  • A method of forming TiO.sub.2—ZnO nanoparticles coated by a copper (II) complex includes forming a mononuclear copper complex by treating a ligand with Cu.sup.2+ ions; and immobilizing the mononuclear copper complex on TiO.sub.2—ZnO nanoparticles to obtain the TiO.sub.2—ZnO nanoparticle coated by the copper (II) complex. The TiO.sub.2—ZnO nanoparticles coated by a copper (II) complex thus produced have improved catalytic effectiveness and increased efficiency by reducing catalytic reaction time and temperature, particularly in methods of catalyzing oxidation of an alcohol or of catalyzing decarboxylative bromination of an acid.
