Tungsten-incorporated mesostructured silicates were successfully synthesized by evaporationinduced self-assembly (EISA) method. Tungsten loadings from 2.9 to 22.2 wt% were achievable, with the corresponding BET surface areas decreasing from 520-284 m 2 /g at increased W loading. The W-EISA samples displayed amorphous ordered pore structure with an average pore size distribution of 2.3-3.3 nm. Hydrated Isolated tetrahedral [WO 4 ] 2species and hydrated octahedral polytungstate species were identified from diffuse reflectance UV/Vis spectra under ambient conditions. Uniform distribution of W species, mostly located near the surface, was evident from XPS W 4f photoelectron image. At 450C and 1 atm, for the reaction of ethylene+2-butene metathesis to form propene, the W-EISA catalysts outperform either impregnated catalysts (WO 3 /SiO 2 and WO 3 /KIT-6) or one-pot synthesized W-KIT-6 catalyst, implying better W utilization in the W-EISA catalyst.
