Chemical reactions at the graphitic step-edge: changes in product distribution of catalytic reactions as a tool to explore the environment within carbon nanoreactors

A series of explorative cross-coupling reactions have been developed to investigate the local nanoscale environment around catalytically active Pd(II)complexes encapsulated within hollow graphitised nanofiber (GNF). Two new fullerene-containing and fullerene-free Pd(II)Salen catalysts have been synt...
