Preparation of Mg-doped Ce-Zr solid catalysts and their catalytic potency for the synthesis of 5-arylidene-2,4-thiazolidinediones via Knoevenagel condensation. S.Afr.j.chem.

A series of Mg-doped Ce-Zr mixed oxides with different molar ratios were prepared by a simple co-precipitation method. The surface characterization of these materials were investigated by means of XRD, FT-IR, SEM-EDS, CO₂-TPD and BET techniques. The catalytic activity of the prepared materials was tested by synthesizing of 5-arylidene-2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives via a Knoevenagel condensation using aromatic aldehydes and 2,4-thiazolidinedione in ethanol:water medium. The best catalytic activity was obtained with Ce₁Mg_0.6Zr_0.4O₂. The particle size or crystallite size was estimated using the Debye-Scherrer equation. Addition of MgO to the Ce-Zr mixed metal oxides affected both particle size and catalytic activity.

Palabras clave : Mg-doped Ce-Zr oxide; surface characterization; co-precipitation; 5-arylidene-2; 4-thiazolidinedione.
