Abstract
Core–shell small RuPt nanoparticles stabilized by a polymer (polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP) have been prepared by co-decomposition of [Ru(COD)(COT)] [(1,5-cyclooctadiene)(1,3,5-cyclooctatriene)ruthenium] and [Pt(CH3)2(COD)] [dimethyl(1,5-cyclooctadiene)platinum(II)] organometallic complexes at room temperature. The control of the metal segregation is made possible by the difference in the decomposition temperature of the metal precursors, giving rise to a heterogeneous nucleation process. The structural composition of these nanoparticles has been determined by a combination of techniques (TEM, HREM, WAXS, EXAFS, STEM-HAADF, IR, NMR). In particular, after adsorption of 13CO as a probe molecule, solid-state NMR investigation provided useful information on the chemical segregation in these nanoparticles.
