S-H stretching vibrations of mercaptosuccinic acid appears in 2800 cm−1، C-H stretching vibrations appears in 2880 cm−1 and C-S appears in 1450 cm−1. This indicated that the mercaptosuccinic acid was successfully …show more content…
In the first step, Fe3O4 NPs were prepared from the co-precipitation method (a). In the second step, immobilization and solubilization were performed by sonicating the mixture of Fe3O4 and mercaptosuccinic acid in water (b). Thirdly, Pd2+ and Ni2+ ions attached on to the surfaces of the Fe3O4 spheres by using the interaction between the S-H groups of the mercaptosuccinic acid and the metal ions and self-assembled (c). In the next step, the growing process initiated by the addition of NaBH4 (d), and Pd-Ni/Fe3O4 core-shell structures were made after crystal growing …show more content…

Since the catalyst can be separated from the reaction mixture using external magnetic field, therefore it recovered with a simple magnet after dilution of the reaction mixture with CH2Cl2. The results exhibited that the catalyst can be reused at least for six consecutive cycles without noticeable losing activity (Figure 5). Figure 5.
