The preparation, characterization, and catalytic activity of W(CO) 6 supported on multi-wall carbon nanotubes modified with 4-aminopyridine is reported. The catalyst, [W(CO) 5 @Apy-MWCNT], was characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods and found to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for green epoxidation of alkenes with hydrogen peroxide in MeCN solvent. The catalyst showed good stability and reusability properties in the epoxidation reactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
