| Abstract | Magnesium oxide catalysts were used to investigate the influence of novel preparative techniques for surface site control on activity. Firstly, magnesium hydroxide was prepared under hydrothermal conditions with sodium dodecyl sulphate and either sodium hydroxide or a quaternary ammonium ion as morphological and surface controlling agents. Particles with a hexagonal, plate-like morphology were produced with varying dimensions relative to the concentrations of surfactant to ammonium ion. These materials were dehydrated at 420 °C for 2 hours and then characterised by nitrogen adsorption, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy and the surface hydroxyl density was measured via1H MAS NMR. Analysis of electron microscopy images of the resulting MgO materials indicted that the morphology of the precursor hydroxide was retained. The MgO materials were then used as catalysts for Knoevenagel condensation of benzaldehyde and ethyl cyanoacetate. The activity of the MgO samples was found to correspond to the surface hydroxyl density; higher activities (ca. 18 molprod kg−1 h−1) were observed for catalysts with a surface hydroxyl density of >1.3 mmol g−1. Knoevenagel condensation relies greatly on distribution of neighbouring –Mg2+ and –O2− sites, the catalysts with a higher density of potentially low coordination –O2− sites resulted in higher product yields. The hydroxyl density was found to be independent of surface area, such that the combination of precipitating agent and surfactant can effectively control crystal growth to tailor the basic active surface of MgO. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
