TLDR
In this article, a combination of various physical techniques was used for characterizing the catalysts, such as X-ray diffraction, N 2 physisorption, diffuse reflectance UV-Vis (DR-UV-Vis), Fourier transmission infra red (FT-IR), atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), and 29 Si MAS NMR (magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance) spectrographs, to confirm that Nb atoms are isolated and tetrahedrally coordinated in the framework of MCM-41.

Niobium incorporated mesoporous silicate, Nb-KIT-6: Synthesis and characterization

TL;DR: In this paper, the direct incorporation of niobium into ordered cubic large pore mesoporous silicate with Ia3d structure, KIT-6, was demonstrated via hydrothermal synthesis using a Pluronic P123 triblock copolymer as the structure directing agent and n -butanol as additive.

Catalytic performance of niobium species in crystalline and amorphous solids—Gas and liquid phase oxidation

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of niobium, located in crystalline and amorphous catalysts, in catalytic oxidation reactions was investigated, and it was shown that Nb in such catalysts strongly interacts with H2O2 resulting in the formation of active O Nb(V)O2 radicals.

Synthesis of N-heterocyclic compounds over zeolite molecular sieve catalysts: an approach towards green chemistry

TL;DR: Benign by Design as mentioned in this paper represents the 12 principles of green chemistry as articulated by John Warner and Paul Anastas (Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, Oxford University Press, New York, 1998, p. 30) These principles have given chemists a framework for evaluating the chemical procedures and help chemists to develop synthetic procedures which are more efficient, create less waste, use and produce less toxic substances.

Tungstated Zirconia Catalysts for Liquid-Phase Beckmann Rearrangement of Cyclohexanone Oxime: Structure-Activity Relationship

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of tungstated zirconia catalysts with different tungsten loadings and calcination temperatures for liquid-phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime to e-caprolactam was studied and the relation of their activity with the structure of polytungstate species on zircania surface was investigated.

Textural Mesoporosity and the Catalytic Activity of Mesoporous Molecular Sieves with Wormhole Framework Structures

TL;DR: In this paper, three different water-alcohol cosolvent systems were used to assemble mesoporous molecular sieve silicas with wormhole framework structures (previously denoted HMS silicas) from an electrically neutral amine surfactant (S{degree}) and a silicon alkoxide precursor (I{degree).
