Nanoscopic tin-oxygen linings on mesoporous silica as a novel catalyst for organic hydrogen transfer reaction

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. Evidence suggested that highly reactive tin-oxygen overlayers were formed on the internal surface of the MCM-41 silica. The...
