A new specifically designed calix[8]arene for the synthesis of functionalized, nanometric and subnanometric Pd, Pt and Ru nanoparticles

A new thioester functionalized calix[8]arene derivative is used for the synthesis of metallic Pd, Pt and Ru nanoparticles, exhibiting several interesting features such as stability and remarkable surface functionalization. Crystalline particles of very small dimensions and good dispersion have been obtained.

A new calixarene derivative is used for the synthesis of nanometric and subnanometric Pd, Pt and Ru nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are easily purified and exhibit interesting surface functionalities.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
