| Research Abstract |
Boron-containing microparticles and hydrogels were prepared by boronate esterification of boronic acids with multi-hydroxy compounds and their functionalization was performed by taking advantage of the chemical property of boron. The boron-containing microparticles served as support materials for gold nanoparticle catalysts and the hybrids afforded aromatic amines, useful reactive intermediates forindustrial products, from aromatic nitro compounds. The boronate hydrogels served as scaffolds of sensor materials enabling fluorescent detection of heavy metal ion in water.
