the direct and indirect methods in solvent media and grinding method in a solvent-free media were used to prepare the mcm-41/zno and mcm-48/zno photocatalysts. the x-ray diffraction (xrd) patterns showed that zinc oxide nanoparticles were put into mcm-41 and mcm-48 substrates and there were zno crystallites as secondary phase in the extra framework of mesoporous materials. the decrease of surfa...

The discovery of mesoporous molecular sieves, MCM-41, which possesses a regular hexagonalarray of uniform pore openings, aroused a worldwide resurgence in this field. This is not onlybecause it has brought about a series of novel mesoporous materials with various compositionswhich may find applications in catalysis, adsorption, and guest-host chemistry, but also it hasopened a new avenue for cr...

The mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 was covalently grafted with 3-chloropropyl trimethoxylsilane and then was reacted with [Cr(salpr)(H2O)]Cl, (salpr = N,N'-bis(3-salicylidenaminopropyl)amine) to afford MCM-41 containing Cr(salpr) moiety, Cr(salpr)MCM-41. Powder X-ray diffraction and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analyses revealed that not only the textural characteristics of the support wer...

Ti-MCM-41 was synthesized at pH 3, 7 and 11. The titanium content was determined by AAS and found to be 4%, 3.2% and 4.5%, respectively. In order to increase the titanium content in Ti-MCM-41, Ti(IV) ions were grafted onto Ti-MCM-41 using TiCl4 in toluene and Ti(OBu)4 in ethanol. The incorporation of Ti was determined to be 28% and 30%, respectively. The oxidation of olefins such as cyclopenten...

incorporation of [fe(bipy)cl4][bipy.h] (1) (where bipy is 2,2′-bipyridine) in the molecular sieves of the type lta, nay and mesoporous al-mcm-41 by using a “ship in a bottle synthesis” approach was investigated. [fe(bipy)cl4][bipy.h] was successfullyincorporated in the channels ofmesoporousal-mcm-41, and the product was characterized by x-ray diffraction, ftir and bet analysis. it was fou...

Nanoporous materials such as Mobil composite material number 41 (MCM-41) are attractive for applications such as catalysis, adsorption, supports, and carriers. Green synthesis of MCM-41 is particularly appealing because the chemical reagents are useful and valuable. We report on the eco-friendly synthesis of MCM-41 nanoporous materials via multi-cycle approach by re-using the non-reacted reagen...

A new and simple method for preparing confined copper nickel nanoparticles by thermal treatment of their respective cations inside Mobil Composition Matter 41 (MCM–41) hydrophobic nanopores is presented here. Surface modified MCM–41 materials were impregnated using high-pressure with II (Cu II) or (Ni aqueous solutions. After pressure release washing, the remaining metal cations, exclusively wi...

Mesoporous MCM-41 molecular sieves substituted with various amounts of Cu(II) and Al(III) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The resultant materials were characterized by XRD, XANES, surface area and pore size measurement, EPR and 27Al solid state NMR. The Cu(II)-substituted MCM-41 was found to be an efficient catalyst in the oxidation of trimethylphenol (TMP) to trimethylbenzoquinone...

This work reports a new method to covalently attach calix[4]arene derivatives onto MCM-41, using a diisocyanate as a linker. The modified mesoporous silicates were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal analysis (TGA) and elemental analysis. The FTIR spectra and TGA analysis verified that the calix[4]arene derivates are covalently attached to the mesoporous sil...
