TLDR
In this paper, a bimetallic cluster with a mole ratio of Pd : Pt = 4 : 1 was found to be the most active catalyst, twice as active as a typical colloidal palladium catalyst for diene hydrogenation.Abstract:
Refluxing mixed solutions of palladium(II) chloride and hexachloroplatinic(IV) acid in ethanol–water (1 : 1, v/v) in the presence of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) results in well dispersed and stable colloidal dispersions of polymer-protected palladium/platinum bimetallic clusters. The UV–VIS absorption spectra and transmission electron micrographs indicate that these bimetallic cluster particles are homogeneous in size, each particle containing both palladium and platinum atoms. Dispersions of these bimetallic clusters were used as catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of cycloocta-1,3-diene to cyclooctene at 30 °C under hydrogen gas at atmospheric pressure. The catalytic activity for the partial hydrogenation was found to depend on the metal composition of the particles. A bimetallic cluster with a mole ratio of Pd : Pt = 4 : 1 was the most active catalyst, twice as active as a typical colloidal palladium catalyst, for the diene hydrogenation. The dependence of the activity and the selectivity on the surface structure of the cluster particle strongly indicates that the cluster particle with the highest catalytic activity had a ‘Pd-surrounded Pt core’ structure.read more

Synthesis, characterization, and applications of dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles.
TL;DR: These materials are synthesized by a template approach in which metal ions are extracted into the interior of dendrimers and then subsequently chemically reduced to yield nearly size-monodisperse particles having dimensions of less than 3 nm.

A study of the nucleation and growth processes in the synthesis of colloidal gold
TL;DR: In this paper, a preliminary survey with the electron microscope of various preparations of colloidal gold, a study was made of the process of nucleation and growth in gold colloids, and it was shown that nucleating agents may be identified with reducing agents which form a mixed polymer with chlorauric ion before the reduction to the nucleus takes place.

The Bakerian Lecture: Experimental Relations of Gold (and Other Metals) to Light
TL;DR: The undulatory theory of light, with the phenomena for which it strives to account, seems to me, who am only an experimentalist, to stand midway between what we may conceive to be the coarser mechanical actions of matter, with their explanatory philosophy, and that other branch which includes, or should include, the physical idea of forces acting at a distance as mentioned in this paper.

XPS studies of solvated metal atom dispersed (SMAD) catalysts. Evidence for layered cobalt-manganese particles on alumina and silica
TL;DR: In this article, toluene-solvated cobalt atoms nucleate at surface OH groups, and the resultant cobalt oxide surface species serve as sites for nucleation of more cobalt atom, leading to very small, reactive metallic clusters.

TL;DR: The level spacing of quantized electronic states becomes fairly large in very fine particles as mentioned in this paper, and the thermal properties may show considerable deviations from the normal bulk values for such fine particles.
