Abstract

Aluminum has been successfully incorporated within the frameworks of periodic mesoporous organosilicas (Al-PMO) by co-condensation of bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane and dibutoxyaluminotriethoxysilane. The Al-PMO materials exhibit highly ordered 2-d hexagonal structures, high surface areas, and narrow pore size distribution in the mesoporous range. The Al-PMO catalysts result in excellent catalytic activity and selectivity for etherification reaction between 2-naphthol and ethanol, which is comparable with those of beta zeolite.
