The Japanese wisteria ( Wisteria floribunda ) is a woody liana with clusters of flowers. In their paper on pp. 84 ff., K. Shimizu et al. show that supported silver nanoparticles, represented by the Japanese wisteria, act as a catalyst for the alkylation of arenes with alcohols and styrenes. Cooperation of surface Ag and adjacent O atoms leads to cleavage of the α‐CH bond of alcohols.
