nano sulfated titania was tested as solid acid heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 4-(trifluoromethyl) coumarin and coumarin derivatives under solvent-free condition. factorial design evidenced a positive effect of reaction temperature, amount of catalyst, and solvents.  this nano-sized sulfated titania has been prepared by a sol-gel hydrothermal process. the prepared sulfated titania s...

Sulfonated polystyrene/montmorillonite nanocomposite (OMMT/PS-SO3H) was prepared and used as a novel, efficient and inexpensive heterogeneous acid catalyst in the one-pot reaction three-component Mannich reaction of ketones, aromatic aldehydes and amines under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, SEM, TG, BET and FT-IR techniques. This method has advantages...

The present invention relates to new Nickel catalysts of Formula I and II and to the process of preparation of the new catalysts. These new catalysts are used in preparing poly(3-substitutedthiophene) with high regioregularity. Highly regioregular poly(3-substituted-thiophene) can be used in the manufacture of optoelectronic devices. Patent application No.523/MUM/2014

We combine classical empirical potentials and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to characterize the catalyst/electrode interface of a promising device for artificial photosynthesis. This system consists of inorganic Ru-polyoxometalate (Ru-POM) molecules that are supported by a graphitic substrate functionalized with organic dendrimers. The experimental atomic-scale characterization o...

This study investigates the effect of homogeneous and heterogeneous peer interaction on the development of Iranian EFL learners’ writing skill. Sixty female students of TEFL participated in the study. The participants were divided into two groups based on their English proficiency test scores. The homogeneous group consisted of 14 participants paired with partners with similar English proficien...

The removal of hydrogen from alkanes to give alkenes is an important commercial objective, as alkenes are widely used as organic feedstocks in industrial processes involving chemical synthesis and polymerisation. This reaction is, however, significantly endothermic, needing up to 30 kcal per mole, and normally occurring at temperatures exceeding 400°C in the presence of heterogeneous supported ...

silica sulfuric acid as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst has been used for the preparation of amidines 2 from formimidate 1 by reaction with aromatic amines at room temperature in good to excellent yields. imidate was prepared by treatment of equimolar quantities of triethyl orthoformate and diaminomaleonitrile in refluxing dioxane. all the compounds were characterized fully by ...

the aryl-(z)-n-[2-amino-1,2-dicyanovinyl]formamidine 2 cyclize in solvent-free conditions and in the presence of a base to give a 5-amino-1-aryl-4-cyanoimidazoles 3. silica sulfuric acid as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst has been used for the preparation of amidines 2 from formimidate 1 through reaction with aromatic amines at room temperature and in good to excellent yields. ...

simple, cheap and green protocol for effective conversion of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds in the presence of h14[nap5w30o110] and ammonium nitrate is reported. the products were characterized by ft-ir and comparison of their physical properties with those reported in the literatures. the progress of the reaction was monitored by thin layer chromatography (tlc) technique. the ali...
