Popis: The development of new functional catalytic materials prepared via appropriate chemical modification of mesoporous silica SBA-15, MCM-41 or carbon nanomaterials CMK-3, are presented. Their synthesis has been carried out via two synthetic approaches: (a) a two steps procedure which includes grafting of the Schiff base ligand 1,3-bis[3-aza-3-(1-methyl-3-oxobut-1-enyl)-prop-3-en-1-yl]-2-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-1,3-imidazolidine (L) onto the suppors and subsequent metalation of the so-formed hybrid material, and (b) an one step procedure which allows covalent grafting of the entire [Mn II -Schiff base] catalyst onto the carbonaceous support. The resulting single-site heterogeneous catalysts were characterized and evaluated for alkene epoxidation with H 2 O 2 in the presence of CH 3 COONH 4 as additive. They are efficient and selective towards formation of epoxides. The highest TONs have been achieved by L@MCM-41-Mn II and Mn II -L@CMK-3 . Moreover, Mn II -L@CMK-3 is operative for a second use and kinetically very fast, demonstrating remarkably high TOFs 65–634 h −1 that is correlated to its practically zero porosity. Based on the present data, the textural features of the obtained catalysts are discussed in correlation with their catalytic performance.
