Ni(II)-Incorporated MCM-41 Material - Heterogeneous Catalyst for C-S and C-N Cross Coupling Reactions

摘要

abstract_textpNi(II) Schiff base complex was successfully immobilized on the surface of the MCM-41 material using the organo silane compound 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane by the direct synthesis method. The as-synthesized Ni-MCM-41 material was investigated by the characterization techniques like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, small angle X-ray powder diffraction, N-2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersion X-ray analysis. The studies show that the Ni-MCM-41 material retained good mesoporous structure and acts as an efficient catalyst for the C - S and C - N cross coupling reactions under prominent reaction conditions. Readily available nature of the starting compounds, synthesis of effective catalyst and reusability of the catalyst makes the present synthetic method a remarkable strategy./p/abstract_text
