The as-synthesized catalysts were thoroughly characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance of silicon (Si-29 NMR) and nitrogen physisorption measurements. Significant effects of the structural and textural features of kenyaite and magadiite on catalyst activity in the Knoevenagel condensation were observed. The high catalytic activity and selectivity were ascribed to the cations incorporated into silicate layers, being Co3+ and Al3+ leached from their structures during the reaction. Er3+-containing kenyaite exhibited excellent catalytic activity in the Knoevenagel condensation, suggesting that the presence of silanol groups along with trivalent cation was responsible for the exceptional activity of the catalyst at mild conditions. The effects of catalyst loading, type of solvent and temperature on the catalytic properties demonstrated that a 100 mg of catalyst mass and BUT/CAE molar ratio of 1 in the presence of toluene at 90 degrees C were the best conditions for testing Er3+-containing kenyaite and magadiite catalysts. The affinity between Si and Er took place in kenyaite structure and this could explain the better performance of Er3+-containing kenyaite, since Er remained in the framework during the reaction. On the contrary, leaching of the erbium in magadiite was responsible for the lesser performance of the solid. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
