Unexpected, spontaneous and selective formation of colloidal Pt3Sn nanoparticles using organometallic Pt and Sn complexes.
The facile and selective synthesis of small crystalline Pt(3)Sn alloy nanoparticles was performed at room temperature under H(2), using a colloidal approach without the use of extra-stabilizing ligands. The Pt(3)Sn alloy was found to be obtained spontaneously as the unique phase regardless of the number of tin equivalents introduced.
