Abstract

See full text

An object of the present invention is to provide tetrahedral fine palladium particles having a high degree of shape selectivity, and a process for producing fine metal particles.The present invention provides fine palladium particles comprising particles having a tetrahedral shape in a proportion of 60 to 100% by number of particles; a palladium colloid obtained by uniformly dispersing the fine palladium particles within a solvent; a supported catalyst comprising the fine palladium particles dispersedly supported on the surface of, and/or in the pores of, a carrier comprising at least one of a ceramic, a carbon, and an organic polymer; a process for producing fine metal particles comprising: dissolving a tetranuclear precursor metal complex within a solvent to generate a uniform solution, and shape-selectively generating tetrahedral particles by decomposing the metal complex within the uniform solution; and a process for producing a catalyst, comprising bringing the above colloid into contact with a carrier comprising at least one of a ceramic, a carbon, and an organic polymer. The colloid or the catalyst prepared by supporting the colloid on a carrier exhibits a high level of activity and high selectivity in carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, hydrogenation reactions and the like.
