Nevertheless, the active sites in heterogeneous catalysts are not as accessible as those in a homogeneous system, and as a result the reactivity of the catalyst is usually reduced [14]. There have been many attempts to make aU active sites on solid supports accessible to a reaction, so as to achieve catalytic reactivity similar to that of the homogeneous counterpart [15]. Nanocatalysts have emerged as a powerful tool to address
