Transferring the synthetic, as well as mechanistic, insights from the modern revolution in nanoparticle synthesis in solution to the synthesis of supported-nanoparticle catalysts is a current and important goal in catalysis.  This talk will focus on the kinetics and mechanism of formation of a recently developed, �prototype� Ir(1,5-COD)Cl/?-Al2O3 to Ir(0)~900/?-Al2O3 supported-nanoparticle formation system made in contact with solution.  Such studies hold promise of contributing to the next generation syntheses of size, shape and compositionally controlled supported-nanoparticle catalysts.
