Acidity and catalytic behaviors of ordered mesoporous aluminosilicate materials containing zeolite building units
The structural and acidic properties of two new highly stable meso-/microporous composite materials (MMS-H and RMM-1) developed recently were characterized by various analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Comparing to their structural analogue, Al-MCM-48, these novel aluminosilicates materials comprising zeolite secondary building units were found to have superior catalytic activities, as illustrated by ethylbenzene alkylation reaction.
