Abstract

The size and nature of the nanoparticles forming in systems based on Ni(acac)2 · nH2O (n = 0, 0.5, 3.0) and AlEt3 have been determined by high-resolution electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis. The nickel cluster size depends on the water content of the precursor. The average particle diameter increases from 1.2 nm (Ni(acac)2 · 0.5H2O precursor) to 2.4 nm (Ni(acac)2 · 3H2O precursor). A homogeneous solution forms in the Ni(acac)2–5AlEt3 system, as was demonstrated by examining the system under an electron microscope whose resolving power allows particles larger than 0.7 nm to be detected.
