HCl in solution accepts electron density from Au NPs and partially reduces at room temperature, as occurs with other simple diatomic molecules, such as O₂ and H₂. The activation can be run catalytically in the presence of alkynes to give exclusively E-vinyl chlorides, after the regio- and stereoselective transfer of HCl. Based also on this method, vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) can be produced in a milder and greener way than current industrial processes.

催化金纳米粒子上氯化氢的部分还原和选择性转移

溶液中的HCl接受Au NPs的电子密度，并在室温下部分还原，这与其他简单的双原子分子（例如O ₂和H _2）一样。在HCl的区域和立体选择性转移之后，可以在炔烃的存在下催化进行活化，从而仅得到E-氯乙烯。同样基于此方法，可以以比当前工业过程更温和，更环保的方式生产氯乙烯单体（VCM）。
