Controllable synthesis of ultrasmall atomically ordered intermetallic nanoparticles is a challenging task, owing to the high temperature commonly required for the formation of intermetallic phases. Here, a metal-organic framework (MOF)-confined co-reduction strategy is developed for the preparation of sub-2 nm intermetallic PdZn nanoparticles, by employing the well-defined porous structures of calcinated ZIF-8 (ZIF-8C) and an in situ co-reduction therein. HAADF-STEM, HRTEM, and EDS characterizations reveal the homogeneous dispersion of these sub-2 nm intermetallic PdZn nanoparticles within the ZIF-8C frameworks. XRD, XPS, and EXAFS measurements further confirm the atomically ordered intermetallic phase nature of these sub-2 nm PdZn nanoparticles. Selective hydrogenation of acetylene evaluation results show the excellent catalytic properties of the sub-2 nm intermetallic PdZn, which result from the energetically more favorable path for acetylene hydrogenation and ethylene desorption over the ultrasmall particles than over larger-sized intermetallic PdZn as revealed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Moreover, this protocol is also extendable for the preparation of sub-2 nm intermetallic PtZn nanoparticles and is expected to provide a novel methodology in synthesizing ultrasmall atomically ordered intermetallic nanomaterials by rationally functionalizing MOFs.

ParaHydrogen induced polarization (PHIP) is an efficient and cost-effective hyperpolarization method, but its application to biological investigations has been hampered, so far, due to chemical challenges. PHIP is obtained by means of the addition of hydrogen, enriched in the para-spin isomer, to an unsaturated substrate. Both hydrogen atoms must be transferred to the same substrate, in a pairwise manner, by a suitable hydrogenation catalyst; therefore, a de-hydrogenated precursor of the target molecule is necessary. This has strongly limited the number of parahydrogen polarized substrates. The non-hydrogenative approach brilliantly circumvents this central issue, but has not been translated to in-vivo yet. Recent advancements in hydrogenative PHIP (h-PHIP) considerably widened the possibility to hyperpolarize metabolites and, in this review, we will focus on substrates that have been obtained by means of this method and used in vivo. Attention will also be paid to the requirements that must be met and on the issues that have still to be tackled to obtain further improvements and to push PHIP substrates in biological applications.

“…Investigations have shown that tin can improve catalyst properties, including stability, activity, and selectivity in some reactions, such as steam reforming reactions . A bimetallic platinum/tin (Pt/Sn) catalyst on various supports, such as alumina, Vulcan XC72 carbon, silica, and titania have been utilized in many industrial processes, including steam reforming, alcohol electro‐oxidation, and alkane dehydrogenation . For instance, the glycerol steam reforming reaction has been recently investigated by Escribano et al., employing PtSn/C.…”

Embedding Pt‐SnO Nanoparticles into MIL‐101(Cr) Pores: Hydrogen Production with Low Carbon Monoxide Content from a New Methanol Steam Reforming Catalyst

The catalyst Pt‐SnO@MIL‐101(Cr) was prepared using the cis‐PtCl(SMe2)2(SnCl3) complex as a single precursor and characterized by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, (ICP‐OES), X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD), BET surface area analysis (SBET), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), and temperature program reduction (TPR). A new complex, cis‐PtCl(SMe2)2(SnCl3), was synthesized from the reaction of PtCl2(SMe2)2 with SnCl2 and characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), ICP‐OES, and 1H NMR spectroscopy and used as the source of metals for preparation of the catalysts. The fabricated catalyst, Pt‐SnO@MIL‐101(Cr), with 10.2%, 19.7%, and 28.9% platinum loadings were used in a steam reforming of methanol (MSR) reaction using a microstructure monolith reactor in the temperature range of 150–300 °C. A high methanol conversion with a good selectivity of H2 and low CO selectivity was achieved in light of the stability of the catalyst with a small amount of coke formation in the monolith system.
