Pérez, Dalton Trans., 2022, 51, 5250 DOI: 10.1039/D1DT04351J1477-92261477-9234 (electrónico)https://hdl.handle.net/10272/21357Gold nanoparticles stabilized by NHC ligands and supported onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO) catalyse the functionalization of cyclohexane and benzene C-H bonds upon insertion of carbene CHCO2Et (from N2=CHCO2Et) groups. This is the first example in which such Csp3 or Csp2 bonds are functionalized with this strategy with nanoparticulated gold. This Au-NP@rGO material shows an exceptional activity, providing TON values 5-10 times higher than those already reported for molecular gold catalysts. Recyclability is also effective, reaching an accumulate TON value of 1400 after six consecutive usesengAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/journal article10.1039/D1DT04351Jopen access23 Química
