Engineering active sites for enhancing synergy in heterogeneous catalytic oxidations

摘要

The simultaneous isomorphous substitution of Al(III) and P(V) ions, in an aluminophosphate framework, with redox active Co(III) and Ti(IV) metal ions, generates highly active single-site heterogeneous catalysts that exhibit considerable synergy, compared to their corresponding monometallic analogues, in the catalytic epoxidation of olefins.
