In this paper, a new nano-size ionic liquid (nIL) has been synthesized from D-phenylalanine and oxalic acid (D-Phe-OX) via a simple procedure. The obtained nIL has been characterized by the fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), […]
A hydrophobic-bentonite catalyst (cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide-bentonite) has been used as a very mild, neutral, eco-friendly, reusable, non-toxic, low-cost and easily available catalyst. It was prepared by replacing the exchangeable Na+ cations of a homoionic Na–bentonite with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTMAB) cations. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, BET and SEM. The BET data and XRD […]
SBA-15 is an interesting mesoporous silica material having highly ordered nanopores and a large surface area, which is widely employed as a catalyst. This mesoporous silica due to silanol groups is easily functionalized by various organic materials. A new acidic ordered functionalized mesoporous silica (SBA-15-Aminopropyl-Benzyl-SO3H) has been introduced as an efficient catalyst for solvent-free esterification […]
Metal-organic framework 5 (MOF-5) and bimetallic MOF-5s (Co/Zn and Ni/Zn) were prepared via a simple solvothermal method. Samples were characterized by various techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and elemental analysis (EA). Photocatalytic decolorization of methylene blue […]
A three-component process for the one-pot synthesis of 6-amino-4-aryl-5-cyano-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles is described by the three-component reaction of aldehydes, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one and malononitrile in the presence of Fe3O4@FSM-16-SO3H as an efficient magnetically recyclable mesoporous catalyst. Folded sheet mesoporous material (FSM-16) was prepared by intercalation of a layered, kanemite type sodium silicate with cetyltrimethylammonium (CTMA) ions in the presence […]

Using hydrothermal synthesis process a series of Mobil Five (MFI) zeolites were synthesized with silica to alumina ratio (SAR) of 50, 100 and 200. The synthesized MFI zeolites were used to exchange with 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% Ca(NO3)2 solutions for modification of MFI zeolites to Ca-MFI zeolite. The formation of MFI zeolite phases was identified […]
Synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) was carried out by Marrubium astranicum leaf extract. The average of particle sizes for NiO NPs was 40 nm. NiO NPs modified carbon paste electrodes in the absence (CPE/NiO NPs) and the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (CPE/NiO NPs/SDS) were examined for the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol in […]
In this work, the SBA-15-supported dithizone-copper(I) [SBA-15-dtz–Cu(I)] complex as a new heterogeneous catalyst is prepared for the first time. The catalyst prepared is characterized by the FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM, and ICP techniques. This reusable heterogeneous catalyst can be used in the click reactions for the green and facile synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazolesvia a one-pot three-component […]
In-situ synthesis of Ti-incorporated MCM-41 nano catalyst was carried out by the hydrothermal method to prepare a mesoporous catalyst for the oxidative desulfurization reaction (ODS). Oxidative reaction of dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a heavy sulfur compound was evaluated in a solution of n-decane as a model of liquid fuel. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by XRD, […]
