Synthesis, characterization and catalytic activities of μ–oxo-bridged binu…

Abstract. Fe3+ bipyridine complexes were successfully anchored on the inner surface of the mesopores of SBA-15 and compared with those immobilized on the surface of SiO2. FT-IR, ESR, and XAFS measurements were used to characterize the structure of the formed μ–oxo-bridged binuclear Fe bipyridine complexes inside the mesopores of SBA-15, which were observed to be the active species for th…
