Cross Coupling on Gold Nanoparticles. Effect of Reinforced Affinity of Organic Group with Bipedal Thiol
Bipedal thiol, whose end is modified with iodoarene, is synthesized and introduced onto the surface of gold nanoparticles. The obtained nanoparticles allow the Suzuki-Miyaura and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions to form the carbon-carbon bond on the surface of the nanoparticle without serious aggregation under harsh conditions.
