Abstract

Three's a charm: Platinum nanoparticles of 2 nm diameter and containing approximately 200 atoms covered with n-octylsilyl groups (see picture, right; Pt blue, Si red, C gray, H turquoise) form when [Pt(dba)2] (dba=dibenzylideneacetone) decomposes in the presence of n-octylsilane. The particles adopt a cuboctahedral structure with an edge length of three atoms. Copyright © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
