Nanocatalysis has experienced a vertiginous growth in the last two decades.[1] The development of selective and efficient transition metal nanoparticles (MNPs) represents a key area in catalyst development.[2] These MNPs often exhibit superior catalytic activity to their bulk metal counterparts, derived from their hight specific surface area and abundance of active catalytic sites.[3] In particular, copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) have become of great interest due to the earthabundance, low price ...
Nanocatalysis has experienced a vertiginous growth in the last two decades.[1] The development of selective and efficient transition metal nanoparticles (MNPs) represents a key area in catalyst development.[2] These MNPs often exhibit superior catalytic activity to their bulk metal counterparts, derived from their hight specific surface area and abundance of active catalytic sites.[3] In particular, copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) have become of great interest due to the earthabundance, low price and toxicity, and the catalytic activity of its different oxidation states.[4] In the last years we have actively been developing new and mild methodologies based on the use of supported CuNPs for their application in the construction of C-P bonds.[5] Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) are of extensive interest in synthetic organic chemistry, due to the remarkable biological activities of many of these compounds. More precisely, phosphonic acids and esters are widely known as important structural analogues to the corresponding carboxylic acids and esters.[6] As phosphonates are broadly applied in the synthesis of molecules with therapeutic value,[7] all the newly synthesized OPs have been tested in cholinesterase inhibition with promising results.[5c,e]
