Abstract:
Hydroxyapatite-supported gold nanoparticles (AuHAP) can act as highly efficient and reusable catalysts for the oxidation of diverse silanes into silanols in water; this is the first catalytic methodology for the selective synthesis of aliphatic silanols using water under organic-solvent-free conditions.
