Abstract

Thermolysis of the complex salts (NH4)2[OsCl6]x[PtCl6]1-x (х = 0.25-0.9) formed nanocrystalline OsxPt1-x phases. Pseudomorphism has been found: the habit of the single crystals of the starting salts is preserved during thermolysis, and the ~10-20 nm metal particles are agglomerated into octahedral structures sized 5-10 μm.
