Abstract

Zinc monosubstituted Keggin heteropolyanion [PZnMo 2W 9O 39] 5- was electrostatically bound to nanocages of MIL-101 polymer matrix. The Zn-POM@MIL-101 catalyst was characterized by XRD, N 2 adsorption, atomic absorption (AAS), and FT-IR spectroscopic methods. The catalytic activity of the new composite material, Zn-POM@MIL-101, was assessed in the oxidation of alkenes using aqueous hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. Zn-POM@MIL-101/H 2O 2 catalytic system demonstrated good catalytic activity in the oxidation reactions. Zn-POM@MIL-101 was reusable for three catalytic cycles. While the MIL-101 matrix is an active catalyst in these oxidation reactions, the presence of Zn-POM significantly changed the selectivity and reaction times.
