Description:
Postsynthetic modification of magnetic nano ferrites (Fe3O4) has been accomplished by anchoring glutathione and dopamine on the surface. The Cu nano particles immobilized over these surfaces were investigated for the coupling and cyclo addition reactions. The Fe3O4-DOPA-Cu (nano-FeDOPACu) catalyst showed activity for C-S coupling reactions whereas Fe3O4-Glut-Cu (nano-FGT-Cu) catalyst was active for cyclo addition reactions and not vice versa.
