	abstract = {<p>A series of MoO3/SiO2 catalysts with varying amounts of MoO3 has been synthesized and the catalytic activities of these were compared with the known solid acid catalysts in the synthesis of 1,3-dioxolane. MoO3/SiO2 catalyst showed a better activity and selectivity in 1,3-dioxolane synthesis compared to the other catalysts. MoO3/SiO2 catalyst system was further successfully applied for the synthesis of 1,3-dioxanes in the Prins cyclization of olefins and formaldehyde. The proposed catalyst was thermally stable and could be recovered and reused at least in four consecutive cycles with no significant loss in the substrates conversions and products selectivities.

	abstract = {Composites comprising of metallic nanoparticles in polymer matrices have allured significant importance due to multifunctionalities. Here a simple protocol has been described to embed Ni nanoparticles in carboxymethyl guar gum (CMGG) polymer. The composite formation helps in the stabilization of Ni nanoparticles which are otherwise prone towards aerial oxidation. Further the nanoparticles retain their superparamagnetic nature and catalytic capacity. Ni-Polymer composite catalyses the reduction of 4-Nitrophenol to 4-Aminophenol very efficiently in presence of NaBH4, attaining a complete conversion under some experimental conditions. Ni-Polymer composite is well characterized using UV{\textendash}vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XPS, powder XRD, TGA, SEM and TEM. A detailed magnetic measurement using superconducting quantum interference device-vibrating sample magnetometer (SQUID-VSM) reveals superparamagnetic behaviour of the composite.},
