powder, which is required for deprotonating BnOH, acted as heterogeneous catalysts in 1,2-dichloroethane at 60 °C. Of the three AuNP catalysts, the TDEP-protected AuNPs exhibited the greatest activity per exposed Au atoms and the longest lifetime. Conversely, the DPPE- and TPP-protected AuNPs exhibited poorer performance in terms of activity and durability, respectively. This work provides a rational ligand design strategy that balances the activity and durability of metal NPs.
