Flower power : A universal approach is presented for high‐yield synthesis of Au, Pt, and Pd nanoflowers using the surfactant sodium N ‐(4‐ n ‐dodecyloxybenzoyl)‐ L ‐isoleucinate (SDBIL). The pH‐dependent self‐assembly using SDBIL is critical for nanoflower growth. The Pt and Pd nanoflowers show superior catalytic activity for Suzuki–Miyaura and Heck coupling reactions over spherical counterparts.
