Unexpected, spontaneous and selective formation of colloidal Pt3Snnanoparticles using organometallic Pt and Sn complexes

Abstract

The facile and selective synthesis of small crystalline Pt3Sn alloy nanoparticles was performed at room temperature under H2, using a colloidal approach without the use of extra-stabilizing ligands. The Pt3Sn alloy was found to be obtained spontaneously as the unique phase regardless of the number of tin equivalents introduced.
