New Zn-based catalysts are described that act as heterogenized or heterogeneous catalysts, with easy recovery and re-utilization with a limited or even zero Zn-leaching. For stabilizing in the heterogeneous form the catalytically active Zn centre, mixed oxides, ZIF-8 and Zn-tethered systems have been synthesized and found to sensibly reduce the leaching of Zn in solution with respect to ZnO, making possible their recovery and reuse. ZIF-8 can be used for long time of reaction, reaching high DEC yields (comparable or higher than those obtained with ZnO) without any significant loss of zinc.

Abstract

New Zn-based catalysts are described that act as heterogenized or heterogeneous catalysts, with easy recovery and re-utilization with a limited or even zero Zn-leaching. For stabilizing in the heterogeneous form the catalytically active Zn centre, mixed oxides, ZIF-8 and Zn-tethered systems have been synthesized and found to sensibly reduce the leaching of Zn in solution with respect to ZnO, making possible their recovery and reuse. ZIF-8 can be used for long time of reaction, reaching high DEC yields (comparable or higher than those obtained with ZnO) without any significant loss of zinc.
