A series of Zr-Al-MWW zeolites with different Zr state and layer-stacking structure are successfully synthesized via direct grafting zirconocene dichloride onto the external silanols of three kinds of MWW zeolites,i.e.MCM-22 with multilayered structure,ITQ-2(through layer delaminated route)and OL-MWW(by direct hydrothermal synthesis)with oligolayered structure.The structure,porosity and state of grafted Zr species are distinctly different among the three Zr-Al-MWW zeolites.Zr-OL-MWW possesses the highest content of single Zr atoms with an ideal micro-meso-macro pore system,while Zr-MCM-22 and Zr-ITQ-2 contain two kinds of Zr species(ZrO2 clusters and single Zr atoms)coexisting in various proportions.The high dispersion of single Zr atoms on OL-MWW can be assigned to the large amount of external silanols of OL-MWW.The as-prepared three bi-functional Zr-Al-MWW zeolites are used for the cascade Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley(MPV)reduction and etherification(ETH)reaction.Among them,Zr-OL-MWW shows dramatically higher conversion of cinna-maldehyde and yield of 1-cinnamyl 2-propyl ether than Zr-MCM-22 and Zr-ITQ-2,owing to the higher catalytic activity of Lewis acid centers from single Zr atoms,as well as more integrated framework Al sites as Br0nsted acid centers with good accessibility.This study offers a simple and efficient strategy to construct Lewis-Br0nsted acidic zeolites with exposed heteroatom sites and integrated framework structure,which will provide especial potential in the catalytic conversion of macromolecules.
