Supramolecular Assembly of Gold Nanoparticles on Carbon Nanotubes and Catalysis of Selected Organic Transformations

Abstract

This account outlines our recent findings on the supramolecular assembly of gold nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes to provide a nanohybrid structure. The resulting gold–carbon nanotube hybrid is evaluated in the catalysis of various organic reactions.
