Silver metal nanoparticles: Facile dendrimer‐assisted size‐controlled synthesis and selective catalytic reduction of chloronitrobenzenes

Abstract: A simple and versatile synthetic methodology to silver metal nanoparticles that utilizes 3,5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol-based dendrimers as templates and does not necessitate the addition of any external reducing agent is reported. An evaluation of the role of addition rate of the silver acetate solution, and the dendrimer to silver acetate molar ratio, as well as the dendritic effect on nanoparticle growth, suggests that the size of these metal nanoparticles can be controlled by simple variations of these parame… Show more

“…A special interest is devoted to dendrimers bearing terminal OH groups, which were found to display high affinity towards both carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) [9–12] and metals . OH group act as chelating agent for metals through the electron pair of the oxygen atom, and OH‐rich organic architectures should behave as host matrices for high dispersion and stabilization of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) beside their inherent sequestrating dendritic effect OH groups can be scaffolded on anchoring groups provided by (3‐azidopropyl)triethoxysilane (AzPTES).…”

“…Structurally pectin is a linear polysaccharide consisting of D-galacturonic acid units joined in chain by means of α-(1-4) glycosidic linkage (Figure 1b) [25,26]. The presence of functional groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl groups makes pectin an ideal molecule for complexing with various metals [27,28]. The presence of pectin molecules on the surface of the NPs is evident by the FTIR spectrum (Figure 3b).…”

“…Different types of polymer-based agents have been investigated for preparation of metal and non-metal particles [26][27][28][29][30][31]. Metal NPs, semiconductors, inorganic oxides, and quantum dots synthesis were also investigated, especially in the confined space of surfactants, inorganic templates, and polymeric stabilizing agents [32][33][34][35]. The structure of the metal particles can be significantly affected by the preparation technique [36][37][38][39].…”
