Oxidation of benzylic compounds by gold nanowires at 1 atm O2

Author affiliations

Abstract

Ultra-thin gold nanowires (GNWs), with uniform surface crystallinity, appear much more active than gold nanoclusters in benzylic compound oxidation. Ethylbenzene oxidation was used as a model reaction and a radical chain reaction mechanism was revealed by the DFT method.
