Post-synthesis grafting of Al onto MCM-41

Abstract

Al-containing MCM-41 materials are prepared by grafting Al onto purely siliceous MCM-41; the resulting materials retain the hexagonal order and physical properties of the purely siliceous parent MCM-41 and exhibit higher Brønsted acid content compared to Al-MCM-41 prepared by direct hydrothermal synthesis.
