Abstract
In the presence of a readily accessible nanosized Cu/Fe bimetallic system, Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloadditions can easily be achieved at ambient temperature with high efficiency. The catalyst produces significantly lower copper contaminants compared to homogeneous copper complexes. Iron not only behaves as support, but also acts as a redox scavenger that reduces the copper contamination of the organic product.
