Abstract

We describe the organic phase transfer of surfactant-stabilized rhodium nanoparticles previously synthesized in an aqueous solution of N,N-dimethyl-N-dodecyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium chloride (HEA12Cl); the addition of LiN(Tf)2 to the aqueous suspension of Rh-HEA12Cl transferred the hydrosol nanoparticles to an ionic liquid phase.
