Abstract
A highly effective and fast processing method was reported for the preparation of several acridinedione derivatives using a catalytic amount of silica-containing MgZrO3 (SiO2:MgZrO3). The synthesized metal oxide material was characterized using FTIR, XRD, SEM-EDAX, TEM and BET surface area analysis. FTIR analysis confirmed the characteristic Mg–O vibrational band in the range of 600-400 cm–1, along with bands at 550 and 405 cm–1 attributed to Si–O and Zr–O stretching vibrations, respectively. XRD analysis revealed a well-defined crystalline structure consistent with JCPDS card No. 19-2936. SEM imaging demonstrated a uniform cubic surface morphology, while EDAX analysis confirmed the presence of Zr, Mg, Si and O, supporting the successful formation of the desired material. TEM images further revealed the morphological features of the material and the corresponding SAED pattern was consistent with the crystalline phases identified by XRD. The material exhibited a BET surface area of 103.25 cm2/g, which indicate a relatively high accessible surface area that may support its potential application in surface-mediated processes. Low catalytic loading of silica-containing MgZrO3 was found to be an economical and reusable catalyst for organic transformation. The obtained percentage yield of the product was good, with a cost-effective experimental setup and the final products were pure and facile. The catalyst can be reused several times without loss of product yield or activity.
