Abstract

Fluorescent nanoaggregates of pentacenequinone derivative serve as reactors for the preparation of palladium nanoparticles in aqueous medium. Further, the combination of catalytic quantities of palladium nanoparticles with NaBH(4) smoothly reduces 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol in aqueous medium.
