Description

Application

• Synthesis of some derivatives of 1,8-dioxo-octa-hydro xanthene and 9-aryl-hexahydro acridine-1,8-dione using metal ion-exchanged NaY zeolite as heterogeneous catalyst.: This paper discusses the synthesis of derivatives using metal ion-exchanged NaY zeolite as a catalyst. The study provides insights into ammonium nitrate′s role in catalytic processes (Niasar and Moradian, 2024).



• The Effect of the Solution Flow and Electrical Field on the Homogeneity of Large-Scale Electrodeposited ZnO Nanorods.: This research examines how solution flow and electrical fields affect the homogeneity of electrodeposited ZnO nanorods, highlighting the use of ammonium nitrate in the deposition process (Zhao et al., 2024).



• Development of an oxazole-based cleavable linker for peptides.: This research focuses on the development of an oxazole-based cleavable linker for peptides, utilizing ammonium nitrate in the synthesis process (Taggart et al., 2024).
