This paper purports to review catalysis, particularly the organocatalysis and its origin, key trends, challenges, examples, scope, and importance. The definition of organocatalyst corresponds to a low molecular weight organic molecule which in stoichiometric amounts catalyzes a chemical reaction. In this review, the use of the termheterogenized organocatalystwill be exclusively confined to a catalytic system containing an organic molecule immobilized onto some sort of support material and is responsible for accelerating a chemical reaction. Firstly, a brief description of the field is provided putting it in a green and sustainable perspective of chemistry. Next, research findings on the use of organocatalysts on various inorganic supports including nano(porous)materials, nanoparticles, silica, and zeolite/zeolitic materials are scrutinized in brief. Then future scope, research directions, and academic and industrial applications will be outlined. A succinct account will summarize some of the research and developments in the field. This review tries to bring many outstanding researches together and shows the vitality of the organocatalysis through several aspects.

ZSM-5 zeolite was synthesized by sourcing silica from wheat husk ash and was converted into its protonated form following careful, conventionally accepted ion-exchange method and calcinations. The H-ZSM-5 zeolite (Si/Al ratio = 30) prepared was appropriately characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, TG-DTA, CV, and so forth, and evaluated as recyclable catalyst in selective organic transformations including three- and four-component reactions. The catalytic activity of the zeolite sample supposedly relates to increased density of the accessible acid sites.

The novel cobalt incorporated nickel phosphate, (CoNiPO4), has been synthesized from aqueous system with triethyl amine (TEA) as an organic template using the microwave assisted reaction system under weak basic conditions. Among various factors used for synthesis, the pH of the reactant mixture and homogeneous heating under microwave could be the decisive factor to form the cobalt incorporated microporous VSB-n type nickel phosphate with novel structural parameters and unique stacked sheet like morphology. Its ability to perform as heterogeneous catalyst was discovered in the aerial oxidation of ethylbenzene and liquid phase oxidation of styrene using aq. hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent.
