Abstract

Multinuclear (^1^H, ^31^P, ^19^F and ^11^B) diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) technique has been applied to palladium nanoparticles systems dispersed in ionic liquids (ILs). Even if the nanoparticles themselves cannot be detected through NMR, observation of the solvent (methanol) and the IL ([BMI][PF~6~] or [BMI][NTf~2~]), their diffusion coefficients and their changes in the presence of nanoparticles allow us to draw significant assumptions about the organisation of palladium nanoparticles in the IL. For comparison, the corresponding molecular precursors ([PdCl~2~(cod)] or [Pd~2~(dba)~3~]) have been also studied. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
