Size-Dependent Catalytic Activity of Palladium Nanoparticles Decorated on Core–Shell Magnetic Microporous Organic Networks

Abstract

It is of supreme importance to develop recyclable and green heterogeneous catalysts due to their potential to reduce environmental impact and reduce costs associated with their use. Hence, in this research, an initial development was made of a core−shell magnetic structure composed of Fe 3 O 4 and a microporous organic network (MON), followed by the physical absorption of palladium nanoparticles (NPs) onto the outer surface of this shell substance. The results of TEM and EDX analyses indicated that Pd NPs of varying sizes, which were produced by using different reducing agents, were evenly bound to the MON shell materials. The use of PiFM and XPS analyses provided evidence that there was effective bonding between Pd nanoparticles and the amine groups present on the surface of MON materials. Besides, the successful immobilization of palladium NPs was also approved by N 2 adsorption/desorption analyses with the decrease of the surface from 328 to 227 m 2 /g after palladium inclusion. The prepared nanoheterogeneous catalysts can catalyze the C−C formation in mild conditions, green solvents, and short reaction times with good to excellent yields. The results revealed that the catalyst with smaller palladium NPs sized 1−5 nm and in medium abundance has better catalytic performance toward C−C formation, compared to those with bigger Pd NPs sized 5−15 nm and in both low and high Pd contents.

Facile synthesis of a novel covalent triazine framework for recovering gold(i) from thiosulfate solution

“…Therefore, CTFs have considerable application potential in fields such as energy conversion and storage, catalysis, and adsorption and separation. 16–19 Khosravani et al 20 developed a covalent organic framework adsorbent, TFPOTDB-SO 3 H, via the condensation of 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid and 2,4,6-tris-(4-formylphe-noxy)-1,3,5-triazine. Using this adsorbent, the removal rate of Pb 2+ reached 99.40% in only 10 min and the loading capacity was as high as 500.00 mg g −1 .…”

“…Recently, Heydari and co-workers demonstrated a Pd NP-doped magnetic COF composite (Pd/CoFe 2 O 4 @CTF) as a photocatalyst for carbonylative coupling reactions for the preparation of amides, esters, and 2-aryl quinazolinones . Khojastehnezhad et.al developed a core–shell magnetic structure composed of Fe 3 O 4 and a microporous organic network, followed by the physical absorption of palladium NPs onto the outer surface of this shell substance, and the prepared nanomagnetic catalysts were able to catalyze the Sonogashira and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions …”
