Tungstocobalate (Co III W 12 O 40 5- ) intercalated ZnAl-layered double hydroxide (ZnAl-CoW 12 ) was prepared via rehydration of calcined ZnAl-LDH under N 2 atmosphere.  Characterization by chemical analysis together with powder XRD, FT-IR, TG-DTA and UV-VIS DRS provided evidence of intercalation of Co III W 12 O 40 5- (58 wt. %) in the interlayer of LDH. The catalytic activity of ZnAl-CoW 12 was evaluated for hydrogen peroxide mediated decolourisarion of methyl orange and oxidation of benzaldehyde to benzoic acid under varying reaction conditions. ZnAl-CoW 12 was found effective for both the reactions and stable under the experimental conditions for repetitive use without any noticeable decrease in activity.
