Silver nanoparticles (Ag(0) NPs) were synthesized by the chemical reduction method, in which ceftriaxone (antibiotic) used as reducing (to convert Ag+ to Ag(0)) and capping agent. UV–Visible spectroscopy revealed the first indication of formation of Ag(0) NPs. FT-IR spectroscopy showed the interaction of formation of bonding between antibiotic standard and silver. X-ray powder diffraction powder pattern confirmed the crystalline nature of prepared Ag(0) NPs. These Ag(0) NPs were used as catalyst for three organic hazardous chemicals i.e., 4-nitro-1,3-Phenylene diamine, 6-methyl-2-nitroanilline, 4-methyle-2-nitroanilline. The prepared Ag(0) NPs showed good catalytic activity against these compounds
