Abstract We have synthesized Schiff’s base of Fe3
O4
@chitosan with 4,4'-diselenobisbenzaldehyde
(Fe3O4
@CSSe) composite and used it as acatalyst for the oxidation of sulfides, having some
advantageous properties such as eco-friendly, cost-effective and highly efficient magnetic
biocatalyst of selenium. The synthesized schiff’s base was characterized by different physical
characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray
diffraction (XRD), Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM)and Dynamic light scattering (DLS).
Further, we used the resulting schiff’s base as a catalyst in the presence of a green oxidant
(H2
O2
) to oxidize sulfides to corresponding sulfoxides at room temperature. It More >
