Abstract
A strategy has been developed for the preparation of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) supported by porous aromatic frameworks (Au@PAF-184, Au@PAF-185) with high Au NPs loading, good stability and excellent activity. This approach contains two steps: the first step is ion exchange between cationic porous aromatic frameworks with NaAuCl4, fixing AuCl4− by the electrostatic interaction between anions and cations; the second step is reduction with NaBH4. Au@PAF-184 and Au@PAF-185 were successfully prepared accordingly. In comparison with the previously prepared similar types of materials such as Au@PAF-93 (2.86 wt% Au loading) and Au@PAF-94 (4.69 wt% Au loading) prepared by coordination and reduction, etc., the loading of Au NPs of Au@PAF-184 (24.2 wt% Au loading) and Au@PAF-185 (34.9 wt% Au loading) has increased by about 8 times. When employed as catalysts for nitrobenzene reduction, both Au@PAF-184 and Au@PAF-185 exhibited high catalytic activity and excellent reusability.
