The synthesized silver particles show an intense surface plasmon band in the visible region. The work reported in this paper describes the effect of concentration of various additives (NaCl, NaBr, NaNO3, Na2SO4 and NaH2PO4) and ammonia on the growth and stability of Ag-nanoparticles. In all the cases the rate decreases as the [electrolytes] or [ammonia] increases. The nature, polarizability and coordinating ability of the anions play vital roles for nucleus formation and the growth process, which subsequently form different size particles. Transmission electron microscopy, selected areas electron diffraction, and UV-visible spectroscopy have been employed to characterize Ag-nanoparticles. The effect of the following variables on the particle size and size distribution was investigated: the [oxalic acid], [CTAB] and [Ag+].The nanoparticles are stable in NaNO3 and NaH2PO4 solutions;but NaCl, NaBr and Na2SO4 causes their aggregation.展开更多

The polymeric ligand on treatment with a solution of Copper chloride gave the corresponding metal complex. The polymer supported Cu(II) complex was characterized by elemental analyses, IR,GC-MS, scanning electron micrographs (SEM). The oxidation of various alcohols such as benzyl alcohol, 2-butanol, and 2-propanol was investigated using the supported metal complexes in presence of molecular oxygen as the oxidant. The swelling studies were done by using different solvents. Kinetic data indicate that the catalysts could be recycled without significant degradation of polymer matrix.展开更多
