Mechanistic insight into the Z-E isomerization catalysis of azobenzenes mediated by bare and core-shell gold nanoparticles

We explored the catalytic effect of 15 nm diameter gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) upon the thermal Z-E isomerization reaction of azobenzene and nine 4 and 4-4′ substituted azobenzenes (ABs). The kinetics follows a first order rate in ranges of [ABs] = 5 to 50 μM and [AuNPs] = 50 pM to 1 nM. A kinetic an...
