Ag nanoparticles immobilized on new mesoporous triazine-based carbon (MTC) as green and recoverable catalyst for reduction of nitroaromatic in aqueous media.

In this research, we reported an effective method for the synthesis of a new mesoporous triazine-based carbon (MTC) substrate and its application as the green and recoverable catalyst in the synthesis of organic compounds. The porous carbon acted as a substrate for silver active species after its surface modification by chloroacetonitrile (Ag@MTC). The Ag@MTC nanocatalyst was characterized by several techniques namely, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis, and inductively coupled plasma.
