  4. Abstract:
  5. A manganese(III) complex, [Mn(phox)2(CH3OH) 2]ClO4 (phox = 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)oxazoline), was immobilized on silica-coated magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles through the amino propyl linkage using a grafting process in dichloromethane. The resulting Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2@Mn(III) nanoparticles are used as efficient and recyclable catalysts for selective oxidation of thiols to disulfides using urea-hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. The nanocatalyst was recycled several times. Leaching and recycling experiments revealed that the nanocatalyst can be recovered, recycled, and reused more than five times, without the loss of catalytic activity and magnetic properties. The recycling of the nanocatalyst in six consecutive runs afforded a total turnover number of more than 10,000. The heterogeneous Fe3O 4@SiO2-NH2@Mn(III) nanoparticle shows more selectivity for the formation of disulfides in comparison with the homogeneous manganese complex
