An efficient method for the synthesis of 5-substituted-1H-tetrazoles through the reaction of nitriles with sodium azide using titanium oxide–supported boric acid (TiO2-H3BO3) catalyst was reported. The reactions were carried out at 120 °C and provided the corresponding tetrazoles in good to excellent yields. This method displayed significant advantages such as stability of the catalyst, high […]
In the present study, Pb-ZnO, Fe-ZnO, Cd-ZnO and Pb-Fe-Cd-ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by the sonochemical method and those structural and optical properties were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Vis spectroscopy, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Average crystallite size obtained was 60 nm. Moreover, the direct band gap has […]
The effect of various parameters (pH, irradiation time, nanophotocatalyst dosages and temperature) on photocatalytic degradation of Direct Red 23 (DR 23) and Direct Brown 166 (DB 166) using pure InVO4 and InVO4-TiO2 nanocomposite were investigated under visible light irradiation. InVO4 and InVO4-TiO2 were synthesized by hydrothermal and sol-gel/ hydrothermal treatment techniques, respectively and characterized by […]
In the present study, silver-doped TiO2 (Ag/TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared by various Ag doping (wt%) and a combination of sol-gel and ultrasound irradiation. Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Based on the Taguchi method, photocatalytic degradation of (Reactive Blue 255) RB 255 azo […]
Nb2O5 nanoparticles were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. Structural, morphological and elemental analysis of synthesized Nb2O5 nanoparticles was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, respectively. The average crystal size calculations were performed on the basis of X-ray diffraction pattern and were about 12.44 nm. The synthesized […]

The surface ofFe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) was modified by L-cysteine through condensation of COOH groups of L-cysteine and OH groups on the surface of Fe3O4. The –SH group of preparedFe3O4@Cys MNPs oxidized to –SO3H group and Fe3O4@Cys–SO3H as an environmentally friendly magnetic nanoparticle was prepared. The MNPs were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM and TEM […]
In this study, a novel and environmentally benign o-phenylendiamine stabilized on silica-coated Fe3O4 magnetic nanocatalyst (Fe3O4@SiO2@propyltriethoxysilane@o-phenylendiamine-SO3H/HCl) as a hybrid magnetic organometallic nanocatalyst has been synthesized. After that, the structure of this new catalyst was completely characterized via Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), atomic force microscopy (AFM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images, energy […]
Betaine hydrochloride (BHC), as an ionic salt was found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 4-thiazolidinediones. The methodology of study was achieved by one-pot condensation of aromatic aldehydes, aromatic amine and mercaptoacetic acid in the presence of betaine hydrochloride (BHC) at reflux temperature in ethanol as solvent. The efficiency […]
