Abstract
Enzymes often employ catalytic groups with a medium or low intrinsic activity for highly challenging catalytic tasks. In this work, we report nanoparticle catalysts with accurately positioned carboxylic acids through either a covalent or noncovalent imprinting technique. The rationally designed active site allows the catalysis to be highly selective or quite unselective with respect to the substrate. With the proper catalyst, the hydrolysis proceeds smoothly in neutral water or even a slightly basic solution at room temperature.
