Preparation of Hierarchically Structured Perlite NPs/Metformin-Co (II) System to Catalyze the Green Synthesis of Pyrazolopyranopyrimidines. [PDF]

open access: yesChemistryOpen
This study presents an innovative heterogeneous nanocatalytic system based on perlite nanoparticles (Perlite NPs/Met‐Co(II)). Comprehensive characterization using FTIR, XRD, field‐emission scanning electron microscopy, EDX, elemental mapping, TGA, and BET analyses confirms the hierarchically structure of nanocatalyst.
