Magnetic properties were added to SPPTPA catalysts by depositing Fe(sub3)O(sub4) nanoparticles to develop (FeSPPTPA) solid acid catalysts, for performing dehydration of fructose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which is regarded as a sustainable source for liquid fuels and commodity chemicals. XRD, FTIR spectroscopy, SEM, TGA, and N(sub2) sorption techniques were used to characterize synthesizedmaterials. The FeSPPTPA80 nanocatalyst showed superior catalytic activities in comparison to other catalysts due to the nanorods that formed after sulfonation of the PPTPA polymericmaterial which gave the catalyst enough catalytic centers for dehydration reaction of fructose. The recyclability tests revealed that themagnetic solid acid catalysts could be reused for four consecutive catalytic runs, whichmade FeSPPTPA a potential nanocatalyst for production of HMF.FulltextenPorous organic polymerAcid catalystFructoseDehydration5-hydroxymethylfurfuralArticleSebati, N.
