Abstract

Metal nanoparticles (NPs), which reside in the size range between bulk and monomeric metal species, are applied in a wide range of technologies from electronic, optic and magnetic devices, to advanced catalytic materials. 1 Currently, metal NP catalysts are receiving much attention for use in organic synthesis under liquid-phase conditions. For example, gold NPs have been shown to facilitate catalysis in many organic reactions. 2 On the other hand, there have ...
