Abstract

In the present research, a magnetically recoverable catalyst was easily prepared by anchoring nickel onto the surface of organically modified magnetite nanoparticles. Characterization of the prepared nanostructure was performed by various physico-chemical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis and vibrating sample magnetometer measurements. The catalytic behavior of the prepared nanohybrid as an efficient catalyst was successfully probed in the oxidation of sulfides, oxidative coupling of thiols and synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles. This method was found to have significant advantages, including high yield, green reaction conditions, short reaction time, easy separation and workup, as well as the ability to tolerate a wide variety of substitutions in the reagents.
