“…While the parent siliceous materials showed promise, their catalytic activity was limited due to their framework neutrality. This prompted researchers to focus on developing modified mesoporous silica materials by incorporating various transition and inner transition metals like Ti, V, Cr, Mn and Ce either through framework substitution or as support [ [38] , [39] , [40] , [41] ]. These modified materials have demonstrated exceptional activity in a wide range of organic transformations including oxidation of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons [ 42 ].…”
