Catalytic Nanoparticles Design
Magnetite nanoparticles:
• Modified with moieties containing highly nucleophilic groups
• Selectively attack electrophilic groups such as P-O bonds
found in toxic organophosphates
• Contain charged group on the surface: colloidally stable in
water
Stabilizing α-nucleophile:
polymers H a heteroatom with an unshared
electron pair adjacent to the
C=N-OH nucleophilic center
α-nucelophiles:
Oxime oximates, phenolates, etc.
