Abstract

The nanostructured mesoporous silica MCM-41 materials with different amounts of manganese have been synthesized under basic conditions at room temperature. The characteristics of the Mn-containing mesoporous samples were investigated by XRD, FTIR, N2 adsorption, 29Si MAS NMR and HREM techniques. It has been shown that the (100) peak intensity of XRD patterns became weakened and the specific surface area of materials decreased monotonously with the increase of Mn contents. FTIR results indicated that Mn ions could be incorporated into the Si-O framework and lead to the vibration of Si-O-Mn bond. 29Si MAS NMR results suggested that the values of [SiO4] tetrahedra in the framework decreased with the increase of Mn ions addition, resulting in the decrease of Q4/Q3 ratio. It could be seen from HREM images that nanostructured framework of Mn-modified mesoporous silica was distorted, and lamellar structure co-existed with hexagonal structure in some area.
