The real-time and selective detection of dopamine (DA) in complex biological systems remains a critical challenge due to its low physiological concentrations and interference from structurally similar biomolecules such as ascorbic acid and uric acid. Traditional analytical techniques often fall short in terms of specificity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of deployment in biological matrices. To address this gap, we developed a highly selective fluorescent nanosensor based on bentonite-supported Cu-based bimetallic nanoparticles (B/nZVCu-Ni/Ag), synthesized via a green route using Lawsonia inermis extract.

A stereo- and regio-selective addition of arenes to alkynes C-H bond functionalization has been developed using palladium nanoparticles supported on graphite oxide (Pd@GO) as the reusable catalyst. The prepared catalyst was characterized by various spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR, TEM, SEM, EDX, P-XRD, and XPS analysis. The thermal stability of the catalyst was established by TGA.

A heterogeneous copper-catalyzed A coupling reaction of aldehydes, amines, and alkynes for the synthesis of propargylamines and benzofurans has been developed. Here, the modified metal-organic framework MIL-101(Cr)-SB-Cu complex was chosen as the heterogeneous copper catalyst and prepared via post-synthetic modification of amino-functionalized MIL-101(Cr). The structure, morphology, thermal stability, and copper content of the catalyst were determined by FT-IR, PXRD, SEM, TEM, EDX, TGA, XPS, and ICP-OES.

Herein, the synthesis of graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) via the simple heating of cheap and readily available urea as the starting material has been reported. The catalytic activity of the prepared g-CN was investigated for the synthesis of chromeno[2,3-]pyridine and benzylpyrazolyl coumarin derivatives in an ethanol medium. The reactions were performed under mild conditions to achieve widely functionalized target products in a one-pot operation.
