A new Fe(II) Schiff base complex anchored on mont-K10 (Fe@imine-mont-K10) was synthesized and extensively characterized by FTIR, powder X-ray diffraction, SEM-EDX, TEM, ESR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), BET surface area measurement, solid state Si-29 NMR and ICP-AES analysis. The catalytic activity of the complex was investigated for hydrogenation of ketones. The results indicated that it exhibited good catalytic activity for hydrogenation of aromatic as well as aliphatic ketones in i-PrOH/CH3CN (1:1) using Na-i-OPr as base at 80 degrees C resulting in moderate to excellent isolated yields (51-99%) of their corresponding products. The catalyst shows good reusability. [GRAPHICS] .
