| Silica supported vanadium centers have recently attracted interest as catalysts for a variety of selective oxidation and solid acid chemistry. Although many strategies have been developed for incorporating metal sites onto support surfaces, controlling metal atom dispersion and loading while simultaneously producing single site catalysts remains a challenging goal in catalysis science. In this presentation, a simple strategy for producing single site, site isolated Ti(IV) and vanadium(IV, V) species in a synthetic silicate matrix will be described. The connectivity of these centers to the support and also the local surface structure around the metal may be varied by design. Preliminary results from studies of the selective oxidation of alkanes by titanium and penta- and tetravalent vanadium in silica will be described. |
