The study of catalyst recyclability and stability in any
catalytic process is very important. In this regard, the recy-
clability of the catalyst was tested by repeatedly conducting
benzyl alcohol oxidation, isolating and rinsing the catalyst,
and continuing the oxidation with fresh solutions of benzyl
alcohol. The results, given as a percent of the initial benzyl
oration of the catalyst possibly attributable to the formation
of coke-like species, the ZIF-9@Zeolite catalyst showed
no apparent deactivation for four catalytic cycles while
after that, a decrease in the catalytic activity was observed

In conclusion, we have shown that ZIF-9@Zeolite can be
eꢁectively used as a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for
the oxidation of several primary benzyl alcohols in the
presence of H O . The catalyst was stable under the reac-
tion conditions employed, so, ZIF-9@Zeolite materials
represent an attractive alternative to homogeneous cata-
lysts for similar oxidations. The reaction is simple, clean
and generates water as the only by-product.
