Preparation of Alkanethiolate-Protected Palladium Nanoparticles and Their Size Dependence on Synthetic Conditions

Abstract: Palladium nanoparticles protected by alkanethiolates with a core diameter 1.3-3.9 nm were synthesized by the treatment of PdCl2(CH3CN)2 with tetraalkylammonium bromide and LiBEt3H in THF, followed by the addition of alkanethiols. The mean size and its deviation as observed by transmission electron microscopy varied in relation to changes in the reaction conditions involving variables such as the ammonium salt, the molar ratio of the reactants, the reaction time, and the alkanethiol. Smaller particles were obta… Show more

“…We attempted to extract the DSNs and DENs with alkanethiols (Scheme 2). [15,16] With undodecanethiol, only DSN-G 0 could be extracted. This distinction in the behavior of DSN-G 0 and the DENs is in accord with the different types of PdNP stabilization: As the nanoparticles are not encapsulated in the case of DSN-G 0 , extraction is favored even with a bulky thiol.…”

“…These nanoparticles have been synthesized in a nonionic inverse micelle [6], a biphasic system [12], and a single-organic-phase system [13,14]. The resulting nanoclusters are soluble and stable but confined primarily to nonpolar organic media.…”

“…One of the main differences among these routes to Pd nanoparticles is the choice of a reducing agent. The reducing agents commonly used are sodium borohydride [12], superhydride (1.0 M solution of lithium triethylborohydride in tetrahydrofuran) [13,14], lithium aluminum hydride, and lithium borohydride [6]. The stronger reducing agents favor smaller nanocluster formation.…”
