12-Tungstophosphoric acid supported on silica-coated magnetic nano particles was prepared and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. Acidity of the catalysts was measured by potentiometric titration with n-butylamine. Catalytic activity of the prepared sample was evalu...

The Pechmann condensation has been used as a simple and efficient method for the preparation of coumarin derivatives, which phenols and ethyl acetoacetate were reacted in the presence of AlCl3 supported on nano silica as an efficient catalyst at 110 oC under solvent free condition to form products with good to excellent yield (55 -90%), which are identified by spectroscopic method ( FT-IR, NMR)...

Vanadium supported on highly ordered nanoporous silica (VOx-LUS-1) was synthesized and characterized by XRD, Nitrogen adsorption‑desorption isotherms and UV-visible spectrophotometer. Direct oxidation of benzene to phenol in liquid phase by H2O2 peroxide were examined by using various solvents (methanol, acetone, acetic acid, acetonitryl). The maximum yield (25%) and selectivity (73%) of the ph...

Copper catalysts supported on silica or silica-alumina are used to promote the insertion of carbenes, coming from methyl phenyldiazoacetate and ethyl diazoacetate, into one C-H bond of THF, constituting the first example of this reaction promoted by a purely inorganic catalyst. Cu/SiO2-Al2O3 leads to better results, regarding yield and catalyst recovery, than with Cu/SiO2. With the former catal...

A novel silica catalyst was synthesized by evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method and tested for the catalytic selective hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose. This silica catalyst exhibited a higher catalytic activity than other oxides prepared by the same method, such as ZrO2, TiO2, and Al2O3. Using silica as a catalyst, cellulose was selectively hydrolyzed into glucose with a glucose y...

Pre-synthesized ruthenium dioxide nanoparticulates (RuO(2) NPs) with low level of aggregation were well dispersed in mesoporous silica SBA-15. As a catalyst for water oxidation, the supported RuO(2) NPs exhibit excellent catalytic activity and recyclability. The initial turnover frequency (TOF) is to date the highest among comparable RuO(2) catalysts.

In the research, spherical α-Fe2O3 NanoParticles (NPs) were synthesized through Forced Hydrolysis and Reflux Condensation (FHRC) process and were supported on the surface of silica sand by Solid-State Dispersion (SSD) method. Characterization of silica and α-Fe2O3/SiO2 catalyst was done using Fourier-Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) spectrosc...

A new, efficient method for the synthesis of 2-aryl substituted benzimidazole by using silica supported periodic acid (H5IO6-SiO2) as a catalyst has been developed. The salient feature of the present method includes mild reaction condition, short reaction time, high yield and easy workup procedure. The synthesized benzimidazoles exhibited potent anticancer activity against MCF7 and HL60 cell li...

Highly regio- and stereoselective hydrothiolation of a wide range of alkynes with various thiols was demonstrated in the presence of a well-defined Rh complex supported on mesoporous SBA-15 silica. The catalyst was easily recovered and reused several times without significant loss of activity or selectivity.
