The mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 was amino-functionalized using c-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. The obtained NH 2 -MCM-41 was then hydrophobic modified by methyltriethoxysilane, dimethyldiethoxysilane and trimethylethoxysilane, respectively. N,N 0 -Bis (salicylidene) ethylenediiminocobalt (Cosalen) was grafting into the modified MCM-41 through the complex effect of NH 2 group. The prepared Cosalen/(CH 3 ) n -NH 2 -MCM-41 (n = 0, 1, 2, 3) were characterized by the technique of FT-IR, XRD, N 2 adsorption-desorption, TG and so on. The catalytic performance of the Cosalen/(CH 3 ) n -NH 2 -MCM-41 (n = 0, 1, 2, 3) for the cyclohexane liquid-phase oxidation by oxygen were compared. The results showed the selectivity of the polar product cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone significantly improved with the introduction of methyl groups into the surface of the MCM-41 carrier. Using Cosalen/CH 3 -NH 2 -MCM-41 as catalyst, the conversion of cyclohexane is 8.3 % under mild conditions with oxygen in absence of solvent, only 0.1 % cyclohexyl hydroperoxide was among the products, the total selectivity of the cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol is up to 93.6 %. Graphical Abstract Methyltriethoxysilane, dimethyldiethoxysilane and trimethylethoxysilane were used to modify the hydrophobic performance of the mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41, the active component Cosalen was immobilized on the carrier through NH 2 group after amino-functionalized using c-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. In the solvent-free cyclohexane oxidation with molecular oxygen, the obtained Cosalen/CH 3 -NH 2 -MCM-41 as catalyst, the conversion of cyclohexane is 8.3 %, only 0.1 % cyclohexyl hydroperoxide was among the products, the total selectivity of the cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol is up to 93.6 %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
