AbstractPlatinum-group-metal (Ru, Os, Rh, Ir, Pd and Pt) nanoparticles are synthesized in an aqueous buffer solution of 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piper- azineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) (200 mM, pH 7.4) under hydrothermal conditions (180 °C). Monodispersed (monodispersity: 11-15%) metal nanoparticles were obtained with an average particle size of less than 5 nm (Ru: 1.8±0.2, Os: 1.6±0.2, Rh: 4.5 ±0.5, Ir: 2.0±0.3, Pd: 3.8±0.4, Pt: 1.9±0.2 nm). The size, monodispersity, and stability of the as-obtained metal nanoparticles were affected by the HEPES concentration, pH of the HEPES buffer solution, and reaction temperature. HEPES with two tertiary amines (pi- perazine groups) and terminal hydroxyl groups can act as a reductant and stabilizer. The HEPES molecules can bind to the surface of metal nanoparticles to prevent metal nanoparticles from aggregation. These platinum- group-metal nanoparticles could be deposited onto the surface of graphite, which catalyzed the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes. © 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
