Zirconium (benzyldiethylammoniomethylphosphonate chloride)phosphate Zr(HPO₄)₂-x (O₂PCH₂N⁺Et₂CH₂ph·Cl^-)x·H₂O, (0.25 < x < 0.75, ZBEPC-ZP) were prepared for the first time and characterized by IR and elemental analyses. ZBEPC-ZP catalyzed some typical PTC reactions in L/S/L phases were carried out to give good results. ZBEPC-ZP can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and recovered about 70-100%, and can be reused and did not show any change in activity after 10 cycles.
