Eight precatalysts containing carboxylic-functionalized thiourea ligands are prepared and their activities and recyclability are evaluated in aerobic aqueous Suzuki–Miyaura reactions. A bulky monothiourea–Pd complex, functionalized with four carboxylic groups, shows the best activity and recyclability in the coupling of aryl bromides with arylboronic acids. The catalyst can be reused at least five times without any significant reduction in its catalytic activity. TEM analysis and the confirmed catalytic activity of the observed black precipitate reveal that Pd nanoparticles are formed during the reactions and are stabilized by the carboxylic-functionalized thiourea ligands.

The most important model catalytic reaction to test the catalytic activity of metal nanoparticles is the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol by sodium borohydride as it can be precisely monitored by UV–vis spectroscopy with high accuracy. This work presents the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-Nip) to 4-aminophenol (4-Amp) in the presence of Pd nanoparticles and sodium borohydride as reductants in water. We first evaluate the kinetics using classical pseudo first-order kinetics. We report the effects of different initial 4-Nip and NaBH4 concentrations, reaction temperatures, and mass of Pd nanoparticles used for catalytic reduction. The thermodynamic parameters (activation energy, enthalpy, and entropy) were also determined. Results show that the kinetics are highly dependent on the reactant ratio and that pseudo first-order simplification is not always fit to describe the kinetics of the reaction. Assuming that all steps of this reaction proceed only on the surface of Pd nanoparticles, we applied a Langmuir−Hinshelwood model to describe the kinetics of the reaction. Experimental data of the decay rate of 4-nitrophenol were successfully fitted to the theoretical values obtained from the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model and all thermodynamic parameters, the true rate constant k, as well as the adsorption constants of 4-Nip, and BH4− (K4-Nip and KBH4−) were determined for each temperature.

In this work, water-soluble Fe3O4 nanopowder with mesoporous structure was prepared by the thermal decomposition of Fe-urea complex ([Fe(NH2CONH2)6](NO3)3) in triethylene glycol (TEG), and the effects of reflux time and the concentration of precursor on the properties of Fe3O4 nanopowder were investigated. In addition, the adsorptive properties of the material were studied using Cr(VI) as a target pollutant. Prolonging reflux time and increase in concentration of [Fe(NH2CONH2)6](NO3)3 in TEG can effectively improve the crystallinity and magnetic properties of the Fe3O4 nanopowder. The saturation magnetization (Ms) increases from 21.4 to 48.5 emu/g when the reflux time increases from 2 to 20 h. The maximum adsorption capacity of the Fe3O4 nanopowder for Cr(VI) is estimated to be 21.6 mg/g.
