Abstract

This chapter focuses on the synthesis of mesoporous manganosilicate materials Mn-M41 S, having hexagonal (Mn-MCM-41), cubic (Mn-MCM-48) and lamellar (Mn-MCM-L) structures, at a low surfactant/silica ratio (0.12), and present a preliminary account on the location of the Mn2+ cations as obtained from Q-band EPR spectroscopy. It shows that the addition of Mn ions induces the formation of the cubic phase also at a low surfactant/Si ratio (0.12), and that by the variation the base content of the gel, one can control the structure formed. Mesoporous manganosilicate molecular sieve, Mn-M41 S, having hexagonal (Mn-MCM-41), cubic (Mn-MCM-48), lamellar (Mn-MCM-L) structure, were synthesized in low surfactant/Si ratio (0.12) and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), themogravimetric analysis (TGA) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The phase transformations trends: hexagonal ∼ lamellar ∼ cubic -∼ hexagonal or hexagonal hexagonal, lamellar mixture ∼ cubic ∼ lamellar were observed by variations of the base or acid content of the gel or reaction temperature respectively.
