The evaluation of dendrimer encapsulated ruthenium nanoparticles, immobilised on silica, as catalysts in various catalytic reactions and the effect of ionic liquids on the catalytic activity

Ph.D. (Chemistry) === This study discusses the preparation of various sized dendrimer encapsulated ruthenium nanoparticles (RuDEN) with the use of the generation 4 (G4), generation 5 (G5) and generation 6 (G6) hydroxyl-terminated poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM-OH) dendrimers as templating agents. The size...
