Synthesis and characterization of CaCu3Ti4O12 nanoparticles for highly efficient azide–alkyne cycloaddition reactions

Copper nanoparticles efficiently catalyze the 1,3 dipolar Huisgen reaction, producing the 1,4 triazole isomer. In this research, calcium copper titanate nanoparticles were synthesized, and then their activity in the azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction and 1,2,3-triazole production was investigated. The structural and chemical composition of the synthesized material was analyzed using advanced techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area (BET), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). After identifying the nanoparticles, their catalytic activity was examined. The synthesis of this catalyst offers several advantages, including the potential to produce nanoparticles with high catalytic efficiency, performance under mild reaction conditions, the use of environmentally friendly solvents, and the possibility of reusing the catalyst. A comprehensive review of the catalytic activity of nanoparticles demonstrates their potential for various applications in organic synthesis and catalysis.
