Pore size effects in the pyrolysis of 1,3-diphenylpropane confined in mesoporous silicas.
A new method for derivatizing mesoporous silicas, SBA-15 and MCM-41, with a substituted phenol is described, and pore confinement and surface curvature are shown to impact the reaction rate and product selectivity for the pyrolysis of surface-immobilized 1,3-diphenylpropane.
