Indeed, npAu is an active catalyst for both liquid and gas phase oxidation of methanol and ethanol with O 2 under mild conditions (starting at [...] acetate) in similar amounts. To further probe the surface chemistry, cross coupling reactions between both alcohols, as well as the acetaldehyde are performed. As observed also in gas phase experiments, the
