Silica supported phosphomolybdic acid, an eco-friendly heterogeneous catalyst, has been found to be highly efficient for Friedlander synthesis of quinolines in excellent yields. A variety of ketones afford the quinolines smoothly. The catalyst can be easily recovered and reused.

A high density monolayer of diisocyanide on gold surface was utilized as a platform of supported Rh catalyst for selective 1,4-hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The catalyst exhibited high turnover numbers in a range of 50 000 to 150 000 per Rh atom and showed steady catalyst performance over six recycle usages.

Palladium on charcoal serves as an efficient and reusable solid supported catalyst for the Sonogashira coupling of aryl chlorides with terminal acetylenes in the presence of a bulky, electron-rich biphenyl type ligand (XPhos), without copper co-catalyst.

In this paper, 4,4ʹ-bipyridinium dichloride  supported SBA-15 (SBA@BiPy2+ 2Cl-) was used for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). This nanocomposite was shown to be an efficient heterogeneous ca...

Monometallic and bimetallic Ni and Co catalytic nanoparticles supported on Titanium dioxide (rutile phase) substrate were prepared by wet impregnation method. These nanoparicles were used as catalysts for synthesis of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) from acetylene decomposition at 700°C by the catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) technique. The nanomaterials (catalyst and CNTs) were...

Zirconia-supported Pd160 and bulk Pd160 were used as methane combustion catalysts for a reaction mixture containing 1% methane and 4% l8Oz in helium. The methane oxidation reaction was performed in pulsed experiments and the distribution of oxygen isotopes among the reaction products was monitored. The “0 content of the catalyst following labeled reaction mixture pulses was determined by cataly...
