Facile synthesis of Fe3O4 nanoparticles on metal organic framework MIL-101(Cr): characterization and catalytic activity†
Abstract
Fe3O4 nanoparticles can be effectively incorporated into the matrix of MIL-101(Cr) to fabricate a Fe3O4@MIL-101 magnetite nanocomposite which behaves as a magnetic nanocatalyst for the solvent free oxidation of benzyl alcohol in the presence of TBHP. The composite material is magnetically separable and can be reused several times.
