The material was catalytically explored in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling for synthesis of different biaryl compounds under aqueous conditions. The catalyst, Au NPs@GG, resulted the related products in good yields at short reaction times. Furthermore, one of the widely utilized antioxidant techniques, DPPH, was employed to study the antioxidant potential of Au NPs@GG. The DPPH test findings demonstrated that Au NPs@GG had superior antioxidant qualities when compared to the controls. The antioxidant test revealed that Au NPs@GG had an IC<sub>50</sub> of 135 µg/mL. The Au NPs@GG nanocomposite showed no cytotoxicity on the normal cell line, while its cell viability against bladder cancer (5637 and TCCSUP) cell lines was extremely low. The TCCSUP cell line exhibited the best anti-human bladder cancer characteristics of the nanocomposite when compared to the aforementioned cell lines.

Different amounts of NaOH will produce different intermediates, and these intermediates further affect the pH value of the entire reaction system. The pH value of the system plays a decisive role in the deprotonation process of the ligand in the reaction, and this process is the key to whether the ZIF-8 structure can be formed. It is worth mentioning that the ZIF - 8 synthesized in this study demonstrates varying removal performances for different dyes under different conditions. Under specific conditions, it exhibits the maximum removal rate for Rhodamine B (RhB), reaching 99.97 %. This excellent removal performance is closely associated with the pore - structure characteristics of the synthesized material, which fully indicates that the ZIF - 8 synthesized through the green route has certain application potential and promising application prospects in related fields.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":374,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Organometallic Chemistry","volume":"1031 ","pages":"Article 123591"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143578416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
