Catalytic activity of noble metals

Why not gold?

As the only exception in noble metals up to the 80s Au was catalytically inactive

Gold nanoparticles as catalyst

C + H2O CO + H2 syngas H2O CO2 + H2 water gas shift Hydrogen technology Low temperature, selective CO combustion:

the smaller the particle size, the higher the activity

Au NPs

 They can be easily obtained.  “Bare” small Au NPs (1-2 nm) tend to

grow

 The key issue is to stabilize small Au NPs  “Stabilized” nanoparticles are surrounded

by a ligand shell or supported on a solid

 Typically, for bulk materials, surface

atoms form a negligible part of the total number of atoms

Solventless aerobic alcohol oxidation and the green chemistry principles

1.

Avoid wastes (minimise E factor).

2.

Use tolerable reagents and produce non-toxic products.

3.

Use environmental friendly processes.

4.

Use renewable feedstocks.

5.

Develop more active and selective catalysts.

6.

Avoid derivatisation, protecting groups and isolations.

7.

Maximise the atomic economy.

8.

Use environmentally friendly solvents.

9.

Minimise energy consumption

10.

Use self- or bio- degradable products

11.

Real time analyses

12.

Minimise hazards

Role of Pd impurities in Au catalysis

  • Pd is a very efficient catalyst
  • Au contains 5-10 ppm of Pd
  • Has Au intrinsic activity?

High purity Au is also active for Sonogashira coupling

  • Au complexes of a single atom is not able

to promote Sonogashira

  • Au NPs are active
