Here we report the catalytic behaviour of zeolite-Y exchanged with Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes represented as Z-Y-Cu, Z-Y-Co, Z-Y-Ni and Z-Y-Zn for the decomposition of 30%H2O2. The metal content was determined by ICP-AES method. These zeolite-Y based compounds are stable and recyclable under present reaction conditions. Amongst them, Z-Y-Cu showed higher catalytic activity ( 8 %) and Z-Y-Co showed least catalytic activity (3 %). The reaction condition was optimized by varying the different parameters, amount of catalyst, substrate and catalyst ratio, temperature, solvent and amount of H2O2.. The order of decomposition of H2O2 is found to be as follow: Cu- Z-Y- > Ni-Z-Y >Zn- Z-Y > Co-Z-Y.
