A dual functionalized ionic liquid catalytic system was developed for the reaction between CO2 and propargylic alcohols, exhibited excellent performance good reusability, even under a low concentration of in gram-scale reaction.

a simple and efficient method for synthesis of tetrahydropyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline derivatives via three component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, dimedone and 6-amino uracil derivatives using a catalytic amount of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (sba-15-pr-so3h) is described. the advantages of this method are easy and clean work-up, high yield, mild reaction condition, reusable c...

The main difficulty in the liquid phase furfural hydrogenation process is control of selectivity to target product among possible ones. When copper catalysts are used, they often suffer from low stability medium. Herein, we report a general preparation method based on glycine-assisted situ autocombustion synthesize Cu supported catalysts. This could lead highly active, selective and stable hydr...

Mercury (Hg) causes hazardous cumulative effects in humans; like central nervous system disorders,hypertension and chromosomal aberrations. Therefore, due to high toxicity and bioaccumulationfactor, mercury determination and speciation in human blood is very important. A sensitive,accurate, precise and inexpensive method was demonstrated for preconcentration and speciationof ultra-trace mercury...

Magnetic Fe-SBA-15 mesoporous silica molecular sieves were prepared, characterized, and used for magnetic separation. Wet impregnation, drying, and calcination steps led to iron inclusion within the mesopores. Iron oxide was reduced to the metal form with hydrogen, and the magnetic Fe-SBA-15 was obtained. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the preparation process from the oxide t...

We report different mesoporosity-dependent and functional group-dependent cytotoxicity and endocytosis of various silica nanomaterials on suspended and adherent cells. This dependency further varied with incubation time and particle dosage, and appeared to be associated with the particles' endocytotic efficiency and their chemical and physical properties. We studied two common mesoporous nanoma...
