Fe3O4@SiO2@β-CD/Ce (IV) as a nano magnetic hybrid organic-inorganic catalyst

In this research, Fe3O4@SiO2@β-CD/Ce (IV) was prepared as a novel, stable and high surface area composite. The prepared composite has magnetic properties and is non-toxic. A variety of advanced techniques such as EDS, XRD, FT-IR, VSM, and FE-SEM were utilized to characterize its structure. The prepared composite was applied as a catalyst for the synthesis of 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one, 2-(4-nitrophenyl) benzo[d]thiazole and 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidine. Cheapness, avoidance of toxic solvents, high catalytic activity, environmental friendliness, easy recovery and the ability to be reused four times are the main advantages of this composite.
