In this study, the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) without carbon support were prepared using the well-known citrate reduction method. The carbon supported AuNPs nanocomposites were fabricated by two different approaches: chemical adsorption of AuNPs from the prepared citrate stabilized AuNP colloidal solution on the carbon powder surface and one-pot microwave-assisted synthesis. The nanocomposites were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The electrocatalytic activity of the prepared catalysts was evaluated for the electrooxidation of glucose in an alkaline media using cyclic voltammetry. The highest electrocatalytic activity was observed for the catalyst of carbon supported Au nanoparticles prepared by microwave-assisted synthesis, followed by the catalyst of carbon supported Au nanoparticles prepared by means of the adsorption method, whereas the pure Au nanoparticles without carbon support exhibited the lowest electrocatalytic properties for glucose electrooxidation.

The(3R,4R,6R)-3-(((E)-2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2,4,5-triol water-soluble Glucose amine Schiff base (GASB-1) product was made available by condensation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde with (3R,6R)-3-amino-6-(hydroxymethyl)-tetra-hydro-2H-pyran-2,4,5-triol under mono-mode microwave heating. A one-pot 5-minute microwave-assisted reaction was required to complete the condensation reaction with 90% yield and without having byproducts. The 3D structure of GASB-1 was solved from single crystal X-ray diffraction data and computed by DFT/6-311G(d,p). The Hirshfeld surface analysis (HSA), molecular electronic potential (MEP), Mulliken atomic charge (MAC), and natural population analysis (NPA) were performed. The IR and UV-Vis spectra were matched to their density functional theory (DFT) relatives and the thermal behavior was resolved in an open-room condition via thermogravimetry/Derivative thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The highest occupied molecular orbital/lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO/LUMO), density of state (DOS), and time-dependence TD-DFT computations were correlated to the experimental electron transfer in water and acrylonitrile solvents.

In this study, we report a straightforward strategy for Hg2+ ion detection. Fluorescent Au nanoparticles (NPs) were one-pot synthesized using a polymer (polyvinyl pyrrolidone [PVP]) as both capping and fluorescence agent. The as-synthesized PVP-Au NPs showed a remarkably rapid response selectively for Hg2+ ions compared to 14 other metal ions. The detection limit of Hg2+ was estimated at 100 nM. We discuss the emission and quenching mechanism of the PVP-Au NPs, the former being attributed to metal enhanced fluorescence and the latter being related to static quenching by Hg2+. The fluorescence of PVP-Au NPs offers an efficient and reliable strategy for Hg2+ ions detection. They therefore have a great potential for applications in health and environmental monitoring.
