Catalytic Application Of Copper Iodide Nanoparticles In Organic Synthesis

Nanocatalysts are very much efficient than the traditional catalysts because of their large surface to mass ratio, high absorbing ability, simple and high reusability. Copper nanoparticles have been investigated as a new class of heterogeneous nanocatalyst for a diverse range of chemical reactions. In this category, copper iodide nanoparticles (CuI NPs) have received a lot of interest among synthetic chemists due to their valuable advantageous such as high atom economy, inexpensive, simple preparation, readily available and reusability of the catalyst. The present review focuses on the developments in the chemistry of CuI NPs-catalyzed chemical reactions. The review aims to comprehensively discuss relevant work, which was mainly done in the field in recent times.
