In this study, we report a simple method for the synthesis of zinc aluminophosphate (ZnAlPO<sub>4</sub>)nanoparticles possessing stable possessing ANA-zeotype and LEV crystalline structures. The synthesised nanoparticles exhibit considerable catalytic activity towards selective hydroxylation of toluene. The LEV structures are obtained by hydrothermal synthesis at 150–170 °C, while the ANA structure is obtained just by a simple room-temperature mixing of the ingredients. The synthesised ANA-zeotype nanoparticles exhibit considerable catalytic activity towards selective hydroxylation of toluene.

In this study, we report a simple method for the synthesis of zinc aluminophosphate (ZnAlPO<sub>4</sub>)nanoparticles possessing stable possessing ANA-zeotype and LEV crystalline structures. The synthesised nanoparticles exhibit considerable catalytic activity towards selective hydroxylation of toluene. The LEV structures are obtained by hydrothermal synthesis at 150–170 °C, while the ANA structure is obtained just by a simple room-temperature mixing of the ingredients. The synthesised ANA-zeotype nanoparticles exhibit considerable catalytic activity towards selective hydroxylation of toluene.
