Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are employed in numerous applications, including optics, biosensing, and catalysis. In their Communication (e202212459), Petra S. Dittrich et al. demonstrate the stabilizer-free electrochemical synthesis of AuNPs inside nanoliter-sized reactors. with sizes range 30 to 100 nm were produced without need for additional capping agents. This method opens way fine-tune prod...

The photoionization of three N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) has been studied in the valence and core regions using synchrotron radiation. We observed different variations in the relative band intensities with photon energy for the NHCs in the valence ionization region. This is due to the intra-ring interactions between the C=C bond, nitrogen and carbene lone pairs in the heterocyclic ring of NH...

The polymerization of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) is investigated using several five-, six- and seven-membered N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). The catalysts are delivered in situ from thermally susceptible CO2 adducts. It is demonstrated that the polymerization can be triggered from a latent state by mild heating, using the highly nucleophilic 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene as orga...
