MWW zeolite MCM-56 with Al atoms on the surface was functionalized with Ti to produce pyramidal TiOH groups. This was carried out by removal of Al with nitric acid, calcination and treatment with titanium diisopropoxide bis(acetylacetonate) (Ti(acac)(2) (i-propoxide)(2), Ti(acac)(2)OiPr(2)). Up to 0.7% Ti was introduced. Using UV-Vis spectroscopy three types of Ti moieties were identified in the uncalcined materials tetrahedral in the framework, 5/6-coordinated Ti on the surface, presumably in the vacated pyramidal sites, and oxide-like clusters. The presence of TiOH on the surface was indicated by insitu measurement of UV-Vis spectra during calcination. It showed the band at 290nm, which disappeared at 500 degrees C, perhaps due to condensation with silanols. Catalytic oxidation tests were carried out with three samples containing 0.13, 0.36, and 0.70% Ti and methyl phenyl sulfide and cis-cyclooctene as model reactants. The study confirmed potential of the TiOH moieties in oxidation catalysis although their final form is not certain. Future studies will include increasing Ti content to enhance catalytic activity and better detection of this type of the Ti site.
