The structure and morphology of this nanoporous was thoroughly identified using FT-IR, FESEM, TEM, EDX, XRD, TGA, AAs and BET instrumental analyses. In the following, its catalytic performance in the three-component synthesis of 3-benzimidazolyl or benzthiazoleyl-1,3–thiazolidin-4-ones via reaction of 2-aminobenzimidazole or 2-aminobenzothiazole, aromatic aldehydes and thioglycolic acid in acetone-H2O and under green conditions was considered. Thus, a new and effective procedure for the green synthesis of N-heterocyclic thiazolidinediones was obtained with advantages such as the use of a safe and recyclable organometallic nanocatalyst, short reaction time, easy purification process, good to excellent yield, non-toxic solvent and ambient temperature.
