Abstract
A new method for the preparation of metal nanoparticles in organic media is proposed. This is based on the formation of metal-carbon bonds after reduction of the corresponding diazonium derivative of the capping ligand. The particles are very stable due to the strong metal-ligand covalent bond, and the proposed method appears to be an alternative for the preparation of monolayer-protected metal nanoparticles when the formation of metal-sulfur or metal-nitrogen bonds needs to be avoided.Keywords
