Iron-functionalized Al-SBA-15 for benzene hydroxylation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2008 Feb 14:(6):774-6. doi: 10.1039/b717079c.

Abstract

For the first time an ordered mesoporous silica (Fe-Al-SBA-15) with catalytically active isolated Fe surface species for the hydroxylation of benzene with nitrous oxide is prepared by introduction of Fe3+ in the synthesis gel of Al-SBA-15.
