UTL titanosilicate: An extra-large pore epoxidation catalyst with tunable textural properties

- UTL titanosilicate (Ti-UTL) was prepared.
- Ti-UTL was converted to related titanosilicates by ADOR process.
- Silica-titania pillaring concept was successfully applied producing Ti-IPC-1PITi.
- Ti-UTL showed activity similar to Ti-BEA in epoxidation of cyclooctene.
- Ti-IPC-1PITi is one of the most active catalysts for bulky substrates epoxidation.
