Magnetic supported ionic liquids are a unique subclass of ionic liquids that possess the ability to respond to external magnetic fields, combining the advantageous properties of traditional ILs with this magnetic responsiveness. A novel magnetic ionic nanocatalyst of FeO@SiO@CPTMS-DTPA was prepared by anchoring an ionic liquid, CPTMS-DTPA, onto the surface of silica-modified FeO. The morphology, chemical structure and magnetic property of the magnetic ionic nanocatalyst structure was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, and thermogravimetric analysis.

This study investigates the repurposing of asphaltene, a petroleum waste product, as a catalyst for organic reactions. Sulfonated asphaltene was synthesized and evaluated for its efficacy in catalyzing the Mannich reaction, displaying notable diastereoselectivity and operating effectively under mild conditions. Characterization of the catalyst's chemical composition, structure, and thermal stability was conducted using FT-IR, TGA, XRD, CHN, BET-BJH, SEM, and EDS analyses.

Deep eutectic solvent (DES) has been considered as a useful catalyst and reaction medium for various organic transformations. Herein, we report the catalytic application of novel deep eutectic solvent- based surfactant (DES surfactant) for the selective and fast oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes. The readily accessible DES surfactants (FeCl/BHDC) was prepared using inexpensive ferric chloride (FeCl) and benzyl hexadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride in a simple manner.

An open new perspective has been established toward synthesizing eco-friendly CSA@g-CN employing surface engineering. The carbon nitride modified through camphorsulfonic acid was designed and developed in a category of the new generation of photocatalysts for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and thioanisole in the existence of a natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES). In comparison with pure g-CN, not only does CSA@g-CN exhibit an extraordinarily higher ability for harvesting visible light stemming from declining the recombination rate of electrons/holes dependent on PL results but it also reveals notable photocatalytic oxidation capability in the transformation of alcohols as well as thiols into relevant compounds.

A pioneering robust and green heterogeneous acidic catalyst (CSA@g-CN) was rationally designed via immobilization of camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) on the g-CN surface under mild conditions. Grafting CSA in the g-CN lattice is distinguished as the root cause of facilitating the structure change of g-CN, leading to a unique morphology, accordingly the remarkable catalytic efficiency of CSA@g-CN. The morphology of new as-prepared nano-catalyst was specified by means of FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM, TGA, and BET.
