Immersion Calorimetry as a Tool To Evaluate the Catalytic Performance of Titanosilicate Materials in the Epoxidation of Cyclohexene

“…[51][52][53] Furthermore, in the absence of moisture the direct interaction of the olefin with the active sites on the surface is the rate-determining step with the reaction rate to the epoxide scaling with the concentration of olefins in the reaction mixture. 54,55 Since the titanosilicate materials all have similar active sites involved in catalysis (mainly exposed isolated titanium sites in predominantly tetrahedral coordination; see section 3.1), the interaction of the olefin with the catalytic surface seems to play a defining role in the final catalytic activity. This implies that learning more about this interaction could lead to important insight into the catalytic activity of the materials.…”
