Publisher's statementThis is the author's version of a work that was accepted for publication in Catalysis Today. Changes resulting from the publishing process, such as peer review, editing, corrections, structural formatting, and other quality control mechanisms may not be reflected in this document. Changes may have been made to this work since it was submitted for publication. A definitive version was subsequently published in Catalysis Today, 139 (3) We have studied the effect of several different variables on the rate of the selective H-D exchange activity for a model pyridine, i.e. 4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP).These variables include temperature, nanoparticle aging, nanoparticle re-reduction with H 2 and nanoparticle immobilisation onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). We have also extended the study to related pyridine containing molecules.
