Description
Summary:Copper has a high abundance in the earth's crust, which is 60 g / ton. Copper has active catalytic properties at the nanoparticle level. In 2016, Huseyinova et al. succeeded in synthesizing a Cu5 cluster with a stable neutral charge. Further studies of the cluster by the Avelino Corma group in 2017 show that cluster is stable in the absence of water, so it has the potential to become a catalyst in the gas phase. This research studied the potential of these clusters computationally using the DFT method ?B97X-D as a catalyst in the cycloaddition of alkyne and azides, which generally take place in the solution phase and are catalyzed by Cu (I) (CuAAC). The results showed that Cu5 has the potential to catalyze gas phase CuAAC as it maintains selectivity for the trans product pathway.
