	abstract = {<p>Inorganic-organic hybrid materials based on functionalized silica and carbon were synthesized by anchoring molybdovanadophosphoric acid (H-5[PMo10V2O40]center dot 32.5H(2)O) onto amine-functionalized SBA-15, ethane-bridged SBA-15 and mesoporous carbon, respectively. Small angle X-ray diffraction, N-2 sorption analysis, HRTEM, SEM, IFT-IR, CP-MAS NMR were used to diagnose the mesoporous structure of inorganic-organic hybrid materials. The structural integrity of molybdovanadophosphoric acid has been found to be retained after immobilization over mesoporous materials. These inorganic-organic hybrid materials were tested in the environmentally friendly oxidation of 2-methylnaphthalene (2MN) with 30\%, aqueous hydrogen peroxide. Molybdovanadophosphoric acid containing mesoporous organosilica hybrid material (ethane-bridged SBA-15) exhibited higher catalytic activities in the oxidation of 2MN to give a clean product 2-methy-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione vitamin K3 precursor), because of the improved hydrophobicity of the material. The correlation between structural properties and catalytic activities of these hybrid materials has been well addressed in our present studies. (c) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Metal-support interfaces play a very important role in heterogeneous catalysis. The interfacial interactions not only are responsible for stabilizing the necessary oxidation state to facilitate the reaction but also enhance the stability of the catalyst system. Nano dispersion of Ni on mesoporous nitrogen-rich carbon material has been achieved using two different synthesis methods. It was observed that nickel (0) gets stabilized by strong interfacial interaction with the nitrogen atoms of the support material, and the material was found to be very economic and efficient for the conversion of HMF to DMF in aqueous medium. The material shows \&gt;= 99\% conversion to 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural (HMF) within 6 h of reaction with 98.7\% DMF selectivity. A unique correlation between synthesis methods and particle sizes with catalytic performance has been observed for these newly developed materials. Furthermore, a DFT calculation has been performed to predict the reaction mechanism. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.</p>},
