Abstract
Recently, metal nanoparticles have found applications in various fields, which have necessitated exploration of new avenues to obtain such materials. In this publication, a hydrosilane‐based reduction and characterization of resulting palladium nanoparticles is achieved using palladium acetate as nanoparticle precursor and octadecylsilane as a reducing agent. The influence of phosphine and amine ligands in the stabilization of nanoparticles is also investigated. In addition, a brief mechanistic proposal of the reduction process is also discussed.
