Abstract
We report a simple procedure to assemble gold nanoparticles into hollow tubular morphology with micrometer scale, wherein the citrate molecule is used not only as a reducing and capping agent, but also as an assembling template. The nanostructure and growth mechanism of microtubes are explored via SEM, TEM, FTIR spectra, and UV-vis spectra studies. The incorporation of larger gold nanoparticles by electroless plating results in an increase in the diameter of microtubes from 900 nm to about 1.2 microm. The application of the microtubes before and after electroless plating in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is investigated by using 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) as probe molecules. The results indicate that the microtubes both before and after electroless plating can be used as SERS substrates. The microtubes after electroless plating exhibit excellent enhancement ability.

Abstract
Colloids embedded in a silica sol-gel matrix were prepared by using fully alloyed Pd-Au colloids, and pure Pd and Au colloids stabilized with tetraalkylammonium bromide following a modified sol-gel procedure with tetrahydrofuran (THF) as the solvent. Tetraethoxysilicate (TEOS) was used as the precursor for the silica support. The molar composition of the sol was TEOS/THF/H2O/HCl = 1:3.5:4:0.05 for the bimetallic Pd-Au and TEOS/THF/H2O/HCl = 1:4.5:4:0.02 for Pd and Au monometallic systems. After refluxing, the colloid was added as a 4.5 wt % solution in THF for Pd-Au, 10.2 wt % solution in THF for Pd and 8.4 wt % solution in THF for Au at room temperature. The gelation was carried out with vigorous stirring (4 days) under an Ar atmosphere. Following these procedures, bimetallic Pd-Au-SiO2 catalysts with 0.6 and 1 wt % metal, and monometallic Pd- and Au-SiO2 catalysts with 1 wt % metal were prepared. These materials were further treated following four different routes: 1) by simple drying, 2) in which the dried catalysts were calcined in air at 723 K and then reduced at the same temperature, 3) in which they were directly reduced in hydrogen at 723 K, and 4) in which the surfactant was extracted using an ethanol-heptane azeotropic mixture. The catalysts were characterized by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms at 77 K, H2 chemisorption measurements, solid-state 1H, 13C, 29Si-CP/MAS-NMR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and 197Au Mössbauer spectroscopy. The physical characterization by a combination of these techniques has shown that the size and the structural characteristics of the Pd-Au colloid precursor are preserved when embedded in an SiO2 matrix. Catalytic tests were carried out in selective hydrogenation of 3-hexyn-1-ol, cinnamaldehyde, and styrene. These data showed evidence that alloying Pd with Au in bimetallic colloids leads to enhanced activity and most importantly to improved selectivity. Also, the combination of the two metals resulted in catalysts that were very stable against poisoning, as was evidenced for the hydrogenation of styrene in the presence of thiophene.

Abstract
Mesoporous alumina membranes ("anodic aluminium oxide", or "AAO") are made by anodic oxidation of aluminium metal. These membranes contain hexagonal arrays of parallel non-intersecting cylindrical pores perpendicular to the membrane surface. By varying the anodisation voltage, the pore diameters are controllable within the range 5-250 nm. We have used AAO membranes as templates for the electrochemical deposition of metals within the pores to produce nanowires. These represent assemblies of one-dimensional quantum wires with prospective applications in electronic, optoelectronic and magnetic devices. Detailed characterisation of the structures of these nanowire assemblies on a variety of length scales is essential to understand their physical properties and evaluate their possible applications. We have used EXAFS, XANES, WAXS, high energy X-ray diffraction and SAXS to study their structure and bonding. In this paper we report the results of our studies of four different nanowire systems supported in AAO membranes. These are the ferromagnetic metals iron and cobalt, the superconducting metal tin, and the semiconductor gallium nitride. Iron nanowires in pores of diameter over the range 12 nm-72 nm are structurally very similar to bcc bulk iron. They have a strong preferred orientation within the alumina pores. Their XANES shows significant differences from that of bulk iron, showing that the electronic structure of the iron nanowires depends systematically on their diameter. Cobalt nanowires are composed of a mixture of hcp and fcc phases, but the ratio of the two phases does not depend in a simple way on the pore diameter or preparation conditions. In bulk cobalt, the fcc beta-phase is normally stable only at high temperatures. Strong preferred orientation of the c-axis in the pores was found. Tin nanowires in alumina membranes with pores diameters between 12 nm and 72 nm have a tetragonal beta-structure at ambient temperature and also at 80 K. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that they are diamagnetic, and become superconducting at the same temperature as bulk tin (3.7 K). Gallium nitride nanowires have been prepared in alumina membranes with pore diameter 24 nm by a novel method. Gallium nitrate was deposited in the pores from aqueous solution and thermolysed at 1000 degrees C to form Ga2O3, which was reacted with ammonia at 1000 degrees C. The GaN nanowires have the wurtzite structure. Preparation at 1150 degrees C led to the incorporation of aluminium in the GaN. The mesoscopic ordering of the pores in the AAO membranes and their filling by metal nanowires has been studied by SAXS, which shows patterns of Bragg peaks arising from the pore arrays. Additionally, the cobalt nanowires have been the subject of an initial ASAXS study.

Abstract
Two complementary strategies are presented for the anchoring of molecular palladium complexes, of cobalt or platinum clusters or of gold colloids inside the nanopores of alumina membranes. The first consists in the one step condensation of an alkoxysilyl functional group carried by the metal complex with the hydroxy groups covering the surface of the membrane pores. Thus, using the short-bite alkoxysilyl-functionalized diphosphane ligands (Ph2P)2N(CH2)3Si(OMe)3 (1) and (Ph2P)2N(CH2)4SiMe2(OMe)] (2) derived from (Ph2P)2NH (dppa) (dppa bis(diphenylphosphanyl)amine), the palladium complexes [Pd(dmba)(kappa2-P,P-(Ph2P)2N(CH2)3Si(OMe)3)] Cl (3) and [Pd(dmba)[kappa2-P,P-(Ph2P)2N(CH2)4SiMe2(OMe)]]Cl (4) (dmba-H = dimethylbenzylamine). respectively, were tethered to the pore walls. After controlled thermal treatment. confined and highly dispersed palladium nanoparticles were formed and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This method could not be applied to the cobalt cluster [Co4(CO)8(mu-dppa)[mu-P,P-(Ph2P)2N(CH2)4SiMe2(OMe)]] (7) owing to its too limited solubility. However, its anchoring was achieved by using the second method which consisted of first derivatizing the pore walls with 1 or 2. The covalent attachment of the diphosphane ligands provides a molecular anchor that allows subsequent reaction with the cluster [Co4(CO)10(mu-dppa)] 6 to generate anchored 7 and this step was monitored by UV/Vis spectroscopy. In addition, the presence of carbonyl ligands in the cluster provides for the first time a very sensitive spectroscopic probe in the IR region which confirms both cluster incorporation and the retaining of its molecular nature inside the membrane. The presence of the bridging dppa ligand in 6 provides additional stabilization and accounts for the selectivity of the procedure. Using this method, platinum clusters (diameter ca. 2 nm) and gold colloids (diameter ca. 13 nm) were immobilized after passing their solution through the functionalized membrane pores. The resulting membranes were characterized by TEM which demonstrated the efficiency of the complexation and showed the high dispersion of the metal loading. The successful application of these methods has demonstrated that nanoporous alumina membranes are not only unique supports to incorporate metal complexes, clusters, or colloids but can also be regarded as functional matrices or microreactors, thus opening new fields for applications.
