Abstract

Metal–salen intercalated α-zirconium phosphate, abbreviated as {α-ZrP·M(Salen), where M = Fe(III) and Mn(II)} was synthesized insitu by the flexible ligand method. The structure of resulting compounds was characterized by BET surface area, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and UV–visible spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of α-ZrP·M(Salen) was tested for the oxidation of cyclohexane using dry tert-butylhydroperoxide as an oxidant. In the oxidation reaction, cyclohexane was oxidized to cyclohexanol (A), cyclohexanone (K) and some unidentified products. It was found that the reactivity of α-ZrP·Fe(Salen) is greater than α-ZrP·Mn(Salen) in the oxidation reaction. Influence of various reaction parameters viz. reaction temperature, catalyst concentration, substrate to oxidant molar ratio was studied using α-ZrP·Fe(Salen) catalyst to obtain maximum conversion (29.30%) of cyclohexane. The catalyst was reused for five cycles without significant loss of catalytic activity.
