2θ= 1.0–2.08, which is typical for disordered mesostructured materials. Such XRD patterns are similar to those of mesostructured MSU-1,[11] UTD-1,[12] HMS,[13] and KIT-1,[14] which have 3D networks of short, interconnected, wormholelike mesopores. High-resolution TEM images (Figure1a, inset) confirmed the presence of such uniform, 3D networks of short interconnected wormholelike channels. The diffusereflectance UV spectra (Figure 1 b) show that samples with Ti concentrations of up to 6.0 mol% exhibit absorbance peaks at 220–245 nm, which result from tetrahedrally coordinated Ti centers, that is, most of the titanium is present as isolated tetrahedral species in the silica matrix. The samples yielded no peaks above 300 nm, which indicates the absence of any bulk titania. The sample with the highest titanium concentration (8 mol%) shows two clear peaks, one at 235 nm due to tetrahedrallly coordinated titanium, and another at 272 nm, attributable to higher (5-, 6-) coordinate Ti. The XPS analysis of titanosilicates with 2–6 mol% titanium content showed that the binding energy (BE) of the Ti 2p3/2 core level is about 460.0 eV, which indicates tetrahedral coordination of completely isolated Ti sites in the silica lattice.[15] However, the shift of the BE to 459.3 eV at higher Ti content (8 mol%) indicates incomplete isolation of Ti sites for high Ti content.[16] The BE is about 458.5 eV for aggregated Ti with octahedral coordination.[16] The BET surface area, Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) pore diameter, and mesopore volume were 838–896 m2 gÀ1, 7.1–9.2 nm, and 1.0–1.4 cm3 gÀ1, respectively. Gold nanoparticles were deposited on all the supports by the DP method. The gold loading on the resultant materials was 0.3–0.4 wt%, and the average size of the well-dispersed Au nanoparticles was 3.0 Æ 1.0 nm. An EXAFS/XANES analysis showed that the Au nanoparticles were completely metallic in nature.
