Using the icosahedra M13 (M = Au, Ag, Cu, Pt, Pd) and heteroatom doped Au18M clusters as model systems, the role of the co-adsorbed CO molecule played in the CO oxidation reaction is explored on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

A copper-catalysed hydroamination reaction of N-allenylsulfonamides with amines has been developed through a rational approach based on mechanistic studies. The reaction is promoted by a simple copper(I) catalyst and proceeds at room temperature with complete regioselectivity and excellent stereoselectivity towards linear (E)-N-(3-aminoprop-1-enyl)sulfonamides. Density Functional Theory (DFT) studies allow interpreting the key role of unsaturated substituents on nitrogen as ancillary coordinating moieties for the copper catalyst.
