Ordered mesoporous SBA ‐15 functionalized with yttrium(III) and cerium(III) complexes: Towards active heterogeneous catalysts for oxidation of sulfides and preparation of 5‐substituted 1H‐tetrazoles
Two novel and eco ‐friendly SBA‐15@Creatinine@M (M = Y and Ce) catalysts were prepared and characterized. These mesostructured and reusable catalysts can be used efficiently for the synthesis of 5‐substituted 1H‐tetrazoles and for the oxidation of sulfides into sulfoxides. The products were obtained in high to excellent yields in a short reaction time. Mesoporous SBA ‐15 was synthesized and modified with 3‐chloropropyltrimethoxysilane and then used in immobilization of creatinine groups, which were employed to introduce Y3+ and Ce3+ to give rise to two novel yttrium and cerium catalysts: SBA ‐15@Creatinine@...

A new air ‐stable and reusable tetraphosphine ligand for rhodium‐catalyzed hydroformylation of terminal olefins at low temperature
A new air ‐stable tetraphosphine ligand‐based catalyst could lead to high conversion (>97.7%) and high aldehyde selectivity (>94.1%) at low temperature (40 –60°C). Moreover, the tetraphosphine ligand could chelate with Rh due to the multiple chelating modes even though one or two phosphorus atoms were oxidized, providing at least seven reuses of the catalyst in homogeneous hydroformylation. Tetraphosphine and bisphosphine ligands were synthesized, characterized and employed in Rh ‐catalyzed hydroformylation of 1‐octene and 1‐hexene. Conversion of over 97.7% and aldehyde yield of 94.1% were achieved at 60...

Threonine stabilizer ‐controlled well‐dispersed small palladium nanoparticles on modified magnetic nanocatalyst for Heck cross‐coupling process in water
We report the synthesis of magnetically separable Fe3O4@Silica ‐Threonine‐Pd0 magnetic nanoparticles with a core –shell structure. After synthesis of Fe3O4@Silica, threonine as an efficient stabilizer/ligand was bonded to the surface of Fe3O4@Silica. Then, palladium nanoparticles were generated on the threonine ‐modified catalyst. The threonine stabilizer helps to generate palladium nanoparticles of small size (less than 4 nm) with high dispersity and uniformity. Magnetically separable Fe3O4@Silica ‐Threonine‐Pd0 nanocatalyst was fully characterized using various techniques. This nanocatalyst efficiently catal...

Isophorone ‐boronate ester: A simple chemosensor for optical detection of fluoride anion
ESP surfaces of molecules (1) and (1.F ‐) with Mulliken atomic charges at dicyano quaternary carbon and boron in the conjugate(1). A highly selective isophorone ‐boronate ester based chemosensor, (1), having a dicyanovinyl moiety as a convenient colorimetric probe, has been designed. Different types of anionic analyte such as CH3COO−, ClO4−, Cl−, F−, PF6−, Br− and HSO4− were tested and among them only highly nucleophilic F− anion displayed significant response towards the sensor. Addition of the fluoride anion across the boron atom disrupts the π‐conjugation thereby shifts the absorption wavelength t...

Synthesis of Gossypium hirsutum ‐derived silver nanoparticles and their antibacterial efficacy against plant pathogens
A stem extract ofGossypium hirsutum was efficiently used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The AgNPs showed antimicrobial activity against plant pathogens. Malvaceae and Brassicaceae family crops are economically important; however, their production has been markedly decreased in recent years due to various plant pests. Hence, the search for novel classes of efficient biological approaches continues due to unavailability of precise pesticides. The present study was designed to synthesize, characterize and evaluate the efficacy of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) obtained using stem extract ofGossypium hirsutum...
