Palladium metal nanoparticle size control through ion paired structures of [PdCl4]2− with protonated PDMAEMA

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The mean diameter of palladium metal particles produced by citrate reduction of the (H(+))(n) PDMAEMA/[PdCl(4)](2-) aqueous system increases from 1.4 nm to 5.0 nm as the pH decreases from 6.3 to 3.3 and the (H(+))(n) PDMAEMA/[PdCl(4)](2-) species undergo conversion from a cross linked polymer network to a single chain structure.
