The synthesis and application of nanoparticles in chemical reactions is nowadays very common. In nanoparticle-catalysed reactions, using environmentally friendly conditions for inherently economical reactions, a high-efficiency method is created with a simple task based on the many precursors available. The possibility of recycling catalysts and reducing waste are additional positive features of using this approach. One of the most abundant and practical families of these nanocatalysts are made by the core-shell method, involving an outer layer with organic functional groups. The presence of this active layer creates interesting and important catalytic properties. For example, the possibility of hydrogen bonding through hydroxyl or amino functional groups etc., or the role of Lewis acid in carboxyl, thiol or sulfonyl functional groups can be useful in improving the reactivity of many organic reaction components.
The goal of this Research Topic is to highlight work on the synthesis, using organic shell nanoparticles, of organic compounds, many of which have valuable biological and medicinal properties. Optimizing the methods of preparing these compounds is very important and the use of new nanoparticles can greatly help the development of this branch of chemistry.
We welcome submissions on themes including, but not limited to:
• Synthesis of novel organic shell nanocatalysts
• Use of organic-functionalized nanocatalysts for the synthesis of new organic compounds
• Introducing new methods of synthesis of organic compounds using effective nanocatalysts
• Characterization of the structure of nanoparticles by FE-SEM, TEM, EDS, TG, DRS, XRD, VSM, and FT-IR.
