Synthesis of mesoporous vanadium silicate molecular sieves

Abstract

Substitution of vanadium into the framework of mesoporous MCM-41 molecular sieves has been achieved; these materials were found to be very efficient catalysts for the selective oxidation of large organic molecules using hydrogen peroxide.
