Abstract
This work reports a preparation of Mg(OH)2 and MgO nanoparticles (NPs) using magnesium acetate in benzylamine and mechanistic study of its formation. The benzylamine acts as a solvent, base, promoter and capping agent in this reaction. The structure and morphology of particles were analyzed by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution TEM (HRTEM), selected area energy dispersion (SAED), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), FT-IR, CO2–temperature programmed desorption (TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis techniques. The application of as prepared MgO NPs was used in catalysis as a catalyst for the formylation of amines with recyclability studies of nanocatalyst.
