Introduction:: MCM-41 was synthesized using the sol-gel method. Then two new transition metal complexes of Nickel (II) and Vanadium (IV), were synthesized by immobilization of adenine (6-aminopurine) into MCM-41 mesoporous. The compounds have been characterized by XRD, TGA, SEM, AAS and FT-IR spectral studies. Using these catalysts provided an efficient and enantioselective procedure for oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and oxidative coupling of thiols to their corresponding disulfides using hydrogen peroxide at room temperature. Materials and Methods:: To a solution of sulfide or thiol (1 mmol) and H2O2 (5 mmol), a determined amount of the catalyst was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for the specific time under solvent free conditions. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC using n-hexane: acetone (8:2). Afterwards, the catalyst was removed from the reaction mixture by centrifugation and, then, washed with dichloromethane in order to give the pure products. Results:: All the products were obtained in excellent yields and short reaction times indicating the high activity of the synthesized catalysts. Besides, the catalysts can be recovered and reused for several runs without significant loss in their catalytic activity. Conclusion:: These catalytic systems furnish the products very quickly with excellent yields and VO-6AP-MCM-41 shows high catalytic activity compared to Ni-6AP-MCM-41.

Uniform CoSn(OH)6 hollow nanoboxes and the derivative with Pt loading (Pt/CoSn(OH)6) were herein synthesized and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). SEM and TEM analyses showed that CoSn(OH)6 possessed mesoporous hollow structure and Pt nanoparticles with size of 2–8[Formula: see text]nm were uniformly dispersed on the surface of CoSn(OH)6 nanoboxes. The performances of the catalysts for the formaldehyde (HCHO) removal at room temperature were evaluated. These Pt/CoSn(OH)6 catalysts exhibited a remarkable catalytic activity as well as stability for room-temperature oxidative decomposition of gaseous HCHO, while the corresponding CoSn(OH)6 only showed adsorption. The synergetic effect between the highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles and the CoSn(OH)6 nanoboxes with mesoporous hollow structure, a large surface area and abundant surface hydroxyl groups is considered to be the main reason for the observed high catalytic activity of Pt/CoSn(OH)6.

Abstract Several new binuclear nickel(II), oxovanadium(IV) and palladium(II) complexes (MLX) of tridentate salicylaldimines (LXH2) obtained from substituted salicylaldehydes and 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-aminophenol, as well as mononuclear nickel(II) and oxovanadium(IV), MQx nH2O, complexes with hydrogenated LX H2 ligands (QXH2) have been prepared and their spectroscopic, magnetic and catalytic activity (for PdLx) have been investigated. NiLx and VOLx complexes when dissolved in pyridine, take up three or two pyridine molecules to form six coordinated complexes, respectively. The Ni(II) and VO(IV) complexes obtained from QXH2 can be formu­lated as NiQx-3H2O and VOQx H2O. All VO(IV) complexes have been characterized by ESR parameters. It has been found that some PdLx complexes without any preliminary activation, in EtOH, THF and DMF exhibit high catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene or cyclohexene at room temperature and at 30 -40 °C under 760 torr H2. When this reaction has been carried out in the ESR cavity at room temperature the triplet of 12 line multiplets due to the nitroxyl type coordinated radical (g = 2.013, AN = 10 G, AH = 0.8 G) was detected.

Three-dimensional (3-D) periodic hematite scaffold was successfully fabricated by direct writing method as a catalyst for degradation of organic contaminants. Photo-catalytically active α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles have been synthesized by sol-gel technique. Aqueous slurries of iron oxides were freeform fabricated to produce hematite scaffolds with a 3-D periodic architecture and multiscale porosity. The catalytic activity of the hematite scaffolds was evaluated in the degradation of Methylene Blue (MB). It was found that the degradation rate of MB dye was over 83%. The result strongly indicates that the hematite scaffolds exhibits a high catalytic activity. Moreover, this work provides an important step forward in the creation of suitable structures for photocatalyst.

Copper nanoparticles, due to their interesting properties, low cost preparation and many potential applications in catalysis, cooling fluid or conductive inks, have attracted a lot of interest in recent years. In this study, copper nanoparticles were synthesized through the palm leaves extract that act as reducing agent. In this synthesis route, the hydroxyl groups of the polyphenols in palm extract are capable to act as reducing agent for reduction reaction. The effect of temperature given starting with control parameters at room temperature proceeds to 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80°C with the time length of 2 hours and 10 milimol copper nitrate aqueous solution. Characterization had been conducted using the instrument of UV-vis spectrophotometer, FTIR and ESEM. The average size of all powder nanoparticles was found to 109, 86, 196, 133, 241, and 230nm accordingly from room temperature till 80°C. The correspondence analysis of the results yielded that the optimum temperature was at 40°C which is 86nm of average copper nanoparticle size.
