Abstract
Alkali and alkaline earth metal ions (Na+, K+, Cs+, Mg2+) exchanged MCM-22 zeolites were prepared and subsequently palladium (2 wt.%; Pd) was dispersed on above exchanged MCM-22 zeolite materials. All the MCM-22 materials were systematically characterized by FTIR, powder X-ray diffraction, N2 sorption analysis and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of CO2. The XRD pattern and FTIR data confirmed the existence of the MCM-22 framework structure even after exchanging bulky metal ions and palladium loading. TPD studies using CO2 supports that the cesium and magnesium incorporated MCM-22 possess a strong and large number of basic sites. The alkali and alkaline-earth metal ions exchanged MCM-22 catalysts were explored for industrially important eugenol isomerisation, whereas the palladium containing MCM-22 materials were utilised for Heck coupling reaction of styrene with iodobenzene. The Cs-MCM-22 showed the best activity for the eugenol isomerization with the isoeugenol yield of 76%. The Cs/Pd-MCM-22 was shown as promising heterogeneous catalyst for Heck coupling reaction of styrene with iodobenzene and yield 99% stilbene. For both isomerization and Heck coupling reaction, the catalysts retain their activities even after several runs. Among different alkali and alkaline earth ion-exchanged MCM-22 materials, cesium containing MCM-22 was shown as a promising catalyst for isomerization of lignin-derived biomass model compound viz., eugenol. Subsequently, the palladium dispersed CsMCM-22 was found to be the potential catalyst for Heck coupling under ambient conditions.
