Competitive hydrosilylation in carbon nanoreactors: probing the effect of nanoscale confinement on selectivity (2013)
Journal Article
A. Solomonsz, W., A. Rance, G., J. Harris, B., & N. Khlobystov, A. (2013). Competitive hydrosilylation in carbon nanoreactors: probing the effect of nanoscale confinement on selectivity. Nanoscale, 5(24), 12200-12205. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3nr03966h

Platinum nanoparticles (PtNP) either imbedded within (PtNP@GNF) or adsorbed on the surface (PtNP/GNF) of hollow graphitised carbon nanofibres catalyse hydrosilylation reactions inside or outside the nanoreactor respectively. Comparison of the product... Read More about Competitive hydrosilylation in carbon nanoreactors: probing the effect of nanoscale confinement on selectivity.

Palladium nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes as catalysts of cross-coupling reactions (2013)
Journal Article
Cornelio, B., Rance, G. A., Laronze-Cochard, M., Fontana, A., Sapi, J., & Khlobystov, A. N. (in press). Palladium nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes as catalysts of cross-coupling reactions. Journal of Materials Chemistry, 1, https://doi.org/10.1039/C3TA11530E

The macroscopic properties of composite nanotube-nanoparticle superstructures are determined by a complex interplay of structural parameters at the nanoscale. The catalytic performance of different carbon nanotube-palladium nanoparticle catalysts, wh... Read More about Palladium nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes as catalysts of cross-coupling reactions.

Regioselective control of aromatic halogenation reactions in carbon nanotube nanoreactors (2013)
Journal Article
Miners, S. A., A. Rance, G., & N. Khlobystov, A. (2013). Regioselective control of aromatic halogenation reactions in carbon nanotube nanoreactors. Chemical Communications, 5586-5588. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3cc42414f

The use of single-walled carbon nanotubes as effective nanoreactors for preparative chemical reactions has been demonstrated for the first time. Extreme spatial confinement of reactant molecules inside nanotubes has been shown to drastically affect b...
