Two copper-based Cu3(btc)2 and Cu(Im)2 metal–organic frameworks are synthesized and annealed to form nanoporous Cu/Cu2O@C and Cu@N-C nanoparticles for utilization as catalysts in the reduction reaction of aromatic nitro compounds to aromatic amines. All synthesized MOF compounds and MOF-derived nanoparticles are characterized using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, TGA, SEM-EDX, and XPS methods. Also, the pore-size distribution and surface area of the MOF-derived Cu/Cu2O@C and Cu@N-C nanoparticles are characterized by the BJH and BET methods. After characterization, the catalysts Cu/Cu2O@C and Cu@N-C are catalytically tested for the reduction reactions of various aromatic nitro compounds chemically by monitoring with a UV/Vis spectrometer. Both catalysts exhibit remarkable results compared with those in the literature. Also, the Cu/Cu2O@C catalyst shows better results than the Cu@N-C catalyst.

Main observation and conclusion: We describe a practical and general protocol for immobilization of heterogeneous catalysts to mechanically robust porous ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tablets using inter-facial Lifshitz-van der Waals Interactions. Diverse types of powderous catalysts, including Cu, Pd/C, Pd/Al2O3, Pt/C, and Rh/C have been immobilized successfully. The immobilized catalysts are mechanistically robust towards stirring in solutions, and they worked well in diverse synthetic reactions. The immobilized catalyst tablets are easy to handle and reused. Moreover, the metal leaching of immobilized catalysts was reduced significantly.

In this study, a commercially available homogeneous pincer-type complex, Ru-Macho, was directly heterogenized via the Lewis acid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction using dichloromethane as the cross-linker to obtain a heterogeneous, pincer-type Ru porous organometallic polymer (Ru-Macho-POMP) with a high surface area. Notably, Ru-Macho-POMP was demonstrated to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to their corresponding allylic alcohols using cinnamaldehyde as a model compound. The Ru-Macho-POMP catalyst showed a high turnover frequency (TOF = 920 h-1) and a high turnover number (TON = 2750), with high chemoselectivity (99%) and recyclability during the selective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.

Carbapenems stand as one of the last-resort antibiotics; however, their efficacy is threatened by the rising number and rapid spread of carbapenemases. Effective antimicrobial stewardship thus calls for rapid tests for these enzymes to aid appropriate prescription and infection control. Herein, we report the first effective pan-carbapenemase reporter CARBA-H with a broad scope covering all three Ambler classes. Using a chemical biology approach, we demonstrated that the absence of the 1β-substituent in the carbapenem core is key to pan-carbapenemase recognition, which led to our rational design and probe development. CARBA-H provides a dual colorimetric-fluorogenic response upon carbapenemase-mediated hydrolysis. A clear visual readout can be obtained within 15 min when tested against a panel of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) clinical isolates that notably includes OXA-48 and OXA-181-producing strains. Furthermore, CARBA-H can be applied to the detection of carbapemenase activity in CPE-spiked urine samples.

In this work, a heterogeneous nanocatalyst called Ni-Fe3O4@Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal was first synthesized, which was investigated as a bifunctional catalyst containing nickel functional groups. On the other hand, this Ni-Fe3O4@Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal catalyst in aqueous solvents shows a very effective performance at ambient temperature for the nitroarene reduction reaction with sodium borohydride, for which NaBH4 is considered as a reducing agent. This is a novelty magnetic catalyst that was approved by various methods, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Dynamic light scattering (DLS), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), Inductively coupled plasma (ICP), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analyses. From the satisfactory results obtained from the reduction of nitrogen, this catalytic system is used for a one-pot protocol containing a reduction-Schiff base concentration of diverse nitroarenes. It was corroborated with the heterogeneous catalytic experiments on the one-pot tandem synthesis of imines from nitroarenes and aldehydes. Finally, the novel Ni-Fe3O4@Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal catalyst could function as a more economically desirable and environmentally amicable in the catalysis field. The favorable products are acquired in good to high performance in the attendance of Ni-Fe3O4@Pectin~PPA ~ Piconal as a bifunctional catalyst. This catalyst can be recycled up to six steps without losing a sharp drop.

P, Se-codoped g-C3N4 (PSeCN) nanosheet was in situ prepared by facile thermal polymerization of melamine, phosphonitrilic chloride trimer, and selenium black powder as the precursors. It was found as a suitable support for the immobilization of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The prepared nanocatalyst was fully characterized via standard analysis methods including EDX, ICP-OES, XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, and BET. This PSeCN/Ag nanocatalyst with a higher specific surface area compared with CN, showed excellent catalytic activity towards the reduction of several nitroaromatic compounds using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in short reaction times with high efficiency and good selectivity in water as a green solvent. Significantly, the above-mentioned nanocomposite could be reused six times without appreciable loss of its catalytic activity.

Acrylamide and N-isopropylacrylamide were copolymerized in the presence of a N,N-methylenebisacrylamide crosslinker to obtain poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide) [P(NA)] polymer colloidal particles. Pd nano crystals with diameter of 4–8 nm were loaded into the [P(NA)] microgels by reduction of [PdCl4]-2 within dispersion of polymer microgels. The Pd NPs-loaded hybrid microgels were analysed by TEM, STEM, EDX and XRD. The catalytic ability of the Pd-[P(NA)] system was investigated towards reductive transformation of nitroarenes into corresponding aryl amines and Suzuki coupling transformation in a green solvent, H2O. The progress of catalytic reaction was examined by thin layer chromatography (TLC). Different reactants were effectively converted into their corresponding products with great to fabulous yields (extending from 75 to 97%) under gentle reaction conditions. The Pd-[P(NA)] catalyst is stable for long time and can be utilized numerous times without any notable loss in its catalytic action.

Developing and/or modifying fundamental chemical reactions using chemical industry-favorite heterogeneous recoverable catalytic systems in the water solvent is very important. In this paper, we developed convenient, green, and efficient approaches for the chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes, N-acetylation of arylamines, and one-pot reductive acetylation of nitroarenes in the presence of the recoverable heterogeneous carbon-supported palladium (Pd/C) catalytic system in water. The utilize of the simple, effective, and recoverable catalyst and also using of water as an entirely green solvent along with relatively short reaction times and good-to-excellent yields of the desired products are some of the noticeable features of the presented synthetic protocols.
