Herein we report on the catalytic activity of mesoporous nickel, iron, cerium, cobalt, and manganese oxides prepared using KIT-6 as a hard template via evaporation-assisted precipitation. The metal (MMOs) were characterized used heterogeneous catalysts in reduction 4-nitrophenol (4-Nip) by sodium borohydride (BH4–). Furthermore, polyamidoamide (PAMAM) dendrimers to synthesize gold–palladium nanoalloy particles. size AuPd/PAMAM was found be 3.5 ± 0.8 nm diameter before being immobilized...
The transformation of various organic molecules into value-added chemicals has been driven by the success in development highly active catalytic systems. Heterogeneous catalysts have found use many industrial processes virtue their ease separation and high activities reactions. However, employing heterogeneous suffer significantly when it comes to product selectivity. Herein, we report on synthesis selective palladium nanoparticle (Pd NP)-containing catalysts. reported herein consist...
A suitable, expeditious and well-organized approach for the acetylation of alcohols with acetic anhydride in presence 5%MoO<sub>3</sub>–SiO<sub>2</sub> as an optimum environmentally benign heterogeneous catalyst was developed.
In the present study, we report synthesis and catalytic activity of tungsten- molybdenum-promoted mesoporous metal oxides in aminolysis epoxides. The as-synthesized catalysts were fully characterized by a variety techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning (SEM), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) desorption (TPD), nitrogen sorption measurements, powder X-ray diffraction (p-XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Amongst two supports utilized, ZrO2 is better...
