12-Tungstophosphoric heteropolyacid anions (denoled PW12) have been success
fully immobilised on chemically modified mesoporous silica FSM-16 (denoted
FSM-16((m))). The complex PW12/FSM-16((m)) was characterized by IR, XRD, sp
ectrum NMR and CV, The results show the framework of FSM-16 is retained upo
