Novel mesoporous silica-perfluorosulfonic acid hybrids as strong heterogeneous Brønsted catalysts.
Perfluorinated sulfonic acids have been immobilised into mesoporous silica frameworks by a one-step process, representing the first example of the successful incorporation of charged silanes using this route, and have been shown to be excellent catalysts for Brønsted acid catalysed transformations.
