Popis: Stable ruthenium nanoparticles protected by 1-octynyl fragments were synthesized by a wet chemical method. Transmission electron microscopic measurements showed that the resulting particles exhibited an average core diameter of 2.55 ± 0.15 nm with well-defined Ru crystalline lattice fringes. Because of the formation of Ru—C≡ bonds, the C≡C vibrational stretch was found in FTIR measurements to red-shift to 1936 cm−1 from 2119 cm−1 that was observed for monomeric 1-octyne. Interestingly, the nanoparticles underwent ligand exchange reactions with alkynyl lithium (e.g., 5-phenyl-1-pentynyl lithium) for further surface functionalization, as manifested in FTIR as well as 1H and 13C NMR measurements. Optically, whereas UV−vis absorption measurements exhibited only a featureless profile, the Ru nanoparticles displayed apparent photoluminescence with an emission peak at 428 nm, which was accounted for by intraparticle charge delocalization as a consequence of the strong Ru—C≡ bonds and the conducting Ru metal core...
