Stabilized Naked Sub-nanometric Cu Clusters within a Polymeric Film Catalyze C-N, C-C, C-O, C-S, and C-P Bond-Forming Reactions
2015
[EN] Sub-nanometric Cu clusters formed by endogenous reduction of Cu salts and Cu nanoparticles are active and selective catalysts for C−N, C−C, C−O, C−S, and C−P bond-forming reactions. Sub-nanometric Cu clusters have also been generated within a polymeric film and stored with full stability for months. In this way, they are ready to be used on demand and maintain high activity (TONs up to 104 ) and selectivity for the above reactions. A potential mechanism for the formation of the sub-nanometric clusters and their electronic nature is presented.
Deposition of Cu Nanoparticles on the Surface of Metallic Aluminum
2012
Deposition of Cu particles by electrolysis at constant electrode potential and by internal electrolysis methods was investigated. The composition of deposited material was confirmed by optical and scanning electron microscope methods. Combination of electrolysis at constant electrode potential with internal electrolysis method was found most effective for fabrication of nanoparticle arrays. Single crystalline Cu particles are fabricated by internal electrolysis, while polycrystalline ones obtained by combined chronopotentiometric and internal electrolysis methods. The formation mechanism of Cu nanoparticles is described.
