Abstract

Interest in catalysis by metal nanoparticles is increasing dramatically due to the advantages offered by these “semiheterogeneous catalysts”.[1] These advantages combine the characteristics of heterogeneous catalysis (recovery and recyclability) with those of homogeneous catalysis (relatively low catalyst loadings and good selectivity). In addition, because of their large surface area,[1] metal nanoparticles usually show enhanced ...
