The aggregates of pentacenequinone, HPB and PDI derivatives 3, 5 and 7 having aldehyde groups bind strongly with Ag+ and serve as reactors and stabilizers for the preparation of AgNPs at room temperature. In situ generated AgNPs show high catalytic efficiency for industrially important organic dye degradation.
Aggregates of the pentacenequinone derivative 1 act as reactors and stabilizers for rapid and facile preparation of Ag@Cu2O core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) in aqueous medium. The in situ generated Ag@Cu2O core-shell hybrid materials enabled efficient visible light harvesting to catalyse the palladium free Suzuki-Miyaura and Suzuki type cross coupling reactions at room temperature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
