Self-assembled multilayer iron(0) nanoparticles (NPs, 6-10 nm), namely, sulfur-modified Au-supported Fe(0) [SAFe(0)], were developed for ligand-free one-pot carbon-carbon/carbon-nitrogen bond-forming reactions. SAFe(0) was successfully prepared using a well-established metal-nanoparticle catalyst preparative protocol by simultaneous in situ metal NP and nanospace organization (PSSO) with 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-dihydropyrazine (Si-DHP) as a strong reducing agent. SAFe(0) was easy to handle in air and could be recycled with a low iron-leaching rate in reaction cycles.
