Abstract
This project aims at the use of gold and silver nanoparticles (AuNP and AgNP, respectively) and of bimetallic and hollow nanospheres for oxidation reactions of amines to imines. Several nanostructures will be synthesized by simple, controlled synthetic routes capable of generating monodisperse and high yield nanoparticles. Au and AgNPs will be synthesized by the reduction of precursors of…
