title = "Surface properties of mesoporous Ti-MCM-48 and their modifications produced by silylation",
abstract = "The catalytic activity of Ti-MCM-48 catalysts may be improved by increasing the hydrophobic character of the surface by a silylation post-treatment with hexamethyldisilazane (HDMS) as silylating agent. In this way the poisoning of the catalysts is noticeably decreased. The silylation procedure led to the transformation of silanols, Si(OSi)3(OH), into Si(OSi)3[OSi(CH3)3], which was confirmed by 29Si-MAS-NMR and diffuse reflectance (DR) UV-Vis spectroscopies.",
