Nickel(II) nanoparticles supported on Fe3O4@L-Histidine amino acid: A novel and Highly active magnetic nanocatalyst for the effe

Considering the importance and application of nanoparticles, the magnetic nanoparticles will be synthesized via new procedures and applied as catalyst for the synthesis of organic compounds. In this project L-Histidine amino acid will be supported on magnetic nanoparticles and after surface modifications, this nanoparticles will be used to trap Nickel(II) through a strong interaction between the metal nanoparticles and functional groups of the amino acid. The characterization of the synthesized nanocatalyst will be performed using different techniques such as: TGA-DTA, FT-IR, SEM, XRD and AAS analysis. Then, these nanoparticles will be used for the synthesis of symmetrical diaryl sulfides. The most important advantages of this nano-catalyst are none expensive and high efficiency, simple recovery and reusability in the reactions.
