Abstract

Ligand-coated nanoparticles (NPs) are hybrid materials with novel properties.[1, 2] Monolayer-protected gold NPs are emerging as attractive candidates for catalysis,[3, 4] in particular as artificial enzymes (nanozymes).[5, 6] There are many reasons for their success ranging from the ease of forming dense monolayers of complex catalytic molecules on their ligand shells to their facile separation from the reaction products by precipitation. Herein, ...
