title: Preparation and catalytic evaluation of ruthenium-nickel dendrimer encapsulated nanoparticles via intradendrimer redox displacement of nickel nanoparticles.
abstract: Ru and Ru(x)Ni(30) dendrimer encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) were synthesized using a redox-displacement method. DEN catalytic activity for the reduction of p-nitrophenol was evaluated and found to be dependent on the ratio of metals present.
