Anatase TiO2 nanoparticles doped with Al or Fe have been synthesized via a modified Pechini method which allows us to reach high control in size and composition. Microstructural analysis confirms the good crystallinity of the doped anatase nanoparticles with average sizes around 5 nm and dopant cationic concentrations up to 30%. The anatase to rutile transition (ART) has been thermally driven and analyzed as a function of the doping. Thermo-diffraction measurements indicate that the phase transition can be either promoted or inhibited by Fe or Al doping, respectively. The influence of Al and Fe doping on the phase transition has been discussed by means of Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, with special attention paid to the role played by Ti3+ at the surface. The anatase phase has been stabilized up to temperatures above 900 °C by appropriate Al doping.

The incorporation of four Mn12 derivatives, namely [Mn12O12(O2CR)16(H2O)4] (R = CH3 (1), CH3CH2 (2), C6H5 (3), C6F5 (4)), into the hexagonal channels of the MCM-41 mesoporous silica has been studied. Only the smallest clusters 1 and 2, i.e. those with compatible size with the pores of MCM-41, could enter into the mesoporous silica. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis, HRTEM images and N2 adsorption–desorption isotherm experiments show that the well-ordered hexagonal structure of MCM-41 is preserved and that the Mn12 clusters are inside the pores. The magnetic properties of the MCM-41/2b nanocomposite material obtained in CH2Cl2 indicate that the structure of the cluster is maintained after incorporation on the MCM-41 walls, but some differences appear in the case of the MCM-41/1 and MCM-41/2a nanocomposite materials obtained in CH3CN. Calcination of the composite samples leads to materials with magnetic properties that are very different from those obtained after calcination of pristine 1 and 2. The incorporation of the Mn12 clusters inside the MCM-41 pores may induce the formation of new Mn–oxide nanoparticles after the loss of the carboxylate ligands. The incorporation of Mn12 derivatives into UVM-7, a mesoporous silica with a hierarchical pore system at two different length scales, gives rise to similar results.
