High-activity heterogeneous catalysts prepared in one step from the mesophases of metallosurfactants

Surfactant Ru(II) complexes have been used to template mesoporous silicates using the true liquid crystal templating method, giving evenly dispersed, nanometer-sized ruthenium particles which show very high catalytic activity and selectivity in the hydrogenation of 1-hexene.
