Novel Single-Site Titanosilicates With Targeted Connectivity And Nuclearity Of Titanium(Iv): Synthesis, Characterization And Catalytic Properties In Alkylphenol Oxidation, Nan Chen
Doctoral Dissertations
Titanosilicates are a family of porous materials that have shown excellent catalytic activity in olefin epoxidation and many other selective oxidation reactions. These materials have been extensively studied in the past few decades. One of the central questions in these investigations has been to define the catalytically active centers. The traditional synthesis of wet impregnation followed by calcination often produces more than one type of catalytic center within the same matrix, i.e. different coordination, connectivity and nuclearity. Each type potentially possesses unique catalytic activity. Co-existence of multiple catalytic centers makes it impossible to establish the relationship between the structure of …
