Abstract
The plasmonic heat generated from the photoexcited gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is used to fuel a thermally driven organic transformation of pyrone to pyridinone. The yield of the product was comparable to that obtained from normal heating at 90 °C, which proves the potential of AuNP as an energy-efficient ‘plasmonic heater’ for future organic transformations. AuNPs in the size regime of 10-24 nm were found to be most effective, which confirms the suitability of organic transformation as a tool to qualitatively compare the effect of various NP parameters on the chemical effectiveness of the plasmonic heat.
