Synthesis of orderly nanoporous aluminophosphate and zirconium phosphate materials and their catalytic applications

Abstract

Amorphous alumino phosphate (AP) and zirconium phosphate (ZP) materials possessing an ordered nanoporosity have been successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method using a P123 block co-polymer as the structure directing agent. The materials exhibited excellent catalytic activity towards selective alkylation of phenol with cyclohexanol, where AP showed as high as 100% selectivity to produce the industrially important O-alkylation product, while the corresponding ZP selectively produced a C-alkylation product (93% selectivity).
