        abstract = {The nitration of aromatic compounds is a key transformation in organic synthesis, traditionally carried out using hazardous liquid acids and organic solvents, which pose environmental and safety concerns. In this study, we report an efficient, eco-friendly, and solvent-free method for nitrating various aromatic compounds using solid acid catalysts such as zeolites, sulfated metal oxides, and supported heteropoly acids. The reactions proceed smoothly at moderate temperatures, offering high selectivity and good to excellent yields of mononitrate products. Catalyst reusability and ease of product isolation further enhance the green credentials of this protocol. This approach aligns with the principles of green chemistry and presents a sustainable alternative to conventional nitration methods, minimizing waste generation and eliminating the need for corrosive acids and volatile solvents.},
