Heteropolyacids aided rapid and convenient syntheses of highly ordered MCM-41 and MCM-48: exploring the accelerated process by 29Si MAS NMR and powder X-ray diffraction studies.
A rapid and convenient route is described for the synthesis of mesoporous MCM-41 and MCM-48 materials using heteropolyacids as novel promoters, and a probable mechanism for the rapid nucleation is proposed based on HSAB theory.
