Hydrodechlorination of polychlorobenzenes and polychlorinated aliphatic compounds under mild conditions by Pd and Rh ions or their complexes intercalated in γ-zirconium phosphate

Polychlorinated aliphatic and aromatic compounds are effectively hydrodehalogenated under mild conditions using Pd(II), Rh(III) or their complexes with 2,2′-bipyridyl or 1,10-phenanthroline intercalated into γ-zirconium phosphate.
