Nanoparticles in Green Organic Synthesis

Nanoparticles in Green Organic Synthesis: Strategy towards Sustainability provides readers with the fundamental and latest practical uses of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) in organic synthesis followed by their promising multidimensional applications. It focuses on the latest emerging research on MNP synthesis and their applications from organic transformation to energy and environment, allowing readers to critically analyze the role of different MNPs in seeking ideas for widespread application. While the book deals with elementary depth analysis, particular care has also been given to provide a comprehensive account of MNPs and their modification for a variety of green platform-based derivatives focussing on the multifunctional technological evolution.

The demand for more efficient and green synthesis methods to construct synthetically useful organic molecules from simple and readily available precursors is growing unabated. Because of low toxicity, super stability, efficiency with green solvents, sustainability, and recyclability criteria, the use of MNPs as green catalysts is can satisfy these demands. The distinct advantages of MNPs make them an efficient and promising family of novel heterogeneous catalysts with long-term stability in various organic reactions. The book covers a wide range of applications in organic synthesis using variety of transition-metal-based nanoparticles in both homo- and heterogeneous media. It details the concept of catalyst design and recent developments in the preparation and characterization of nanomaterials, followed by several chapters on the design of catalysts for specific applications.

Nanoparticles in Green Organic Synthesis: Strategy towards Sustainability serves as a valuable resource for all those working in the fields of green chemistry, sustainability, material science and engineering, nanotechnology, energy, and environment.
