Abstract
•A [ZnCl2(N,N)] type complex was anchored on silica.•Decoration of PAMAM-G0-3 dendrimers was carried out with analogous metal pendants.•Both types of catalysts catalyzed the trans-esterification of neutral and acid soybean oil.
This work describes two strategies for immobilizing Zn(II) catalysts: anchorage of a [ZnCl2(N,N)] type complex on silica and decoration of PAMAM-G0-3 dendrimers with analogous metal pendants. Both types of catalysts were able to catalyze the trans-esterification of neutral and acid soybean oil, and could be easily recycled through filtration techniques.
