Abstract

A new type of defect-less, layered organo-titanosilicate is synthesized using a simple, template-free, evaporation-induced self-assembly process. The obtained layered material has superhydrophobicity and exhibits promising catalytic activity in the epoxidation of olefins using 30% H(2)O(2) aqueous solution as oxidant at room temperature.
