Molecular Clusters in Mesoporous Materials as Precursors to Nanoparticles of a New Lacunar Ternary Compound Pd x Mo y P

Abstract  Bimetallic clusters of composition Pd2Mo2(η5-C5H5)2(μ3-CO)2(μ2-CO)4(PR3)2 (R = ethyl or phenyl) were incorporated by impregnation from solution into two different silica matrices, amorphous xerogels and
