16. As noted by Bartholomew(12a) (see also Boudart's original work(39)), "The turnover frequency (TOF) is a specific reaction rate based on the number of active sites." The authors further specify that the "specific reaction rate" = 1/(vQ) × d[ n ]/d t where v is the stoichiometric coefficient in the reaction; n is the number of moles of the species; t is time; and Q is the volume, weight, or surface area of the catalyst. Units are molecules/site-second or 1/s.

29. When the Finke-Watzky (F-W) two step (A → B, A + B → 2B) slow, continuous nucleation and autocatalytic surface-growth mechanism of nanoparticle formation(23) is followed, then a size vs time relationship can be derived for transition metal nanoparticles, as done in the above cited publication.(24) However, lower concentrations often yield fewer nuclei, and that tends to make larger, not smaller, particles.

39. The DFT calculations performed by Pawluk et. al(32a) on naked, unligated Ir particles are also consistent with the constant particle sizes observed. Specifically, Pawluk and co-workers find that (naked; unligated) Ir particles prefer a simple cubic structure until a 48 atom particle (5.91 eV per Ir atom binding energy) is reached, at which point the transition to face-centered cubic occurs. This 48 atom (about 1.1 nm diameter) limit restricts coalescence of at least naked, smaller nanoparticles because energetically unfavorable surface rearrangements would be required, again with the caveat here that these calculations refer strictly to only naked, unligated Ir nanoparticles.
