When organophosphorus ruthenium complexes covalently bind to ruthenium nanoparticles to form nanoscale hybrid materials†
Abstract
A hybrid material made of mononuclear organophosphorus polypyridyl ruthenium complexes covalently bonded to ruthenium nanoparticles has been synthesized via a one-pot organometallic procedure and finely characterized. These results open new avenues to access unique hybrid transition metal nanomaterials.
