There is provided a process for preparing a zirconium-based metal organic framework (Zr-MOF), the process comprising the steps (i) preparing a reaction mixture comprising zirconium ions, sulfate ions and at least one organic linker compound in an aqueous solvent; and (ii) heating the reaction mixture from step (i).

Process for preparing a zirconium-based metal organic framework

The invention provides novel Zr MOFs, in particular compounds having a surface area of at least 1020 m/g or if functionalized, having a surface area of at least 500 m/g.

Metal organic framework compounds

The present invention relates to a catalyst comprising at least one metal loaded on a hydrotalcite-based carrier material which has the following formula in its uncalcined form: MM(A)(OH)*xHO, wherein Mis at least one divalent metal; and Mis at least one trivalent metal; A is an n-valent anion, n is 1 or 2 and a and b are positive numbers, a&#x3e;b. When said at least one metal is selected from the group VIII of the periodical system of the elements a useful (de)hydrogenation catalyst is achieved.

Catalysts consisting of metals on hydrotalcite-based carrier materials, and method for the preparation thereof

The present invention relates to a new catalyst support material comprising a mixed oxide consisting essentially of a divalent metal and a trivalent metal in a substantially homogeneous phase, the mixed oxide being a calcination product of a hydrotalcite-like phase calcinated at a temperature of about 700-1200&deg; C., wherein the divalent metal/trivalent metal molar ratio is greater than or equal to 2. The invention also relates to a process of preparing the support. The invention further provides a catalyst for dehydrogenation which includes a transition metal selected from the first row of transition metals of the periodic table and/or a Group VIII metal impregnated on the new catalyst support material. The invention also provides a process for dehydrogenation of light alkanes using the catalyst.
