Abstract
Carbon nanotube-supported gold nanoparticles of different sizes (diameter of 3 or 20 nm) were evaluated as catalysts in four selected organic transformations. The nanohybrids were shown to efficiently catalyze the investigated reactions, regardless of the size of the supported gold nanoparticles. However, some differences were observed as regards turnover frequency values although size effect turned out to be less significant when only gold surface atoms were considered.
