Nanoscopic tin oxide films on mesoporous silica as novel catalysts for hydrogen transfer reactions

Deposition of tin-oxygen species on mesoporous silica (MCM-41) was achieved via chemical reaction of SnEt4 vapour with surface silanol groups followed by heat treatment in air. At low Sn loading, EXAFS studies indicate six Sn-O interactions at an average distance of 2.043 angstrom and Sn-Si interact...
