▎ 摘 要
Two novel molybdenum-based heterogeneous catalysts immobilized on dendrimer-functionalized graphene oxide via electrostatic interactions (Mo-1) or covalent bonding (Mo-2) are reported. The catalysts show excellent catalysis in epoxidation of alkenes with high conversion, better selectivity and good recyclability. The characteristics were identified by SEM, TEM (EDS-mapping), FT-IR, XRD, and XPS. The cause of the difference between the two catalysts is supported by DFT calculations.
