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...
