Abstract
Intermetallic nanoparticles (NPs) are highly interesting materials in catalysis due to their geometrically ordered structures and altered electronic properties, but the synthesis of defined intermetallic NPs remains a challenge. Here, we report a novel and facile approach for the synthesis of intermetallic Pd-In NPs in ionic liquids (ILs) at moderate temperatures. Depending on the molar ratio of the metal precursors and the reaction temperature, single-phase Pd3In, PdIn and Pd3In7 NPs were obtained, which was confirmed, e.g. by powder X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and optical emission spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma. The Pd-In NPs stabilized in ILs were used as catalysts in the liquid-phase semi-hydrogenation of diphenylacetylene (DPA). Highly ordered PdIn NPs with a CsCl type structure revealed both high activity and selectivity to cis-stilbene even at full DPA conversion. Intermetallic compounds such as PdIn can be used to isolate contiguous Pd atoms with another base metal into single Pd sites, thereby increasing the catalytic selectivity of Pd while stabilizing the individual sites in the intermetallic structures. This work may provide new pathways for the synthesis of single-phase intermetallic NPs and future insights into a more rational design of bimetallic catalysts with specific catalytic properties.

Abstract
Multimetallic nanoparticles often enhance the catalytic performance of their monometallic counterparts by increasing reaction rates, catalyst selectivity, and/or stability. A prerequisite for understanding structure- and composition-associated properties, however, is the careful design of multimetallic nanoparticles with various structures and compositions. Here, bimetallic Pd/Sn-based nanoparticles are prepared with a tunable composition and structure exploiting ionic liquids (ILs) as reaction medium (i. e., methyltrioctylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide). The nanoparticles are obtained in a one-pot synthetic procedure by reducing the metal salt precursors with triethylborohydride in the IL. The results show that the reaction parameters, in particular the nature and ratio of the Pd2+ /Sn2+ precursors as well as the reaction temperature, influence NP formation and composition. X-ray diffraction with Rietveld analysis and transmission electron microscopy are employed to determine NP size and phase composition. Under optimized reaction conditions Pd2 Sn or PdSn nanocrystals are formed as single-phase products after introducing an additional annealing step at 200 °C. Nanocrystals with intermetallic composition reveal enhanced catalytic properties in the semihydrogenation of diphenylacetylene which was used as a model reaction.

Abstract
Comparability of information gathered by different methods is vital to enhance knowledge in heterogeneous catalysis. A new type of flow-reactor has been developed which enables the comparison between the detailed information gained by surface science methods and industrial catalysis, thus contributing to bridge the pressure and material gaps. The design allows for catalytic investigations of compact, low-surface area materials at temperatures and pressures up to 500 °C and 10 bar, respectively. Catalytic measurements on pressed pills of Pd11Bi2Se2 in the semi-hydrogenation of acetylene and oriented single-crystalline slabs of InPd in methanol steam reforming are used as test cases for the reactor design. In the former, high-conversion of acetylene is demonstrated along with ensured inert sample transfer. In the latter, higher catalytic activity for the (110) surface is observed compared to the (100) and (111) surfaces. Most importantly, both test cases prove the viability of the reactor design, which opens new possibilities for studying different materials and systems.
