Controlled syntheses of Ag nanoparticles inside MOFs by using amine–borans as vapour phase reductants†
Abstract
Controlled synthesis of Ag nanoparticles inside porous materials is difficult because of their high mobilities during the reactions. Herein, by using a series of amine–boranes as vapour phase reductants, we succeeded in synthesizing Ag nanoparticles in a controlled manner inside MOFs.
