Abstract

Mo complexes with Mo1–Mo4 nuclearities were grafted on mesoporous silica FSM‐16, and their catalytic performances were studied in the hydroxylation of benzene. A trinuclear Mo oxo complex grafted on FSM‐16 exhibits the highest catalytic activity in the hydroxylation of benzene to phenol using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant under the irradiation of UV‐light. The turnover numbers for phenol are over 700 at 300 K.
