Nanocasting, Template Synthesis, and Structural Studies on Cesium Salt of Phosphotungstic Acid for the Synthesis of Novel 1,3,5-Triaryl-pyrazoline Derivatives

The elimination of the silica matrix of composites by HF occurred by a two-step reaction deposition of a Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 (CsHPW) salt nanocrystal. We used 2D hexagonal SBA-15 silica as a template for the nanofabrication of CsHPW nanoparticles. Nanocast CsHPW materials are stable against leaching and colloidization in polar solvents. The catalytic performance of the nanocast CsFIPW materials exceeded that of bulk Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40, which is the most active among the acidic HPW salts. A series of novel 1,3,5-triaryl-pyrazoline derivatives were synthesized by the reaction between chalcone and phenylhydrazine in high yield in the presence of CsHPW salt nanocrystals.
