A method is described for modifying a synthetic mesoporous crystalline material by contacting with a treatment composition M'X'Y'n wherein M' is an element of Groups IIA, IIIA, IVA, VA, VIA, VIIIA, IB, IIB, IVB, VB or VIB; X' is halide, hydride, al~oxide of C1-6, or acetate; Y' is X or phosphine, sulfide, carbonyl or cyano; and n = 1-5. The contacted crystalline material becomes functionalized and the functionalized material can be used as a sorbent or a catalyst component. |
