“…Various metal heteroatoms, such as Cr [22], Mn [23], Ti [24,25], Fe [26], Zr [27], Ga [28,29], Al [30,31], and V [32], have been incorporated in the framework of SBA-15, and most of them have been tested for their catalytic activities in a certain reaction. According to the literatures, metal heteroatom-containing aluminophosphate, ZSM-5, MCM-41, MCM-48 or small pore mesoporous silica has been used as catalyst for cyclohexane oxidation [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. However, to the best of our knowledge, no research has been reported on using heteroatom-incorporated SBA-15 as catalyst for the selective oxidation of cyclohexane with O 2 in a solvent-free system.…”
