In this work, a new method of a series of ion liquids (ILs) 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [Cnmim]Cl (n=2, 4, 6, 8) intercalation into layered zirconium phosphates was investigated. It was found that the α-ZrP·2BA (i.e. pre-intercalated BA was arranged in a bilayer mode in the galleries of α-ZrP) was a suitable host for intercalation ILs: ILs was inserted through exchanging pre-intercalated BA. And the intercalation orientation was investigated by use of X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments and molecular modeling calculation.

This paper reports a new route for the preparation of layered alpha-zirconium phosphate (α-ZrP)-supported metalloporphyrin MnTMPyP. MnTMPyP was intercalated into α-ZrP using α-ZrP·BA (i.e.pre-intercalated bultylamine was arranged by a monolayer mode in α-ZrP) as a starting material. The catalytic activity of the supported material for homovanillic acid (HVA) oxidation was investigated. The results showed a promising layered material-supported catalyst in catalytic system.
