Cu42Ge24Na4—A Giant Trimetallic Sesquioxane Cage: Synthesis, Structure, and Catalytic Activity

Unprecedented germanium-based sesquioxane exhibits an extremely high nuclearity (Cu42Ge24Na4) and unusual encapsulation features. The compound demonstrated a high catalytic activity in the oxidative amidation of alcohols, with cost-effective catalyst loading down to 400 ppm of copper, and in the oxi...
