SrFe12O19 supported Pd complex as a sustainable nanocatalyst for reduction of nitroarenes derivatives

A magnetic nanocatalyst was created by attaching a 2-aminobenzenethiol-Pd complex to functionalized SrFe₁₂O₁₉, resulting in a versatile catalyst with high conversion efficiency, reduced reaction time, mild conditions, recyclability, and enhanced stability. Structural analysis was conducted using techniques like XPS, ICP, EDS, XRD, TEM, SEM, TGA, VSM, and FT-IR. The SrFe₁₂O₁₉@SiO₂@TFA@AB-Pd catalyst effectively reduced nitroarene derivatives in a green medium, showcasing excellent recyclability with minimal efficiency loss over five cycles. A hot filtration test further confirmed its stability, highlighting its potential for sustainable industrial catalytic applications.
