The promotional effect of gold in catalysis by palladium-gold.

Selectivity, Compatibility, Downstream Functionalization, and Silver Effect in the Gold and Palladium Dual-Catalytic Synthesis of Lactones

The chemo- and regioselectivity and functional group compatibility in gold and palladium cooperatively catalyzed cross-coupling reactions were determined in the synthesis of lactones; the selectivity in the gold and palladium dual-metal catalysis system was distinct from that available for the same class of substrates in systems with only gold catalysis or only palladium catalysis rather than d...

Versatile routes for synthesis of diarylamines through acceptorless dehydrogenative aromatization catalysis over supported gold-palladium bimetallic nanoparticles.

Diarylamines are an important class of widely utilized chemicals, and development of diverse procedures for their synthesis is of great importance. Herein, we have successfully developed novel versatile catalytic procedures for the synthesis of diarylamines through acceptorless dehydrogenative aromatization. In the presence of a gold-palladium alloy nanoparticle catalyst (Au-Pd/TiO2), various s...

CO combustion on supported gold clusters.

Recent progress in the understanding of the fascinating catalysis of CO combustion by supported gold particles is summarized. Focusing on size-selected gold clusters consisting of only a few atoms, that is, the size regime with properties nonscalable from the bulk properties, we discuss the current knowledge of the different factors controlling the reactivity at the molecular level. These facto...

Two-phase electrocatalysis by aqueous colloids

In this work, the combination of the advantages of two-phase catalysis, electrocatalysis and colloid catalysis is presented. It is shown that palladium or gold colloids prepared by citrate reduction can be charged negatively in a heterogeneous two-phase reaction and subsequently used as aqueous catalysts for dehalogenation reactions. This can be regarded as a new type of electrocatalysis. 2002 ...
