Mono- and bimetallic complexes of nickel supported by a terphenyl diphosphine have been synthesized. The reported complexes show diverse metal-arene interactions in the solid state. Reactions of an o,o'-biphenyldiyl dinickel complex with CO and dichloroalkanes lead to fluorene derivatives, indicating the formation of carbon-carbon bonds at a bimetallic moiety.

Strapped heterobimetallic Hg(II)/Tl(I) porphyrin complexes, with both metal ions bridged by the N-core in a dynamic way, undergo spontaneous Tl(I)-to-Tl(III) oxidation leading to a mono-Tl(III) complex and a mixed valence Tl(I)/Tl(III) bimetallic complex. It provides a new opportunity to tune metal ion translocations in bimetallic porphyrin systems.

Morphologies à la carte: a kinetic control strategy has been utilized to fabricate bimetallic nanoparticles. Using cubic Pd nanocrystals as seeds and a syringe pump that enables precise control over precursor injection rate, it is possible to synthesize Pd-Ag bimetallic nanoparticles with tailored shapes and tunable localized surface plasmon resonances.

The stabilization effect of Au towards Pd changed the reactivity of Pd in Au/Pd bimetallic nanoclusters, altering the reaction mechanism from homogeneous to heterogeneous in dechlorination reaction of aryl chlorides. This phenomenon was illustrated by the observed enhancement of the rate of reaction by in situ generated Au-rich bimetallic Au/Pd nanoclusters.

Nanoparticle-based catalysts, or nanocatalysts, have been applied in various industrial sectors, including refineries, petrochemical plants, the pharmaceutical industry, the chemical industry, food processing, and environmental remediation. As a result, there is an increasing risk of human exposure to nanocatalysts. This review evaluates the toxicity of popular nanocatalysts applied in industri...

A new nanocatalyst which comprises gold particles (average size = (2.5 ± 1.3) nm) supported on intrinsically conductive polyaniline (PANI) was prepared via a sol-method. This Au/PANI catalyst was used for the first time in hydrogenation of the , -unsaturated aldehyde citral exhibiting high activity (93% conversion) and selectivity (76%) towards the products of C=O group hydrogenation, geraniol ...

This article gives you proof that bimetallic transition metal clusters with the difference in electronegativity are better catalysts than monoatomic one. To prove this fact, a study of ethylene adsorption on bimetallic clusters vanadium-nickel VnNim (2≤n+m≤6) has been demonstrated. Our result shows that hardness has a quite good linear correlation with the non-Lewis of VnNi (n=1-5) cluster (R2=...
