CuI-ZSM5 and CuII-ZSM5 as reusable and heterogeneous nanocatalystswere synthesized and characterized using various techniques. The catalysts have been applied for the practical synthesis of various phenyl aryl/benzyl sulfides via one- pot and odorless processes fromthe reaction of triphenyltin chloride or phenylboronic acid as phenyl source with different aryl/benzyl halides in the presence of S8 as sulfur source and KF or KOH as S8 activator in DMF at 80 °C.
