Microfluidic Synthesis of Palladium Nanocrystals Assisted by Supercritical CO(2) : Tailored Surface Properties for Applications in Boron Chemistry.

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(Ar)-B and C(Ar) C(Ar) bond-forming reactions, thus illustrating the relationship between surface properties and modulated catalytic activity
