Abstract

On the surface: A library of organic–inorganic hybrid palladium nanocrystals was synthesized using continuous supercritical microfluidic technology. The nanocatalysts show moderate to excellent activities towards C_ArB and C_ArC_Ar bond-forming reactions, thus illustrating the relationship between surface properties and modulated catalytic activity.
