Macroporous polymer supported nanoparticles of copper(I) iodide catalyst and macroporous polymer supported azide reagent were used to simplify the synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1H-1,2,3-triazoles from various benzyl halides following the green chemistry principles. This new one-pot protocol facilitates the workup of the reaction and provides the products in short times and at high yields. Hete...

Freshly prepared ZnO nanoparticles were used as an effective heterogeneous base catalyst for the synthesis of aryloximes. The conversion of arylaldehydes and arylketones into the corresponding oximes (up to quantitative yields) was achieved by simply mixing the liquid reactants and hydroxylamine hydrochloride with ZnO nanoparticles under solvent-free condition. The procedure was carried out und...

In this work firstly Fe2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple chemical method. Properties of the product were examined by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) shows nanoparticles exhibit ferromagnetic behavior. To continue some of the 2-naphthol condensed 1,3-oxazinon...

An efficient amide synthesis by atmospheric pressure aminocarbonylation using palladium nanoparticles supported on MOF-5 is reported. Interestingly, only 0.5 wt% palladium loading was required to achieve high yields. The catalyst is recyclable and offers negligible palladium leaching.

We demonstrated an unprecedented example of Ullmann homocoupling reaction of aryl iodides over a novel recyclable gold catalyst comprising Au nanoparticles supported on a bifunctional periodic mesoporous organosilica (Au@PMO).

Palladium nanoparticles were supported on a fluorous organic-inorganic hybrid material prepared by the sol-gel process without TEOS. Recycling studies on the Heck coupling reaction have shown that the catalyst can be readily recovered and reused.

Copper nitride nanoparticles supported on a mesoporous superparamagnetic silica microsphere exhibit superior activity toward the Huisgen cycloaddition of azides and alkynes. The nitride catalyst offers significant advantages over homogeneous Cu catalysts.

A superhydrophobic catalyst was prepared by immobilizing Pt nanoparticles on superhydrophobic organic-inorganic hybrid silicas, which showed high activity and selectivity in the oxidation of aliphatic alcohols to carboxylic acids.

NiWO(4) nanoparticles have been facilely synthesized by a hydrothermal approach, and used as a catalyst for the hydrodesulfurization of thiophene and its derivative 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene, showing a significantly higher activity than commercial NiW/Al(2)O(3).

Dealloyed Pt bimetallic core-shell catalysts derived from low-Pt bimetallic alloy nanoparticles (e.g, PtNi3 ) have recently shown unprecedented activity and stability on the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) under realistic fuel cell conditions and become today's catalyst of choice for commercialization of automobile fuel cells. A critical step toward this breakthrough is to control thei...
