Particularly effective : The self‐assembly of triazacyclonane‐functionalized thiols on the surface of nanosize gold particles provides a facile entry to functional gold nanoparticles that, upon complexation with Zn II , turn into powerful catalysts for the cleavage of phosphate esters (see scheme). Because of their RNase‐like behavior they are dubbed nanozymes.
