Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CoFe2O4 MNPs) as catalyst and support: magnetically recoverable nanocatalysts in organic synthesis

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Recovery and reusability of catalysts is an important aspect in modern catalysis research especially in organic synthesis. Compared to the conventional separation, magnetic separation has emerged as a robust, highly efficient, easy and rapid separation technique for products and catalysts. Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles are a well-known material, recognized as CoFe2O4 MNPs, and can be used as both catalyst and a versatile support for functionalization of metals, organocatalysts. In recent times, catalysis research has clearly experienced a renaissance in the area of utility of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4 MNPs) nanocatalysts based on their ability for recovery and reusability; the activity of these CoFe2O4 MNPs was investigated in a category of organic reactions. In this review, the fabrication, characterization, and application of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4 MNPs) nanocatalysts (CF-MNPs) in organic reactions have well summarized.
