This review is focused on the strategies and designs of magnetic nanostructured catalysts showing the enhanced and sustainable catalytic performances for the heterogeneous reduction of nitoaromatics. Magnetic catalysts have the benefits of easy recovery and reuse after the completion of the reactions and green chemical processes. Magnetic separation, among the various procedures for removing ca...

A new class of dual fluorescent chemosensors for nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) based on phosphonated pyrene derivatives is reported, showing high selectivity towards trinitrotoluene (TNT). The strong intermolecular interactions (π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding) allow high fluorescence quenching with visual detection in short response times.

Along with the increasing requirement for efficient organic conversions using green chemistry, there is a need to develop highly and eco-friendly catalytic reaction systems. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-based nanocatalysts are promising candidates reduction of environmental pollutants, such as nitroaromatics dyes. This study reports on synthesis AuNPs Carpobrotus edulis (C. edulis) fruit aqueous ...

Using two 8-hydroxyquinolinate ligands (L1-MOM and L2-MOM) containing 3-pyridyl or 4-pyridyl groups, five novel coordination polymers, namely, [Zn3(L1)6] (1), [Zn(L1)2]·2MeOH (2), [Zn(L2)2] (3), [Cd(L2)2] (4), and [Cd4(L1)6]·13H2O (5), were synthesized and characterized by a variety of techniques. Single-crystal X-ray structures have revealed that these coordination polymers exhibit a structura...

Ultrasmall gold (Au) clusters have been regarded as one of the prototypes materials for solar energy conversion due to their unique strong molecular-like light absorption properties. However, light-induced aggregation Au into nanoparticles is most important factors that restricts its application in photocatalysis. Although has widely demonstrated, underlying mechanism cluster fusion still uncle...
