13 Claims

1. A functionalized fibrous hierarchical zeolite comprising

a framework comprising aluminum atoms, silicon atoms, oxygen atoms, and a plurality of silanol groups comprising the silica atoms and the oxygen atoms, the framework further comprising a plurality of micropores and a plurality of mesopores, wherein

the functionalized fibrous hierarchical zeolite is functionalized with at least one terminal hydroxyl,

terminal organometallic functionalities are bonded to the oxygen atom of the plurality of silanol groups of the microporous framework by a nickel atom of the terminal organometallic functionalities, and

the nickel atom is bound to a ligand selected from the group consisting of cyclooctadiene (COD), cyclooctatetraene (COT), cyclododecatriene (CDT), or combinations thereof.
