Abstract
The preparation of yolk-shell structured magnetic mesoporous composites is a significant subject between researchers. Especially, modification of theses composites with ionic liquid/metal complex is very important for catalytic processes. In the present study, a novel magnetic methylene-based periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO)-supported ionic liquid/Cu complex with yolk-shell structure (YS-Fe(3)O(4)@PMO/IL-Cu) was prepared via the soft template-assisted method. The TGA, FT-IR, SEM, EDX, XRD, VSM, nitrogen-sorption, and ICP techniques were employed to identify YS-Fe(3)O(4)@PMO/IL-Cu. The YS-Fe(3)O(4)@PMO/IL-Cu material was applied as a powerful nanocatalyst for the synthesis of pyranopyrazoles under ultrasonic media. The study demonstrated that the YS-Fe(3)O(4)@PMO/IL-Cu nanocatalyst is highly recyclable, selective, and effective. The leaching test was performed to investigate the nature of the designed catalyst under the applied conditions.
