Haloaurate and halopalladate imidazolium salts: structures, properties, and use as precursors for catalytic metal nanoparticles.

The synthesis and characterisation of a series of new gold- and palladium-containing symmetrical imidazolium salts are described which display significant cation-dependent effects determined by the structure of the alkyl chains of the imidazolium motifs. Whereas direct reduction of the Pd salts can...
