In a new approach, chromium (III) tetraaza dioxo ligand was grafted onto functionalized SBA-15 after four step reactions by using coordinating ability of anchored amino functionalized SBA-15. After the termination of each step, the obtained product was characterized by FT-IR, low-angle X-ray diffraction (LA-XRD), N{sub 2} adsorption–desorption isotherms (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET)–Barret–Joyner–Halenda (BJH)) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and used as catalyst for the efficient and regioselective alcoholysis of styrene oxide to 2-alkoxy-1-phenylethanol product at ambient temperature. - Graphical abstract: Chromium (III) tetraaza dioxo ligand was grafted onto functionalized SBA-15 using coordinating ability of anchored amino functionalized SBA-15. Preparation of the catalyst is depicted in Scheme 1. - Highlights: • Dioxo tetraazachromium macrocyclic complex grafted into the SBA-15-NH{sub 2} channels. • The bond is created by coordinating ability of anchored amino functionalized SBA-15. • The prepared nanocatalyst has superior activity in the alcoholysis of styrene oxide. • The catalyst is reusable at ambient temperature for the mentioned reaction.
