Local Environmental Modification of Ti-SiO2 via Terminal Alcohols Grafting for Liquid-Phase Cyclohexene Epoxidation with H2O2.
Selective oxidation of hydrocarbons requires highly selective catalysts toward desired reaction products. In this study, SiO2-supported Ti catalysts were synthesized featuring isolated Ti oxide species (0.2 Ti atoms/nm2) that serve as active Lewis acid sites for the selective oxidation of cyclohexene with H2O2. To inve...
