摘要

Nanoparticles of platinum and palladium capped with polyaryl ether trisacetic acid ammonium chloride dendrimer in generation three (Pt-G3-NA and Pd-G3-NA) were prepared by an ethanol reduction method and characterized with UV-Vis, IR, TEM and XRD. The metal nanoparticles obtained are stable both in colloidal solution and in catalytic hydrogenation process since the relative strong interaction among the surface atoms of the nanoparticle and the acetic acid groups of the dendrimer. The catalytic activities of Pt and Pd dendrimer-metal nanoparticles were tested by the hydrogenation of m-phenoxy benzaldehyde. Under an atmospheric pressure of H-2, the conversion of m-phenoxy benzaldehyde was beyond 99 % after 12 It of reaction at 40 degrees C. The activity of catalytic hydrogenation of Pt-Gn-NA was higher than that of Pd-G3-NA at the same reaction conditions.
