The use of organic molecules as templates for the synthesis of zeolites and molecular sieves as well as simple porous oxides has a long history. Although micellar and reverse micellar systems have often been used to synthesize finely divided silicas, their use as templates in the synthesis of mesoporous silicates and aluminosilicates with regular pore structure has occurred only recently. This represents a landmark event in molecular sieve technology and demonstrates how the propensity of organic molecules to form macromolecular ordered assemblies might be exploited to fashion uniform nanoscale inorganic oxide cavities. In this communication the authors report for the first time the synthesis of mesostructured vanadium oxide via a novel route that features the use of cetyltrimethy-lammonium (CTA) vanadate in alcoholic medium at ambient temperature. 32 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
