Classical group theory adapted to the mechanism of Pt3Ni nanoparticle growth: the role of W(CO)6 as the “shape-controlling” agent

Abstract

Classical group theory was applied to prove the Pt3Ni crystallographic transformation from Platonic cubic to Archimedean cuboctahedral structures and the formation of Pt3Ni polypods. The role of W(CO)6 as a shape-controlling agent is discussed with respect to the crystallographic features of the clusters and superstructures generated as control samples.
