Ferrite nanocatalysts in coupling reactions

Abstract

Coupling reactions are widely used in industrial and petrochemical processes to produce dyes, pigments and polymers. The products of coupling reactions are usually a building block in the structure of most pharmaceutical and biological molecules. In recent times, ferrite nanocatalysts have received significant attention of many chemists or researchers due to their unique properties such as: high stability, high activity and simple separation. In this respect, numerous methods have been recently reported based on applying ferrite nanomaterials as catalyst for the performance of coupling reactions. In this review, we discussed on ferrite nanomaterials and their catalytic activity in a library of coupling reactions.
