Abstract

Hydroxyl-attached Sn species are highly dispersed on the surface of mesoporous silica (SBA-15) by the grafting of dimethyldichlorostannane followed by calcination to transform the methyl groups into hydroxyl groups (S–Sn–OH). S–Sn–OH has both Lewis and Bronsted acidic sites, resulting in superior catalytic activities in the acetalisation of glycerol.
