AbstractA new mesoporous hybrid material (denoted LP‐TEPPPO‐Mo) has been prepared by tethering [MoO2Cl2] onto mesoporous silica previously functionalised with phosphane oxide spacer ligands. The LP‐TEPPPO‐Mo material was tested in the liquid‐phase epoxidation of olefins [cis‐cyclooctene, (R)‐(+)‐limonene, trans‐2‐octene and 1‐octene] with tBuOOH, at 55 °C, and without a co‐solvent, giving at least 90 % selectivity to the corresponding epoxide at 36–77 % conversion: in the case of limonene, regioselectivity favours the epoxidation of the endocyclic double bond, giving mainly 1,2‐epoxy‐p‐menth‐8‐ene. The catalytic system based on a liquid–liquid biphasic system containing the homogeneous complex [MoCl2(O)2{OP(CH2CH3)(Ph)2}2] dissolved in the ionic liquid 1‐butyl‐4‐methylpyridinium tetrafluoroborate leads to lower epoxide selectivity (91 % at 64 % conversion) in the reaction of cyclooctene in comparison to that observed for LP‐TEPPPO‐Mo (100 % at 87 % conversion). The reused solid–liquid and liquid–liquid biphasic catalytic systems show partial loss of catalytic activity.
