title: Room-temperature selective oxidation of 2-naphthol to BINOL using a Au/SrTiO3-H2O2 catalytic system.
abstract: Gold nanoparticle-loaded SrTiO3 (Au/SrTiO3) effectively catalyzes the selective C-C bond formation between 2-naphthol molecules to yield BINOL in the presence of H2O2, and the catalytic activity increases with decreasing Au particle size (d) in the range 2.6 ≤ d ≤ 8.9 nm.
