkylating agent and the solvent in this process. The reaction is driven by the simultaneous hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline, dehydrogenation of ethanol to aldehyde, and condensation of aniline and acetaldehyde to form N-ethylaniline. The size of the Pd nanoparticles plays a decisive role in the product selectivity. The undercoordinated sites present on ultra-small Pd NPs can facilitate ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde, thereby enhancing the selectivity towards N-ethylaniline compared to larger Pd nanoparticles. We have also studied the effect of different mesoporous supports such as SBA-15, MCM-41, and KIT-6 on the N-ethylaniline selectivity and found that SBA-15 was most selective. We have demonstrated that by carefully designing the catalyst such as controlling the Pd NPs size to obtain the maximum quantity of undercoordinated sites and choosing suitable support, the aliphatic alcohols can also be used for reductive alkylation of nitrobenzene in one-pot with optimum yields of N-alkylaniline.&lt;/p&gt;
