Abstract

Palladium's pore cousin: a facile approach is described for the size-controlled preparation of porous single-crystalline Pd nanoparticles. These porous Pd nanoparticles exhibit size-independent catalytic activities for the Suzuki coupling and are more active than commercial Pd/C catalysts.
