“…A transition from the bulk band structure to individual localized energy levels occurs in clusters of subnanometer to nanometer size, and the detection of quantum size effects has been of great interest to scientists and technologists in the search for novel materials with exciting new properties (1-9a,b,c). Possible future applications of nanoparticles include the areas of ultrafast data communication and optical data storage (10-12), solar energy conversion (13), and the use of metallic nanoparticles as catalysts (14)(15)(16) because of their high surface-to-volume ratios and different shapes (9c).…”

“…A possibility that metallic platinum particles are formed during the process can be ruled out by our experiments with metallic nanoparticles (prepared by reduction of a THF solution of [19], which proved completely inactive, and by the fact that XPS studies of the used catalyst did not reveal the presence of any Pt(0).…”

“…The 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra of octanethiol protected ruthenium particles point to the absence of exchange between free and coordinated ligands at the NMR time scale. In this case it is possible to observe by 13 C NMR the carbon atoms of the alkyl chain of the coordinated ligand as broad peaks except for the carbons located in the α and β positions relative to sulphur which are too broad to be observed.…”

“…It is then essential to control these surface species. In this respect, the well-known reduction methods [12][13][14][15] display limitations due to their lack of variability. The use of reverse micelles as "nanoreactors" inside which salt reduction and particle growth occurs has allowed to obtain monodisperse nano-objects which may display a define shape (spheres, rods, wires) and which may self-assemble on various substrates [16,17].…”
