Microspheres with Au@SiO2 core and mesoporous aluminosilica shell as superior heterogeneous catalysts for the aerobic epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene†
Abstract
A novel microspherical composite with an Au@SiO2 core and mesoporous aluminosilica shell is synthesized and used as the heterogeneous catalyst in the aerobic epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene, exhibiting great catalytic activity and stability.
