Synthesis of gold nanoparticles using electron-donating dithiafulvene units (2015)
Journal Article
Lanterna, A. E., Coronado, E. A., & Granados, A. M. (2020). Synthesis of gold nanoparticles using electron-donating dithiafulvene units. Tetrahedron Letters, 56(34), 4871-4876. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tetlet.2015.06.064

Dithiafulvene (DTF) derivative compounds were used as reducing agents to synthesize capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). DTF derivatives had shown good capability to reduce Au(III) to Au(0) without further addition of common reducing agents, and at the...

Heterogeneous photocatalytic C–C coupling: mechanism of plasmon-mediated reductive dimerization of benzyl bromides by supported gold nanoparticles (2015)
Journal Article
Lanterna, A. E., Elhage, A., & Scaiano, J. C. (2015). Heterogeneous photocatalytic C–C coupling: mechanism of plasmon-mediated reductive dimerization of benzyl bromides by supported gold nanoparticles. Catalysis Science and Technology, 5(9), 4336-4340. https://doi.org/10.1039/c5cy00655d

The use of gold nanoparticles supported on TiO2 (Au@TiO2) as photocatalysts was extended to include photoinduced reductive C–C coupling. Surface plasmon excitation of supported AuNPs in the presence of an amine leads to the C–C coupling of a variety...
