Influence of dopant substitution mechanism on catalytic properties within hierarchical architectures.

ABSTRACT: A range of hierarchically porous (HP) AlPO-5 catalysts, with isomorphously substituted transition metal ions, have been synthesized using an organosilane as a soft template. By employing a range of structural and spectroscopic characterization protocols, the properties of the dopant-substituted species within the HP architectures have been carefully evaluated. The resulting nature of the active site is shown to have a direct impact on the ensuing catalytic properties in the liquid-phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclic ketones.
