	The efficient cascade synthesis of pharmaceutically valuable N-heterocycles at solvent-free conditions was achieved using a robust, recyclable MoOx/Nb2O5 nanocatalyst. The results of catalyst screening revealed that the MoOx/Nb2O5 nanorods, calcined at 500 degrees C (MoNb5), exhibit excellent catalytic activity in the oxidative coupling of benzylamine with 96.5% conversion and &amp;gt;99.6% selectivity to the desirable imine product. The uniform dispersion of Mo-oxide nanoparticles (average particle size: 5.2 +/- 0.5 nm) on shape-controlled Nb2O5 nanorods (width: 5.3 +/- 0.5 nm and length: 23-38 nm) in MoNb5 catalyst led to improved structural and acid properties, beneficial for the cascade C-N bond construction. The shape-controlled MoNb5 catalyst showed versatile activity in various cascade C-N coupling reactions to obtain 2-phenylbenzimidazole, 2-phenyl-quinaxoline, and 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one with good to excellent yields at solvent-free con-ditions. The optimum ratio of Lewis/Bronsted acid sites, the unique structure of Nb2O5 nanorods, and the strong MoO3-Nb2O5 interaction are the key reasons for the higher activity of MoNb5 catalyst. The efficient reusability of MoNb5 catalyst, its remarkable activity in diverse N-heterocycles synthesis, and efficient gram-scale synthesis emphasize its practical application for the cascade C-N coupling reactions under benign conditions.&lt;/p&gt;

	An efficient molybdenum-niobium-oxide nanomaterial was synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal method for selective C-O (glycerol ketalization) and C-N coupling (benzylamine oxidation) reactions. The catalytically favourable properties, such as defective metal sites, truncated surfaces, and uniform metal dispersion in the MoO3-Nb2O5 nanorods, calcined at 500 degrees C (MoNb OPS-5), were confirmed by Raman, HR-TEM, and STEM-EDX, respectively. Because of improved Lewis/Bronsted acidic strength, the MoNb OPS-5 catalyst showed higher activity in glycerol ketalization and benzylamine oxidation at mild conditions, giving superior selectivity to solketal (97%) and dibenzylimine (99%), respectively. The MoNb OPS-5 catalyst showed high structural stability and considerable good reusability efficacy.&lt;/p&gt;

	Microwave-assisted one-pot, one-step, calcination-free synthesis of nanosized Mn3O4 is reported using only benzylamine and manganese acetate. Benzylamine in this protocol plays a vital role for efficient microwave synthesis. This microwave method enables the synthesis of nanosized Mn3O4 in just few hours only in a single step eliminating the need of calcinations of any intermediate. The synthesized nanosized Mn3O4 was analyzed by XRD, HRTEM, EDAX, and Raman spectroscopy. The catalytic and electrochemical properties of as-synthesized Mn3O4 were investigated. In galvanostatic charge-discharge experiments, after 800 cycles, more than 89% capacitance was retained for electrodes made by as synthesized Mn3O4 nanomaterials indicating its very good stability. In the catalytic conversion of cinnamyl alcohol to cinnamaldehyde via oxidation, using as prepared nanosized Mn3O4 as a catalyst, it displays effective catalytic properties. A probable mechanical study of its formation was also envisaged. This synthesis protocol is additive-free, occurs in a short time, is facile, is energy efficient, and eliminates the use of many chemicals. These silent features make these reported protocols economically viable and environmentally benign which adhere to the principles of Green Chemistry.&lt;/p&gt;

	Microwave-assisted efficient synthesis of nanosized manganese oxide (Mn2O3) is reported using glycerol and manganese acetate. Glycerol in this reported methodology acts as an efficient solvent for this nanomaterial synthesis under microwave radiation. This reported method enables the synthesis of nanosized Mn2O3 without further use of additives, stabilizers, and bases other than glycerol and manganese precursor. Glycerol is a renewable biomaterial derived nonvolatile and nontoxic, safe solvent. It has a high boiling point and dielectric constant, which makes it an ideal solvent for microwave synthesis. The synthesized nanosized Mn2O3 was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy. We examined the catalytic properties of as-synthesized Mn2O3 for cinnamyl alcohol oxidation to cinnamaldehyde. In this oxidation activity experiment, nanosized Mn2O3 exhibits good conversion and selectivity towards the desired product. We also made an attempt to understand the probable mechanism of nanomaterial formation and found some conclusive evidence to support it. This research methodology is facile, energy efficient, and involves minimum chemicals for synthesis. It makes this reported methodology not only economically attractive but also environmentally friendly, which aligns well with green chemistry principles.&lt;/p&gt;
