Synthesis, Characterization and Catalytic Performance of a Novel Picolinic Acid-12-Molybdophosphoric Acid Hybrid Catalyst

Abstract

2 ] coordination moiety, the protonated HPI and the lattice water molecules. Then PI-HPM was employed as heterogeneous catalyst for esterification reaction to evaluate its acid-catalytic activity. The complex exhibited high activity and good durability in reaction mixtures, indicating that it was a promising heterogeneous acid catalyst for esterification that including the conversion of oleic acid to oleates.
