Stable and solubilized active Au atom clusters for selective epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene with molecular oxygen

Gold catalysts have previously been reported for the epoxidation of alkenes with molecular oxygen. Here the authors show that, rather than the gold nanoparticles, the active species for this reaction are actually small, soluble gold species stabilized by the oxidised organic products.
