Abstract

Nano Ag-doped Fe3O4@mesoporous TiO2 core–shell hollow spheres (h-Fe3O4@m-TiO2/Ag) were efficiently prepared. They were fully characterized by FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDX, ICP, TGA, XRD, and BET methods. In addition, their magnetic properties were determined by means of the VSM method. Also, the ρ shell of the prepared hollow Fe3O4 micro-particles was calculated, being found just slightly lighter than that of solid sphere-like Fe3O4. The catalytic activity of this novel catalyst system was successfully examined as a novel catalyst system in A3 coupling reactions (aldehyde + amine + acetylene). This highly active magnetic catalyst was easily separated using an external magnet and re-used in five consecutive runs in the model reaction without appreciable loss of its catalytic activity.
