The ruthenium complex Ru(terpyridine)(2,6‐pyridinedicarboxylate) was successfully grafted onto MCM‐41 using a multi‐step grafting method. The immobilized ruthenium complex was characterized thoroughly using Fourier transform infrared, Raman, UV–visible diffuse reflectance and energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopies, X‐ray diffraction, N 2 adsorption, scanning electron microscopy , thermogravimetric analysis and inductively coupled plasma analysis. This immobilized ruthenium complex showed excellent performance in the oxidation of various secondary alcohols to their corresponding ketones with tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide as oxidant under solvent‐free conditions, and had the advantages of easy recovery and good reusability.
