The precise editing of surface sites on a molecular-like gold catalyst for modulating regioselectivity

Abstract
-Au motifs enable extraordinary regioselectivity for the click reaction of alkyne and azide. The editing strategy for the surface motifs allows us to exploit previously inaccessible individual active sites and elucidate which site can explicitly govern the reaction outcome.
