Nk. Mal et al., SN-ZSM-12, A NEW, LARGE-PORE MTW TYPE TIN-SILICATE MOLECULAR-SIEVE - SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND CATALYTIC PROPERTIES IN OXIDATION REACTIONS, Catalysis letters, 33(3-4), 1995, pp. 387-394
A new large pore tin-silicate analogue of zeolite ZSM-12 (MTW topology
) with Si/Sn molar ratio > 70 has been synthesized hydrothermally usin
g a new template, hexamethylene bis(benzyl dimethyl ammonium hydroxide
). This material exhibits an expansion in unit cell volume (XRD), an I
R band at 970 cm(-1) and a charge transfer band at 205 nm in the UV-Vi
s region indicating the presence of Si-O-Sn units with Sn4+ centers in
T-d configuration. Sn-ZSM-12 catalyzes the oxidation of phenol, m-cre
sol and m-xylene using dilute H2O2 as an oxidizing agent.
