Catalytic properties of supported gold nanoparticles in organic syntheses

摘要: Gold nanoparticles exhibit unique properties due to their ability form aggregates of atoms diverse morphology shapes and sizes which depend, a considerable extent, on specific features the nearest environment. The nature gold varies in wide range: from particles with pronounced Lewis acidic negatively charged bearing formal zero-valence charge. most examples new reactions catalyzed by include unsaturated compounds strong nucleophiles (such as amines) substrates. This short review provides digest catalytic nanoparticles. main attention is paid possible role certain forms metal reactions. Of special interest are effects synergism other active species or second metals present catalyst revealed size effect established.
