MesoporousSBA-15 was synthesized and modified with 3chloropropyltrimethoxysilane and then used in immobilization of creatinine groups, which were employed to introduce Y 3+ and Ce 3+ to give rise to two novel yttrium and cerium catalysts: SBA-15@Creatinine@M (M = Y and Ce).The structures of the SBA-15@Creatinine@M catalysts were determined using various techniques. These catalysts offered outstanding catalytic performances in the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and in the preparation of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles. An important characteristic of the SBA-15@Creatinine@M catalysts is that they are very stable without a considerable decrease in their catalytic performance lasting seven cycles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
