Influence Of Reaction Parameters On The Synthesis Of Surfactant-Assisted Tin Oxide Nanoparticles, Muhammad Akhyar Farrukh, Prisca Tan, Rohana Adnan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Tin oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via hydrothermal method using a non-ionic surfactant, oleyl amine (OLM), in the presence of urea. The reactions were carried out at different calcination temperatures and varying concentrations of surfactant and urea. The effect of these reaction parameters on the particles' size, distribution, surface area, and the average pore diameter were investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Larger tin oxide nanoparticles were obtained with higher concentrations of urea. At the optimum experimental conditions, tin oxide nanoparticles with mean …

Efficient One-Pot Alkylation Of Imines Using Nanosilver Iodide In Aqueous Media, Javad Safaei Ghomi, Ahmad Kakavand-Qalenoei, Mohammad Ali Ghasemzadeh, Masoud Salavati-Niasari

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

An efficient ecofriendly method for the alkylation reaction of various imines is described by a simple one-pot reaction of aldehydes, amines and alkyl iodides in the presence of AgI nanoparticles in aqueous media. Silver iodide nanoparticles mediated an enhanced rate and facility of reaction and showed high influence in the green synthesis of some amine derivatives. Moreover, this nanoparticle increased the yields of products and decreased the reaction times in all cases. The heterogeneous mediator was fully characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and FT-IR experimental techniques.
