All bound up : Au‐Pd nanoparticles having a mean particle size of 3–4 nm and supported on titania (see figure; scale bar 2 nm) exhibit high activity in the selective oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons using tert ‐butyl hydroperoxide as an oxidant. The supported nanoparticles stabilize surface‐bound radicals.
