Highly stable bidentate thiol-protected Ag <sub>5</sub> Cu <sub>4</sub> nanoclusters: a stable catalyst for enhanced Knoevenagel condensation
The bidentate thiol-protected Ag<sub>5</sub>Cu<sub>4</sub> 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%, demonstrating enhanced catalytic synergy and robust heterogeneous catalysis.
