Abstract
The modification of UiO-66 with urea and melamine were carried out using ZrCl4, benzene dicarboxylic acid and designated as U-B-Zr and M-B-Zr, followed by immobilization of vanadyl sulphate on U-B-Zr and M-B-Zr as U-B-Zr-VO-and M-B-Zr-VO, respectively. The prepared compounds as catalysts were characterized by XRD, BET, XPS, TGA, SEM, FTIR and CHN techniques. It was found that the prepared catalysts show moderate to high activity towards the epoxidation of some allyl alcohols such as trans-2-hexene-1-ol and 1-octen-3-ol and geraniol with 80%–100% conversions and 100% selectivity towards the formation of the corresponding epoxides. The prepared catalysts were also found to be reusable up four catalytic cycles without any appreciable loss in activity.
