The magnetic Fe_3O_4 colloidal nanocrystal clusters（CNCs） as nano-core were modified with a silica coating for improvement stability and superficial area of the Au-Cu particles. The morphological structure and chemical composition of the Fe_3O_4@SiO_2-Au/Cu NPs were characterized with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy（HRTEM）, energy-dispersive X-ray（EDX） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS） analyses. The Au and Cu NPs were deposited on the SiO_2 surface in a highly dense and well dispersed manner with an average size of approximately 5 nm. The Fe_3O_4@SiO_2-Au/Cu NPs as magnetic nano-catalysts were applied to the Ullmann coupling reaction of bromamine acid to synthesize 4,40-diamino-1,10-dianthraquinonyl-3,30-disulfonic acid（DAS）. The prepared Fe_3O_4@SiO_2-Au/Cu NPs exhibited efficient catalytic activity with higher conversion and selectivity. A bromamine acid conversion of 97.35% and selectivity for DAS of 88.67% were obtained in aqueous medium. The magnetic nano-catalysts can be readily separated from the reaction system and reused. This new nano-catalytic reaction represents a useful and attractive cleaner production system. The new catalyst system has important and potential applications in dye and pigment industry.展开更多
