Sub-nanometric Cu clusters formed by endogenous reduction of salts and nanoparticles are active selective catalysts for C–N, C–C, C–O, C–S, C–P bond-forming reactions. have also been generated within a polymeric film stored with full stability months. In this way, they ready to be used on demand maintain high activity (TONs up 104) selectivity the above A potential mechanism formation sub-nanometric their electronic nature is presented.
