Abstract
In this study, we present an environmentally friendly procedure for the bio-inspired fabrication of Ag nanoparticles facilitated by macromolecules extracted from Quince (Cydonia oblonga) seed mucilage (QSM). The inherent phytochemicals in the mucilage acted as efficient reducing agents for silver ions under ultrasonic irradiation, while also providing stabilization to the Ag NPs through capping or encapsulation. The structural properties of the nanocomposite (Ag NPs@QSM) were analyzed using various advanced techniques, including UV-Vis spectroscopy, TEM, FE-SEM, EDX and ICP-OES. The fabricated nanocomposite proved to be an effective nanocatalyst for solvent-free O-acetylation of various alcohols using acetic anhydride under mild conditions. Furthermore, the material could be isolated and reused for nine consecutive cycles.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Organometallic Chemistry targets original papers dealing with theoretical aspects, structural chemistry, synthesis, physical and chemical properties (including reaction mechanisms), and practical applications of organometallic compounds.
Organometallic compounds are defined as compounds that contain metal - carbon bonds. The term metal includes all alkali and alkaline earth metals, all transition metals and the lanthanides and actinides in the Periodic Table. Metalloids including the elements in Group 13 and the heavier members of the Groups 14 - 16 are also included. The term chemistry includes syntheses, characterizations and reaction chemistry of all such compounds. Research reports based on use of organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry, medicine, material sciences, homogeneous catalysis and energy conversion are also welcome.
The scope of the journal has been enlarged to encompass important research on organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry and material sciences, and of heavier main group elements in organometallic chemistry. The journal also publishes review articles, short communications and notes.
