Microfluidic synthesis of palladium nanocrystals assisted by supercritical CO 2: Tailored surface properties for applications in boron chemistry

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 CArB and CArCAr bond-forming reactions, thus illustrating the relationship between surface properties and modulated catalytic activity.
