Triazole ligands with carboxylic acid at one termini and polyethylene oxide (PEO) at the other termini are synthesized via "click" chemistry and subsequently attached onto the Fe 3 O 4 surface by ligand-exchange reactions. Then the small-sized Au or Pd nanoparticles are encapsulated into this nanocomposite by their mild coordination with triazole, yielding efficient, green and magnetically-recoverable nano catalysts. Scheme 1 Synthetic route of Fe 3 O 4 -supported trz-AuNP (and trz-PdNP) catalyst.
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.
