A Substrate‐Selective Nanoreactor Made of Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Containing Catalytic Silver Nanoparticles

Abstract: An original, substrate‐selective nanoreactor is designed and characterized. The nanoreactor made of a 4‐nitrophonel (NP)‐imprinted polymer and Ag nanoparticles, can specifically recognize NP compared with its analogues 4‐nitrophenyl acetate (NPA) and 2,6‐dimethyl‐4‐nitrophenol (DNP). Under comparable conditions, this nanoreactor significantly accelerated the reduction of NP; however, much less acceleration is shown for its analogues. Unlike traditional Ag nanoreactors, which lack molecular recognition abilitie… Show more

“…These characteristic peaks can be attributed to the stretching vibration of O–H (N–H), C–H and C=O 12. The fingerprint band may arise from C–N and C–C bonds and their rotation 13. For comparison, we also included the FTIR spectra of two control polymers to Figure 3.…”

“…Li et al [45] presented a substrate-selective nanoreactor based on the high selectivity and recognition ability of MIPs, and the model reaction studied was the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (NP). The catalyst was obtained by bulk polymerization using vinylpyridine, divinylbenzene and AIBN as functional monomer, cross-linker and initiator respectively, whereas a complex between NP and Ag + was used as template during the imprinting process; the Ag precursor was then reduced and the imprinted NP was washed away.…”

“…11,12 The objective of this study is to demonstrate that catalytic polymer reactors that have hierarchical catalytic ability can be prepared by using this novel protocol, which opens up the opportunity to develop smart catalysts for controlled chemical processes. This polymer reactor (named "NiPR-HCS") was fabricated with nickel nanoparticles and a polymer composite containing "selfsorting" domains made of two different interactions, that is, weak hydrogen bonds (between PAAm and PTFMA) and relatively stronger polymer complexes (between PVIm and PTFMA) (PAAm: poly(acrylamide); PTFMA: poly(2-triuoromethylacrylic acid); PVIm: poly(1-vinylimidazole)).…”
