| Description |
Hydromagnesite micro-sheets were prepared from MgCl(2) by hydrothermal process. Calcination of the hydromagnesite sheets at 450 degrees C in N(2) for 5 h produced porous MgO sheets with similar morphology. The MgO sheets were of rectangular shape with 0.5-1 mu m in wall length and 4-5 nm thick. The MgO sheets function as a strong heterogeneous base catalyst for the Claisen-Schmidt condensation of benzaldehyde with acetophenone giving 99% conversion in 5 h due to large surface area (234 m(2)/g) and presence of numerous basic sites of different strength.
