A heterostructured Schiff base ligand (Benzildiethylenetriamine)-Silver-Guar gum encapsulated nanocomposites was intended to prepare by simple sonication assisted reflux method. Appropriate composition of purified guar gum, Schiff base ligand and silver nitrate were used for the synthesis. The synthesised nanocomposites were characterised by photoluminescence spectrum, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The crystalline peaks of XRD and FTIR reveals that Schiff base ligand and guar gum forms metal-organic matrix. Morphology studies have confirmed the organic framework structure and metallic silver nanoparticles are embedded on the organic framework. The efficiency of nanocomposites depends on adsorption capacity and silver nanoparticles that are encapsulated thereby increasing the visible light absorption through surface plasma resonance. The nanocomposite was proved to be highly selective in hydrogenation reaction which favoured the formation of aniline from nitrobenzene as single product with short reaction time and 90% conversion.
