Tuning of the textural features and acidic properties of sulfated mesoporous lanthana-zirconia solid acid catalysts for alkenylation of diverse aromatics to their corresponding α-arylstyrenes

Tuning of the textural features and acidic properties of sulfated mesoporous lanthana-zirconia solid acidsresults in potential catalyst for the industrial production of α-arylstyrenes through clean and atom efficient alkenylation of diverse aromatics with phenylacetylene.
