Abstract
The development of ordered mesoporous solids is revised. Acid, base, and redox catalytic properties are presented together with their application for a series of organic reactions of fundamental and practical interest. Finally it is explained that it is possible to make use of the high surface and regular porosity of MCM–41 to prepare supported metals, and bifunctional catalysts. The above properties together with the presence of a large number of surface silanol groups allow the grafting of catalytically active transition metal complexes.
