Description: 
Starting from the gel-type, cross-linked copolymer co-poly-{(N,N-dimethethylacrylamide/4-vinylpyridine/N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide} (DV44) we prepared nanoclusters of several noble metals (Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt, Ag, Au) inside its polymer framework through the so-called “template-controlled synthesis” approach. This procedure involves the immobilization of the relevant metal centers inside the polymer framework, followed by their reduction to M0 nanoclusters (in our case, uptake from solutions of suitable precursors and reduction with aqueous solutions of NaBH4, respectively). In this way, a set of monometallic polymer supported nanoclusters (M/DV44, M = Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt, Ag, Au) were obtained. The experimental conditions were set so as to generally obtain a homogeneous radial distribution of the metal throughout the particles of the materials. The latter were characterized by means of transmission electron …
