Nitrogen-containing carbon nanotubes as solid base catalysts.
Nitrogen-containing carbon nanotubes (NCNT) are effective re-usable solid base catalysts, their activity for a Knoevenagel condensation being related to the amount of pyridinic nitrogen incorporated in the NCNT structure, which could be tuned by the synthesis parameters of the catalyst.
