Popis: In the γ-radiolytic reduction of Pd(NH 3 ) 4 Cl 2 in the presence of poly(ethyleneimine), an intermediate cluster is stabilized by the polymer. Pulse radiolysis experiments show that it is slowly formed in the 0.01-1-s range after the primary reduction of Pd(II) to Pd(I) by hydrated electrons and organic radicals has occurred in the 0.1-100-μs range. A photochemical method for the preparation of the cluster is also described. The cluster absorbs at 308 and 400 nm and decays within a few days to yield colloidal palladium metal
