A variety of structurally diverse nitrogen nucleophiles including α-aminophosphonates, aliphatic and aromatic amines and imidazole were evaluated as Michael donors. Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indoles and pyrrole was also investigated through Michael addition reaction in the presence of TiCl<sub>2</sub>(OTf)-SiO<sub>2</sub> as a catalyst. The reactions were conducted at room temperature or 60 °C under solvent-free conditions and the desired Michael adducts were obtained in high to excellent yields.

The relative acidity of the prepared ionic liquids was evaluated by Hammet acidity function using UV-Vis spectroscopy. The catalytic effects of the obtained ionic liquids were investigated in the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones and thione derivatives through Biginelli reaction. Among N-methylimidazolium acetate [MImH][OAc], N-methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate [MImH][CF3CO2], 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridinium acetate [DMAPH][OAc] and 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridinium trifluoroacetate [DMAPH][CF3CO2], [MImH][OAc] provided the best results. Using 5 mol% of [MImH][OAc] as a catalyst, 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones and thione derivatives were obtained in high to excel...

First, colloidal Ag NPs were prepared by an electrochemical method under different time intervals and at different rotation speeds of rotating electrode. Next, in a reduction method, Ag/Co core-shell NPs were prepared, using Ag NPs as a core. The core-shell structure of Ag/Co NPs has been demonstrated by the Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern. The fluorescence emission spectra of Ag and Ag/Co NPs, at different ranges of excitation wavelength, were investigated, which revealed two kinds of fluorescence emission peak. The shorter emission peak was fixed at about 485 (for Ag NPs) and 538 nm (for Ag/Co NPs). For both NPs, with an increase in excitation wavelength, the latter emission peak becomes red-shifted. The effect of duration time and rotation speed of the rotating electrode, in the electrochemical preparation of Ag NPs, on its fluorescence emission spectra, has also been investigated.
