Ag-embedded manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve (Ag-OMS-2) nano-rods as efficient heterogeneous catalysts for hydration of nitriles to amides in aqueous solution† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/d3ra00292f

ABSTRACT: Silver-embedded manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieve (Ag-OMS-2) nano-rods were synthesized using a pre-incorporation approach, and unambiguously characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). A highly uniform distribution of Ag nanoparticles embedded in the porous structure of OMS-2, was found to be in favor of high catalytic activity of the composite for hydration of nitriles to corresponding amides in aqueous solution. By using a catalyst dosage of 30 mg per mmol of substrate, in the temperature range of 80–100 °C, and reaction
