MoO3-based materials are known to be appropriate catalysts for the heterogeneous metathesis of light olefins. Classical preparation methods involve the deposition of a Mo oxide phase on the surface of preformed support via impregnation, grafting or thermal spreading. An alternative sol–gel approach for the elaboration of Mo-based catalysts is presented in this article. Mesoporous ternary Si–Al–Mo mixed oxides are prepared in one step, via non-hydrolytic condensation of chloride precursors in non-aqueous media. After calcination, effective catalysts with very good textures and highly dispersed surface molybdenum species are obtained. The Si/Al ratio influences both the texture and the acidity of the materials, which significantly affects the propene self-metathesis activity. The activity also increases with the MoO3 content. The best catalysts with optimized composition significantly outperform the catalysts prepared by other methods.
