Highly stable bidentate thiol-protected Ag5Cu4 nanoclusters: A Stable Catalyst for Enhanced Knoevenagel Condensation

Chem. Commun., 2025, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D5CC00825E, Communication Yan Nong, Juefei Dai, Chao Yang, Hai-Feng Su, Chengcheng Feng, Chuanhua Shi, Zhixun Zhang, Xiangyong Yu, Xueji Zhang, Huayan Yang The bidentate thiol-protected Ag₅Cu₄ nanocluster exhibits exceptional stability, achieving 91% yield in the Knoevenagel condensation of benzaldehyde and malononitrile (24 h). Upon carbon black immobilization, the yield rises to 97%,...
