New hydrotalcite-like anionic clays containing Zr⁴⁺ in the layers

Abstract

New hydrotalcite-like anionic clays containing Zr⁴⁺ in the brucite-like layers are synthesised by a simple coprecipitation technique; these materials show very interesting properties as catalysts for liquid-phase hydroxylation of phenol with H₂O₂.
