“…From the literature survey, it has been found that there are several methods already reported for the synthesis of ACCs, for examples, Lewis acid-base based catalysts, organo-catalysts, homogeneous as well as heterogeneous catalysts such as DBU, [33] L-proline, [34] piperazine, [35] triethylamine, [36] K 2 CO 3 , [37] triethylammonium hydrogen sulfate, [38] BF 3 .SiO 2 , [39] 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE), [40] choline chloride urea, [41] RGO-SO 3 H, [42] [bmim]OH, [43] CoCeO 2 NPs, [44] ZIF@ZnTiO 3 , [45] thiourea dioxide [46] etc. Only recently study on the multicomponent synthesis of ACCs using a homogeneous cis-[Mo VI O 2 ] complex as catalyst has been reported in the literature, [47] while two other studies have considered heterogeneous Fe 3 O 4 -supported molybdenum nano catalysts for this synthesis. [48,49] Zhang et al reported the syntheses and structures of monoas well as bi-nuclear cis-[Mo VI O 2 ] complexes of ligand (iii) (Scheme 1).…”
