This paper reports a new route for the preparation of layered alpha-zirconium phosphate (a-ZrP)-supponed metalloporphyrin MnTMPyp.MnTMPyP was intercalated into a-ZrP using a-ZrP.BA (i.e.pre-intercalated buitylamine was arranged by a monolayer mode in a-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.
