As the size of a material decreases to the nanoscale its properties become size-dependent. This is the world of nanoscience and nanotechnology. At the nanoscale the crystal structure may change and thermodynamic quantities such as the melting point also change. Changes in the catalytic activity and colour of nanoparticles suspended in a liquid indicate changes to the electronic structure. Quantum dots have discrete energy levels that can be modelled with the particle-in-a-box model. Excitons may be created in them using optical illumination, and their decay leads to fluorescence with distinct colours. The classical and quantum origins of magnetism are discussed. The origin of magnetoresistance in a ferromagnet is described and related to the exclusion principle. The origin of the giant magnetoresistance effect and its exploitation in nanotechnology is outlined.

Based on the concept of density of states (DOS) engineering, we theoretically designed a pseudo-Tc material (Mo–Ru alloy) and investigated its electronic structure, phase stability and catalytic activity by using density functional theory.

The changes in the kinetics observed during the isomerization of allylbenzene catalysed by palladium(II) are interpreted in terms of the slow formation of a hydrido complex of palladium(II) which subsequently attains a constant concentration in an equilibrium system. The kinetics during these phases are shown to be consistent with first-order dependence on the concentration of an active catalyst formed in a bimolecular reaction from a mononuclear palladium(II) complex and with a regenerative hydrido-π-alkene-σ-alkyl mechanism of isomerization. The hypothesis that a further stage in the kinetics reflects a change in the rate determining step to one involving alkene displacement from the catalyst is supported by the experimental evidence. The concentration of active catalyst is shown not to fall appreciably until all the allylbenzene has undergone isomerization, but thereafter there is a slow reduction of catalytic activity which is not completely restored by the addition of further allylbenzene. It is suggested that the slow formation of a π-allylic complex is responsible.
