Titania-silica materials from the molecular precursor Ti[OSi(O{sup t}Bu){sub 3}]{sub 4}: Selective epoxidation catalysts
The tris(tert-butoxy)siloxy complex Ti[OSi(O{sup t}Bu){sub 3}]{sub 4} was pyrolytically converted at low temperatures to the theoretical yield of homogeneous TiO{sub 2}{center{underscore}dot}4SiO{sub 2} materials. The complex also serves as a soluble model for isolated, tetrahedral titanium atoms in a silica matrix. The molecular route to homogeneous titania-silica materials described here represents an alternative to the sol-gel method, affording materials with surface areas comparable to those of related aerogels and moderate-to-excellent activities for the epoxidation of cyclohexene.
