Furthermore, the Ti-phenyl, Ti-phenyl@SiO2 and commercial anatase (TiO2) were applied as catalysts for the oxidation of alkenes such as 1 -dodecene, 1 -octene, and styrene.

The Ti-phenyl@SiO2 with Si/Ti mol ratio of 2 exhibits the highest catalytic performance for alkene oxidation, especially for styrene with 92% o f conversion and 99% of selectivity towards benzaldehyde. In addition, the Ti-phenol@SiO2(1) was the most active among the catalysts with 90% o f conversion and 99% o f selectivity towards benzaldehyde. Meanwhile, the Ti-thiophenol@SiO2(2 ) catalyst was the most active to produce benzaldehyde with the conversion of 80% and selectivity of 97%. The high catalytic activity shown by Ti-C@ SiO2 catalysts in the oxidation of styrene can be explained based on structural similarity of the phenyl group of Ti-phenyl@SiO2 catalysts with the styrene structure, and the easier access of the substrates to the Ti active sites due to the mesoporous silica shells. 2015-01 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/77948/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/77948/1/SyamsiAiniPFS2015.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:96377 phd doctoral Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Science Faculty of Science
