nanocrystalline sio2–hclo4, as a newly reported catalyst, has been used as an efficient and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of pyrimidine derivatives. the procedure can be successfully applied to the efficient synthesis of mono substituted pyrimidine derivatives, using triethyl orthoformate, ammonium acetate, methyl ketone derivatives. in practice, this method is a combination of a satisfac...

In this research an efficient synthesis of a novel nanocomposite including SiO2@(3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane-coated cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanocomposite has been reported by three step method. The structure and magnetic characterization of Co3O4@SiO2@NH2 have been done by using various spectroscopic analyses which include FT-IR, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmissi...

Rh-MoOx/SiO2 is an effective heterogeneous catalyst for selective hydrogenation of amino acids to amino alcohols in a water solvent. MoOx modification of Rh drastically enhanced the activity and improved the selectivity and ee. Various amino alcohols were obtained in high yields (90-94%) with complete retention of configuration.

A new type of spindle-shaped nanoscale yolk/shell magnetic stirring bar containing noble metal nanoparticles was prepared. The as-synthesized Pd-Fe@meso-SiO2 not only showed impressive activity and stability as a heterogeneous catalyst in a macroscopic flask system, but also acted as an efficient nanoscale magnetic stir bar in a microscopic droplet system.

In this work, ZnO/SiO2 nanoparticles were prepared using sol-gel method, and platinum particles were loaded on ZnO/SiO2 nanoparticles by photoreductive method. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The XRD patterns showed that the zinc oxide samples have a wurtzite structure (hexagonal phase...

A nitrogen ligand, i.e. 1,3-di-(o-aminophenoxy)-2-propyl propargyl ether (DPPE), has been synthesized and characterized. Magnetic mesoporous silica composite (MNP@SiO2-SBA) was obtained via embedding magnetite nano-particles (MNPs) between SBA-15 channels. DPPE palladium dichloride (MNP@SiO2-SBA-DPPE-Pd(II)) then prepared click chemistry fully The Hiyama reaction conditions including solvent, a...

Selective area growth of carbon nanotubes (CNT) has been used to control the diameter of CNTs. Narrow lines of SiO2 (12−60 nm) are formed at the cleaved face of a Si/SiO2/Si multilayer structure. CNTs are then grown by a chemical vapor deposition process with a ferrocene/xylene/ H2/Ar mixture at 700 °C. CNTs are observed to grow only on the exposed SiO2 surface at the edge of the “mesa” structu...

The effect of nanostructured supports on the activity of Rh catalysts was studied by comparing the catalytic performance of nanoand bulk-oxide supported Rh/ZnO, Rh/SiO2 and Rh/TiO2 systems in 1-hexene hydroformylation. The highest activity with 100% total conversion and 96% yield of aldehydes was obtained with the Rh/nano-ZnO catalyst. The Rh/nano-ZnO catalyst was found to be more stable and ac...

We treated silica with tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane, B(C6F5)3, to create borane-functionalized support, SiO2–B(C6F5)3 which was then used as a support and co-catalyst for the in situ activated dichloro-zirconocene (Cp2ZrCl2/TIBA) and dimethyl-zirconocene catalyst systems (Cp2Zr(CH3)2) for ethylene polymerization. The surface modifications of SiO2– B(C6F5)3 was investigated by SEM–EDX, FTIR and...
