Thisbookseriespublishes monographs andeditedbooksonallareas ofmolecular
catalysis, including heterogeneous catalysis, nanocatalysis, biocatalysis, and
homogeneous catalysis. The series also explores the interfaces between these
areas. The individual volumes may discuss new developments in catalytic
conversions, new catalysts, addressing existing reactions and new reactions
regarded as desirable from a societal viewpoint. The focus on molecular insight
requires an appropriate attention for synthesis of catalytic materials, their
characterization by all spectroscopic and other means available, and theoretical
studies of materials and reaction mechanisms, provided the topic is strongly
interwoven with catalysis. Thus the series covers topics of interest toa wide range
of academic and industrial chemists, and biochemists.

Preface
In the last two decades we have witnessed a spectacular growth of nanoparticle
catalysis and clearly in the new series of Molecular Catalysis this topic is of great
interest. A look at the numbers shows that “spectacular growth” is even an
understatement. Thirty years ago, the number of hits for “nanoparticle” and
“catalysis” found in Scifinder or other search machines is zero, which does not
mean that it did not exist at all, but it was not documented as such. Twenty years
ago, barely one publication a week appeared on this topic, but today the number
amounts to almost 200 publications per week, and an accumulated total of almost
90,000indicateswhatsizeofresearchareawearedealingwith.Noway,asinmany
other fields today, we can put together comprehensive volumes on nanoparticle
catalysis. The area is also extremely diverse, in materials, their preparation, their
use,andthecatalyticreactionsexplored.Thenumberofcatalyticreactionsexplored
is much smaller than the number of materials developed, but the diversity is so
enormous that general lessons are hard to be deduced from the results. Thus, from
the one million of catalysis results on nanoparticle catalysis it will be difficult to
develop general theories, not in the least because we do not report our results in a
format suited for later machine learning. The area outnumbers homogeneous
catalysis, while comparison with heterogeneous catalysis is less clear due to
overlap.Comparedtobothhomogeneousandheterogeneouscatalysisnewcatalytic
activityisfoundfornanosizedparticles;noneedtoexplainthishere.Furthermore,
the number of metal atoms as potential participants as active centers is larger in
nanoparticles than in particles of micrometer size. It is often argued that an
advantage of MNPs over molecular homogeneous catalysts is their ease of sepa-
ration, but we doubt that, and MNPs for industrial use need to be immobilized in
most reactions. In the last decade the two classic areas of homogeneous and
heterogeneoushavefoundthatMNPcatalysisbringsthetwoclosertooneanother;
in particular ligand modification and support influences have led to an increase of
understanding in catalysis in a broad sense.

researcher. The topics have been selected in such a way that readers of related
disciplines will find a quick introduction to catalysis with nanoparticles and those
readers familiar with the field will find an update of recent advances and a few
future developments. In the first chapters the emphasis is on new materials with
exceptional properties in catalysis such as very small clusters, single atom layers,
and precise clusters. For all new catalytic systems the authors dwell upon the
synthesis of the new particles, but also present the new avenues for catalysis.

catalyst activity and selectivity. Catalysis with nanoparticles is exponentially
expanding and receives a lot of attention as many exciting findings are being
reported. Control over their synthesis, characterization, stabilization and use offers
potentially a rich area with possibilities that far exceed those of classic heteroge-
neous and homogeneous catalysis.

catalysis.
