Developing heterogeneous metal nanocatalysts is highly desirable since the catalyst can be easily separated and reused for several times. In this manuscript, we have immobilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the surface of mesoporous silica (SiO[Formula: see text] using simple amino acid-based phenolic chelating molecules and utilized as highly reusable catalyst for nitroarene reduction. The synthesized nanocomposites (Au@SiO2-1 and Au@SiO2-2) have been unambiguously confirmed using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), high resolution-transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Interestingly, Au@SiO2-1 exhibited highly enhanced 4-nitrophenol reduction that was studied using absorption spectroscopy. Further catalytic activity of Au@SiO2-1 was also explored for 2-nitroaninline and 4-nitroaniline. The reusable studies demonstrated that the catalyst did not show significant change in the activity up to ten cycles. After catalytic reactions studies confirmed the strong attachment of AuNPs on the SiO2 matrix.

Synthesis of gold nanoparticles dispersed uniformly on mesoporous silica (mAu/SiO2) by homogeneous deposition–precipitation (HDP) method is used as an effective catalyst for reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol. Silica provides support and surface area to increase the catalytic activity of gold. X-ray photon spectroscopy revealed binding energy of Au 4[Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]84.0[Formula: see text]eV) and Au 4[Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]87.7[Formula: see text]eV) which support the formation of Au0 on SiO2 surface. Au/SiO2 showed Langmuir type-IV isotherms which are the characteristic features of mesoporous materials furthermore, pore size decreases with incorporation of Au NP’s on SiO2 surface. The enhancement is due to the strong interaction of Au0 with silica support. The catalytic conversion was studied by UV-Visible spectroscopy and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quantification method, which shows conversion of nitro group into amino group. In addition, the catalyst was easily separated and reused. The reusability of the catalyst exhibited better reduction of the 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol even after 10 consecutive cycles. In comparison to trisodium citrate capped pure gold nanoparticles mAu/SiO2 catalysts showed very good catalytic activity toward nitrophenol reduction. Here we conclude that embedment of metal catalysts like Au into high surface area support like silica is a positive step toward development of novel heterogeneous catalysts.
