Diphenyl diselenide immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles: A novel and retrievable heterogeneous catalyst in the oxidation of aldehydes under mild and green conditions

In the present study diselenide stabilized on silica coated Fe3O4 magnetic nano particles as a novel, highly efficient and magnetically retrievable heterogeneous catalyst was designed, synthesized and introduced. Full characterization of the newly prepared magnetic nanocatalyst was authenticated using several physico-chemical characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA),...
