In our presentation, we seek to elucidate the underlying electronic principles of heterogenized, stable copper catalysts and copper-based bimetallic colloids with respect to Ullmann C-O coupling reactions. In conjunction with the results of our mechanistic study, DFT calculations are employed to support experimental observations.
