The targeted synthesis and characterization of a single type of isolated zirconium centers in high surface area silicate building block matrices is described.  Catalysis results for these nanostructured, single-site, heterogeneous catalysts in selective oxidation reactions such as epoxidation of olefins and oxidation of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol is also described.
