Facile Synthesis of Five‐fold Twinned, Starfish‐like Rhodium Nanocrystals by Eliminating Oxidative Etching with a Chloride‐Free Precursor

Abstract

Five-fold twinned, starfish-like Rh nanocrystals consisting of five arms (see TEM) have been synthesized in high yields with the use of [{(CF3COO)2Rh}2] as a precursor to completely eliminate oxidative etching from this system. The as-prepared Rh nanocrystals were shown with great performance as a substrate for SERS. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
