A new titanosilicate molecular sieve structurally analogous to MWW-type lamellar precursors (designated as Ti-YNU-1) was postsynthesized by adjusting the titanium content in the synthesis gel and washing the as-synthesized material with acid under refluxing conditions. The samples were characterized with XRD, ICP, TG/DTA, FTIR, UV–vis, and 29Si MAS NMR techniques as well as N 2, Ar, and H 2O adsorption experiments. It was indicated that compared with Ti-MWW, Ti-YUN-1 had more silanols in the structure and that its interlayer spacing was expanded by nearly 2.5 Å. In addition, the local environment of T 1 sites of the proposed structure of Ti-YNU-1 was also different from that of Ti-MWW. This led to a great increase in the pore openings connected to supercages. The formation of Ti-YNU-1 was highly dependent on the Si/Ti ratio in the synthesis gel and also might be related to the removal of about 80% templating molecules by acid treatment before calcination. Extensive evaluation of the catalytic performance of various titanosilicates for the oxidation of different cycloalkenes showed that Ti-YNU-1 behaved like a 12-membered ring (MR) zeolite. This is further confirmed by the results that a strong peak around 6.7 Å was present in the pore size distribution curve obtained from Ar adsorption for the Ti-YNU-1 sample but absent in that for the Ti-MWW sample, and that cyclohexene conversion increased but 1-hexene conversion decreased with increasing Si/Ti ratio. Compared with the other titanosilicate materials, Ti-YNU-1 showed high activity, selectivity, and stability in the liquid-phase epoxidation of bulky cycloalkenes with H 2O 2 as an oxidant. An investigation of the effect of several protic and aprotic solvents on the catalytic property of Ti-YNU-1 in the epoxidation of cyclohexene revealed that acetonitrile should be the solvent of choice considering both conversion and selectivity.
