Abstract
ABSTRACTGuanidylated poly(2,6‐dimethyl‐1,4‐phenylene oxide) (GPPO) hollow fiber membrane (HFM) supported Au nanoparticles are prepared by a simple adsorption‐reduction of Au3+ with sodium borohydride as a reducing agent and polyvinyl pyrrolidone as a dispersant. The novel heterogeneous catalyst shows high catalytic activity for the reduction of various aromatic nitro compounds in an aqueous medium at room temperature and can be easily reused for several runs, for example, for the reduction of nitrobenzene, the yield reaches up to 92% even after 10 cycles, indicating the potential application of GPPO HFM as a catalysts support material for sustainable chemistry. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
