Nanosized colloidal platinum was prepared by reduction of H2PtCl6 in methanol-water mixture by refluxing. The particle size and morphology were characterized by
For thermodynamically and kinetically controlled catalytic reactions, the influence of a membrane is discussed. For reactions operating near to the thermodynami
Two approaches to synthesize silicon-based catalytic structures that aim at capturing the properties and functionalities of natural enzymes are described in thi
