The green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) for catalytic and biological applications has been drawing great attention. To compare with plant extracts, the polysaccharides may be good reducing and stabilizing agents. In this work, we describe the preparation of longan polysaccharide stabilized gold nanoparticles (Aun-LP NPs) by reduction of gold ions using a green synthetic method. The formation of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) was confirmed by UV-Vis spectra. TEM showed that Au NPs had a small size (7.8–15.6[Formula: see text]nm) and were highly dispersed without any aggregation. XPS confirmed that the surface elemental composition of Aun-LP NPs was C, O, and Au. DLS demonstrated that Aun-LP NPs had good stability and negative zeta potential. In addition, Aun-LP NPs had high catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. More importantly, Aun-LP NPs had ignorable cytotoxicity towards HeLa cells and showed good antioxidant activity. Taken together, the results indicated that longan polysaccharide can be used as reducing agents and stabilizers for the preparation of metallic nanoparticles, and the product had wide applications.

Small palladium nanoparticles stabilized with phosphine-functionalized PIP displayed high catalytic activity for nitroarenes hydrogenation. Nano-size Pd particles, electron-donation effect of phosphine ligand, and surface wettability account for its excellent catalytic performance.

AbstractMelamine based polymer (MT) was prepared and then reacted with a mixture of glucose (Glu) and β-cyclodextrin (CD) under hydrothermal conditions to afford, MT/Glu-CD. Then, the adsorption of Pd salt was realized on MT/Glu-CD. The resulting compound was subsequently carbonized to furnish Pd/MT/C that exhibited high catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of nitroarenes in aqueous media. To elucidate the roles of CD, Glu, the molar ratio of Glu:CD and the carbonization in the catalytic activity, several control catalysts have been prepared and their performances for a model hydrogenation reaction were compared with that of Pd/MT/C. The results confirmed the importance of the carbonization as well as the presence of CD for achieving high catalytic activity. Moreover, it was found that the molar ratio of Glu:CD could affect the catalytic activity of the final catalyst and the optimum molar ratio of Glu:CD was 30:70. The recycling test as well as measurement of Pd leaching demonstrated high recyclability and low Pd leaching of Pd/MT/C.
