          Abstract

          In this work, we present the synthesis of SBA-15 materials modified with 6 and 9 mol.% of Zr and P, respectively. Silanol SBA-15 groups were detected by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. X-ray diffractograms revealed that the typical hexagonal arrangement of SBA-15 was preserved after Zr and P introduction, and the structure was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. After the Zr introduction, the morphology of SBA-15 changed from fibrous particles to a semi-spherical shape according to scanning electron microscopy, while nitrogen physisorption revealed the stability of the textural materials after the P introduction. The infrared spectra of pyridine adsorption indicated that the Zr and P incorporation into SBA-15 generated adequate Lewis and Br⊘nsted acidities to carry out methanol dehydration and direct the selectivity towards dimethyl ether, with medium-strong acid sites being responsible for obtaining up to 99% selectivity towards dimethyl ether.

            Silica-Supported, Single-Site Titanium Catalysts for Olefin Epoxidation. A Molecular Precursor Strategy for Control of Catalyst Structure

            A molecular precursor approach involving simple grafting procedures was used to produce site-isolated titanium-supported epoxidation catalysts of high activity and selectivity. The tris(tert-butoxy)siloxy titanium complexes Ti[OSi(O(t)Bu)(3)](4) (TiSi4), ((i)PrO)Ti[OSi(O(t)Bu)(3)](3) (TiSi3), and ((t)BuO)(3)TiOSi(O(t)Bu)(3) (TiSi) react with the hydroxyl groups of amorphous Aerosil, mesoporous MCM-41, and SBA-15 via loss of HO(t)Bu and/or HOSi(O(t)Bu)(3) and introduction of titanium species onto the silica surface. Powder X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, infrared, and diffuse reflectance ultraviolet spectroscopies were used to investigate the structures and chemical natures of the surface-bound titanium species. The titanium species exist mainly in isolated, tetrahedral coordination environments. Increasing the number of siloxide ligands in the molecular precursor decreases the amount of titanium that can be introduced this way, but also enhances the catalytic activity and selectivity for the epoxidation of cyclohexene with cumene hydroperoxide as oxidant. In addition, the high surface area mesoporous silicas (MCM-41 and SBA-15) are more effective than amorphous silica as supports for these catalysts. Supporting TiSi3 on the SBA-15 affords highly active cyclohexene epoxidation catalysts (0.25-1.77 wt % Ti loading) that provide turnover frequencies (TOFs) of 500-1500 h(-1) after 1 h (TOFs are reduced by about half after calcination). These results demonstrate that oxygen-rich siloxide complexes of titanium are useful as precursors to supported epoxidation catalysts.
