Abstract- Pyrogallol (PG) and formaldehyde condensation reaction was carried out to prepare the pyrogallol-formaldehyde nano res<strong>in</strong><br />

(PGNR). Polymerization of formaldehyde with PG was performed at optimal conditions obta<strong>in</strong>ed from literature to establish the nano<br />

res<strong>in</strong> formulation. Obta<strong>in</strong>ed nano res<strong>in</strong> was used as adsorbent for adsorption of rhodium (III) ions from solutions. PGNR was<br />

characterized by SEM, EDS and FTIR-ATR spectroscopy, respectively.<br />

Conventional syntheses of polyphenol res<strong>in</strong>s are<br />

classified <strong>in</strong>to chemical and enzymatic methods. In the<br />

chemical methods, phenol reacts with formaldehyde <strong>in</strong><br />

acidic or alkal<strong>in</strong>e media, form<strong>in</strong>g novolac and resol res<strong>in</strong>s.<br />

These polymers characteristically possess high mechanical<br />

strength, durability to chemicals, and <strong>in</strong>sulation properties,<br />

and thus have applications <strong>in</strong> the automobile and electrical<br />

<strong>in</strong>dustries. The phenol unit <strong>in</strong> polyphenol as an electron<br />

donor is oxidized to qu<strong>in</strong>one, and the nobel metal ions<br />

accept electrons from the polyphenol, generat<strong>in</strong>g nobel<br />

metal particles. Nobel metal particle growth via electrontransfer<br />

reactions between organic molecules and metal<br />

ions has been used <strong>in</strong> the field of nanobiotechnology to<br />

develop novel bioelectronics and biosensor systems [1].<br />

Pyrogallol (PG) consist of an aromatic r<strong>in</strong>g bear<strong>in</strong>g three<br />

adjacent hydroxyl groups (position 1,2 and 3), leav<strong>in</strong>g<br />

three free sites on the r<strong>in</strong>g. Reactivity considerations show<br />

that the hydroxyl functions enhance the reactivity of<br />

positions 4 and 6. The rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g position (5) whould have<br />

the same degree of activation as phenol. These three<br />

possible reactive sites permit the eventual formation of a<br />

tridimensional network dur<strong>in</strong>g polymerization as <strong>in</strong> the<br />

case of phenol. Thus, we decided to study the reactivity of<br />

PG <strong>in</strong> the synthesis of PGNR [2].<br />

Alkal<strong>in</strong>e-catalyzed PGNR are prepared similar to phenolformaldehyde<br />

res<strong>in</strong>s. There are two steps lead<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

formation of PGNR: methylolation and condensation<br />

reactions.<br />

Adsorption capacity of PGNR was found to be 32 mg/g<br />

Rh (III) from Langmuir isotherm. The morphology and<br />

size of PGNR was <strong>in</strong>vestigated us<strong>in</strong>g SEM and the SEM<br />

image was showed <strong>in</strong> Fig. 1. The FTIR spectra analysis of<br />

PG, PGNR and Rh adsorbed PGNR were caried out [2, 3].<br />

Figure 2 represent the FTIR-ATR spectra of PG, PGNR<br />

and Rh adsorbed PGNR. The ma<strong>in</strong> bands and their<br />

assigments <strong>in</strong> PG are as follows: stretch<strong>in</strong>g vibrations of<br />

the aromatic r<strong>in</strong>g (C-C)/(C=C) at 1620, 1518, 1483,<br />

1361 cm -1 , stretch<strong>in</strong>g vibrations of the phenolic group<br />

(C-OH) at 1518, 1313, 1286, 1242, 996 cm -1 , bend<strong>in</strong>g<br />

vibrations of the phenolic group (C-OH) at 1483, 1362,<br />

1186, 1156 cm-1 and bend<strong>in</strong>g (C-H) at 1138, 1061 cm -1 .<br />

Formation of PGR leads to obvious changes <strong>in</strong> FTIR<br />

spectra: complete disappearance of the bands at 1518,<br />

1362, 847 to 762 cm -1 , shiff of the band at 1043 to<br />

996 cm -1 . The band <strong>in</strong>tensities between 1314 and<br />

1061 cm -1 are reduced and some of them are comb<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong><br />

the spectrum of the PGNR. This situation may be<br />

attributed to the phenolic –OH groups. Also, the formation<br />

of –CH 2 – O – CH 2 – l<strong>in</strong>kage appeared at 1198 cm -1 . The<br />

peak <strong>in</strong>tensities at 1517 and 1483 cm -1 is reduced due to<br />

the formation of – CH 2 – l<strong>in</strong>kage [4-6]. When the spectra<br />

of Rh adsorbed PGNR were compared with the spectrum<br />

of the PGNR, the small peak serias at 1294 and 1043 cm -1<br />

are comb<strong>in</strong>ed and reduced peak <strong>in</strong>tensities, because of<br />

PGNR-Rh complex formation between Rh and some<br />

phenolic groups of PGNR [4-6]. This study was supported<br />

by the Scientific Research Projects Commission of Sakarya<br />

University (Project number: 2009 50 02 005).<br />
