The most important of these is the money.
请问这句话里的 important 是名词吗?查字典只有形容词用法,但形容词可以接of吗?
The most important of these is the money.
这是倒装句。主语是the money, the most important是形容词最高级作表语,of these是介词短语作最高级的范围状语。正常语序是:
The money is the most important of these.
范围状语还可以置于句首:Of these,the money is the most important.
类似的句子:Of the three girls, Mary is the most beautiful.
Mary is the most beautiful of the three girls.
The most beautiful of the three girls is Mary.

你的句子中的 important 仍是形容词,这里后接 of 可以理解为important 后面省略了不言而喻的名词,如 thing, question 等。如:
The most important thing of these is the money.
The most important question of these is the money.
类似的例句如:
The third requirement is the most important of all. 第三条要求是所有要求中最重要的。(important 后面省略了one 或 requirement)
One of the most important of the island’s defences is against erosion or inundation by the sea. 岛上最重要防卫工程之一用于防海水冲蚀或泛滥。(important后面省略了defences)
