Probing the interaction of hydrogen with supported gold nanoparticles
Small gold nanoparticles (1-5 nm) supported on metal oxides are extremely active catalysts for C-C coupling, aerobic oxidations and selective hydrogenations. The interaction of... -
Direct measurement of the Au-D bond
Gold is historically thought of as an inert metal, and so investigation of its chemistry has been under-investigated. In 1986 it was shown that gold can be incredibly active as...
