Silver(I) dithiocarbamate on modified magnetic cellulose: Synthesis, density functional theory study and application.

A magnetically retrievable catalytic system involving Ag(I) dithiocarbamate supported on functionalized cellulose was prepared. The structure of this hybrid nano-composite was characterized by various techniques. In addition, to describe the metal-ligand interactions present in the nano-composite, covalent and electrostatic interactions, density functional theory model and quantum theory of atoms in molecule method were employed.

Palladium acetate supported on amidoxime-functionalized magnetic cellulose: Synthesis, DFT study and application in Suzuki reaction.

A highly efficient and magnetically retrievable catalytic system involving Pd (II) acetate supported on amidoxime-functionalized cellulose nano-magnetic catalyst (nano-FeO@AOFC/Pd(II)) was prepared. The structure of the organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposite has been confirmed using various physicochemical techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, TGA, VSM, XPS, HRTEM, SAED, SEM, CHNS, EDAS and ICP-OES. In addition, to describe and go insight to the metal-ligand interactions present in the nano-FeO@AOFC/Pd (II) composite, covalent and electrostatic interactions, density functional theory (DFT) model and quantum theory of atoms in molecule method were employed.
