Self-assembly of tetraalkylammonium salt-stabilized giant palladium clusters on surfaces

Abstract

Nanostructured palladium clusters, stabilized by a monomolecular coat of sufactants N(C₈H₁₇)₄Br or N(C₁₈H₃₇)₄Br, self-assemble on carbon surfaces in an ordered manner with the formation of hexagonal close packed structures.
