A robust synthesis and characterization of superparamagnetic CoFe2O4 nanoparticles as an efficient and reusable catalyst for green synthesis of some heterocyclic rings
A robust synthesis for magnetic CoFe2O4 nanoparticles via a hydrothermal technique was investigated. The prepared magnetic nanoparticles were characterized using powder X‐ray diffraction, scanning, transmission and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopies, energy‐dispersive X‐ray and infrared spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis and vibrating sample magnetometry. Based on the obtained data, the prepared powder was composed of ultrafine particles in nanometer size range with highly ... Read more

Some new nano-sized Fe(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) Schiff base complexes : Sonochemical synthesis, characterization, DNA interaction, in vitro antimicrobial and anticancer activities
The complexes of Fe(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) with Schiff base derived from 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridine and 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde have been prepared.
