Gold nanoparticle-loaded SrTiO3 (Au/SrTiO3) effectively catalyzes the selective C–C bond formation between 2-naphthol molecules to yield BINOL in the presence of H2O2, and the catalytic activity increases with decreasing Au particle size (d) in the range 2.6 ≤ d ≤ 8.9 nm.

Mono- and dinuclear gold complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been employed as catalysts in the intermolecular hydroarylation of alkynes with simple unfunctionalised arenes. Both mono- and dinuclear gold(III) complexes were able to catalyze the reaction; however, the best results were obtained with the mononuclear gold(I) complex IPrAuCl. This complex, activated with one equivalent of silver tetrafluoroborate, exhibited under acidic conditions at room temperature much higher catalytic activity and selectivity compared to more commonly employed palladium(II) catalysts. Moreover, the complex was active, albeit to a minor extent, even under neutral conditions, and exhibited lower activity but higher selectivity compared to the previously published complex AuCl(PPh3). Preliminary results on intramolecular hydroarylations using this catalytic system indicate, however, that alkyne hydration by traces of water may become a serious competing reaction.

The ability of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to catalyze reactions involving radicals is poorly studied. However, AuNPs are used in applications where chemical reactions involving transient radicals occur. Herein, we investigate AuNPs’ catalytic effect on 2-propanol oxidation and acetanilide hydroxylation in aqueous solutions under ionizing radiation at room temperature. In both cases, the presence of AuNPs led to selective oxidation of organic radicals, significantly changing the products’ composition and ratio. Based on these observations, we stress how AuNPs’ catalytic activity can affect the correctness of reactive oxygen species concentration determination utilizing organic dyes. We also provide a discussion on the role of AuNPs’ catalytic activity in the radiosensitization effect actively studied for radiotherapy.

A stable and efficient PdCl2(PPh3)2/PEG-400/H2O catalytic system for the hydrophenylation reaction of alkynes has been developed. In the presence of 3 mol% PdCl2(PPh3)2 and 2 equiv. of HOAc, the hydrophenylation of both terminal and internal alkynes with sodium tetraphenylborate proceeded smoothly in a mixture of PEG-400 and water at room temperature or 50 °C to afford a variety of phenyl-substituted alkenes in moderate to high yields. The isolation of the products was easily performed by extraction with petroleum ether, and the PdCl2(PPh3)2/PEG-400/H2O system could be readily recycled and reused six times without apparent loss of catalytic activity.

A highly efficient method for the synthesis of α1-oxindole-α-hydroxyphosphonates via nano-rod ZnO catalyzed hydrophosphonation of isatin derivatives was developed. The reaction products are in excellent yields using the catalytic system nano-rod ZnO (25 mol%) under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. The catalyst can be reused several times without any significant loss of its activity.
