Nano-NiZr4(PO4)6 has been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and FT-IR spectroscopy. In this research, microwave irradiation is used as a green and complementary technique for preparation of bis-thiazolidinones. Use of simple and readily available starting materials, excellent yields, short reaction times, reusability of the catalyst, low amount of catalyst and using of microwave as clean method are some advantages of this protocol.
