We present the direct synthesis of stabilizer-free Cu–Ir alloy nanoparticles (NPs) with tunable compositions. Cu and Ir are classically immiscible in the bulk. Therefore, the physical and catalytic properties of Cu–Ir alloys are largely unknown. A convenient microwave-assisted method utilizes readily available Cu2+ salts and IrCl3 in a modified polyol reaction; NaOH facilitates rapid solvent-assisted coreduction to yield CuxIr(100–x)NPs, where x can be varied within the approximate range 10–50. The as-synthesized NPs form stable dispersions of small (∼2 nm) and near-monodisperse cuboctahedra without the requirement of organic stabilizing (capping) agents, resulting in nanostructures that are directly amenable to heterogeneous catalysis. CuxIr(100–x)NPs supported on mesoporous Co3O4 show high selectivity toward the selective partial hydrogenation of crotonaldehyde to yield >40% crotyl alcohol in the vapor phase. The selectivity toward C═O versus C═C bond hydrogenation is largely insensitive to the Cu:Ir ra...
