Synthesis, structure, and acidic properties of MCM-41 functionalized with phosphate and titanium phosphate groups.

TLDR
A combination of mesoporous structure with acidic properties makes the MCM-41 functionalized with phosphate groups promising for use as solid acid catalysts.
Abstract
Mesoporous molecular sieves Si-MCM-41 (purely siliceous) and Ti-MCM-41 (partly covered with a surface layer of TiO2) were functionalized with phosphate groups by treatment with POCl3 (denoted -MCM-41(P) and Ti-MCM-41(P), respectively). With the use of TEM, X-ray diffraction, and N2 adsorption, it was shown that the initial hexagonal structure, the high specific surface area, and porosity are retained in the functionalized materials but are not as good as in the starting materials. 1H MAS NMR and 31P MAS NMR revealed that the surface of Si-MCM-41(P) consists of silicon phosphate and pyrophosphate species. That of Ti-MCM-41(P) additionally contains titanium dihydro-, hydro-, and pyrophosphate species, the latter being predominant. TPD of adsorbed ammonia for Si-MCM-41(P) and Ti-MCM-41(P) showed that functionalization leads to the creation of moderate and strong acid sites. A combination of mesoporous structure with acidic properties makes the MCM-41 functionalized with phosphate groups promising for use as ...
