title: New basic mesoporous silica catalyst obtained by ammonia grafting.
abstract: NH3-treated mesoporous silica (FSM-16) contains SiNH2 sites which exhibit basic catalytic activity for Knoevenagel condensation; SiNH2 and SiOH pair sites formed at lower NH3-treatment temperatures exhibit higher turnover frequencies (TFs) in comparison with SiNH2 single sites.
