Abstract
A supported Ni(II) complex has been synthesized and characterized by FTIR, UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Its catalytic activity was evaluated for alkyne–azide coupling and benzothiazole synthesis. These reactions were found to require mild conditions, reaction times, and most importantly, could be carried out in aqueous medium. The catalyst could be easily recovered and reused five times without significant decrease in its activity. Leaching tests indicated that the catalyst is truly heterogeneous. The nickel complex was tested for its inhibition of germination of MTU 7029 seeds. Rice (MTU 7029, Oryza sativa) is a staple crop in southeast Asia.
