Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications 2020 MayA nanometric carbon CMK-3 modified with octylimidazolium ionic liquid and MoO42- as a new hybrid catalyst was synthesized. The study is the first to report a successful immobilization of MoO4= on the CMK-3/OctIm as a hybrid nanocatalyst. A variety of analytical methods were utilized to determine the properties of the structure and morphology of the synthesized nanocatalyst [CMK-3/Im/MoO42-]. The analytical techniques were transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 isotherms (BET), IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). CMK-3/OctIm/MoO42- hybrid catalyst demonstrated a considerable catalytic activity. It is a recyclable nanocatalyst that is utilized to chemoselectively oxidize different types of sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides and benzylic alcohols to aldehydes using the green oxidant, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in high-yields. With a little leaching and variation in activity, it is possible to recover and reuse the catalyst frequently. A combination of molybdate anion and the CMK-3 order mesoporous carbon resulted in an improvement in the performance of catalysis and ease of separation for the reaction procedure.
