Popis: The stabilization of isolated grafted Fe3+ sites on siliceous supports is investigated by a comparative study of crystalline versus amorphous materials. Our synthetic approach treats crystalline delaminated zeolite DZ-1 and amorphous silica (SiO2) with an aqueous NaFeEDTA cation precursor complex, to result in grafting of isolated Fe3+ sites via covalent attachment to support hydroxyl groups. Thermogravimetric analysis and UV–visible spectroscopy demonstrate the complete detachment of chelating EDTA ligand upon Fe3+ grafting on both supports. Before calcination treatment, both Fe/DZ-1 and Fe/SiO2 have similar UV–visible spectral features, with absorption bands at 208–225 and 257 nm, characteristic of framework Fe3+ sites in zeolites. Calcination does not affect the UV–visible spectroscopic characteristics of Fe/DZ-1 but changes the spectrum of Fe/SiO2 to a single absorption band at 260 nm, indicating better thermal stability of Fe3+ sites in Fe/DZ-1 as compared to Fe/SiO2. This stability persists for Fe/D...
