title: Exploration of magnetically separable Ag@AgxNiy core/graded-alloy-shell nanostructures.
abstract: We report novel bimetallic Ag@AgxNiy core@graded-alloy-shell nanoparticles (CGAS NPs), i.e. single Ag core NPs shelled by an AgxNiy graded alloy and stabilized by the CTAB surfactant employing a novel synthesis method. These Ag@AgxNiy CGAS NPs demonstrated superior catalytic performance in the synthesis of biologically active 3-amino alkylated indoles under green conditions.
