Abstract
An array of magnetically recoverable beta-zeolites exchanged with late transition metals ( Pd, Fe and Ir) have been synthesized and fully characterized and had their catalytic activity evaluated on the conversion of several bio-derived compounds to other value-added platform chemicals. The nature of the transition metals exchanged in the zeolite matrix and the significant effect of reaction conditions such as temperature, time and solvent usage on both the conversion and selectivity of the process are delineated.
