Thioether-stabilized
Ru nanoparticles were generated using ethyl sulfide, butyl sulfide,
and octyl sulfide. RuCl3·H2O (0.1 g, 0.49
mmol; 0.49 mmol; and 0.49 mmol) was dissolved in 20 mL of ethanol
in three Erlenmeyer flasks. The stabilizing ligands ethyl sulfide,
butyl sulfide, and octyl sulfide (0.427 g, 4.7 mmol; 0.713g, 4.8 mmol;
and 1.255 g, 4.8 mmol) were added to the solutions, respectively.
All solution colors were dark orange at the beginning of the reaction.
The flasks were capped with a rubber septum and stored in a vacuum
desiccator. After 5 h, a 1 μL aliquot of each solution was removed
to make a grid for TEM imaging.
