Abstract:Recently, light-to-chemical energy conversion achieved by excitation of plasmon resonance on noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) has become a useful tool in organic synthesis to substitute harsh reaction conditions and complex catalytic systems. The rational design of plasmonic catalysts encompasses the manipulation of NP size to regulate both surface characteristics and optical properties. Here, we tested 3, 13, 22, 32, and 67 nm spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in the common model organic reactions, namely, … Show more
