Additional data on the investigation of the reaction mechanisms for the production of silica hyperbranched polyethylene imine silver nanoparticle composites.

ABSTRACT: Silica-organic matrix-silver, nano-catalysts, were synthesized employing four different hyperbranched poly(ethylene imines) (MW 2000 to 750,000) to reduce Ag⁺ to metal nanoparticles and the formation of formation SiO₂ shells. The latter is performed at pH 7,5 employing three different pH regulating agents Hepes, Trizma, and Phosphate Salts. Characterization of the resulting materials with spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry (TG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and ζ-potential is reported. Kinetic studies of standard reactions, 4-nitrophenol and 4-nitroaniline reduction to 4-aminophenol and p-phenylenediamine, respectively by UV-Visible spectroscopy are also included. This data in brief article is related to the "Investigation of two Bioinspired Reaction Mechani
