Abstract

Two new classes of materials, which we developed and use in our catalytic research, are described. Metal phosphides are studied for their use as model compounds for hydrodenitrogenation catalysis. M41S type materials contain mesopores, which enhance diffusion and, thus, the effectiveness of zeolitic materials in liquid-phase reactions. After grafting with sulfonic acid groups, they are used as wide-pore solid acids.
