Stable ruthenium nanoparticles were prepared by the self-assembly of 1-dodecyne onto the 鈥渂are鈥?Ru colloid surface. The formation of a Ru鈥搗inylidene (Ru鈺怌鈺怌H鈥揜) interfacial bonding linkage was confirmed by the specific reactivity of the nanoparticles with imine derivatives to form a heterocyclic complex at the metal鈥搇igand interface, as manifested in 1H and 13C NMR, photoluminescence, and electrochemical measurements in which a ferrocenyl imine was used as the labeling probe. Notably, the resulting nanoparticles could also undergo olefin metathesis reactions with vinyl-terminated molecules, as exemplified by the functionalization of the nanoparticles with 1-vinylpyrene. In sharp contrast, no reactvity was observed with 1-dodecynide-stabilized ruthenium nanoparticles with either imine or vinyl derivatives, indicating that these (deprotonated) nanoparticles were stabilized instead by the formation of a Ru鈥揅鈮?d蟺 bond at the metal鈥搇igand interface.
