Preparation and Characterization of Ni‐Modified Graphene Oxide Complex as an Efficient Catalyst for the Synthesis of Sulfides via Reaction of Arylhalides with S8 or Thiourea

Abstract

In this work, complex of Ni‐modified graphene oxide was prepared and characterized using FT‐IR spectroscopy, SEM, XRD, TGA and ICP‐OES techniques. This compound used as an efficient and recoverable catalyst for the C–S coupling reaction using sulfur‐transfer reagents (S8 or thiourea). The catalyst was easily separated using a simple filtration and reusable without significant loss of their catalytic efficiency.
