Abstract

The system Fe2O3/MCM-41, with high iron dispersion, was synthesized in order to introduce Lewis acid sites into the MCM-41 structure. Two calcination atmospheres (inert and oxidant) were used to produce iron nanoclusters with different structural properties. Besides, a silylation treatment was realized on both solids with the aim of neutralizing the Brönsted acidity associated with the MCM-41 silanol groups. The samples were characterized by ...
