Mesoporous silica-encapsulated Pt (Pt@mSiO2) and PtSn (PtSn@mSiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are representatives of a novel class of heterogeneous catalysts with uniform particle size, enhanced catalytic properties, and superior thermal stability. In the ship-in-a-bottle synthesis, PtSn@mSiO2intermetallic NPs are derived from Pt@mSiO2seeds where the mSiO2shell is formed by polymerization of tetraethyl orthosilicate around a tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide template, a surfactant used to template MCM-41. Incorporation of Sn into the Pt@mSiO2seeds is accommodated by chemical etching of the mSiO2shell. The effect of this etching on the atomic-scale structure of mSiO2has not been previously examined, nor has the extent of the structural similarity to MCM-41. Here, the quaternary Q2, Q3, and Q4sites corresponding to formulas Si(O1/2)2(OH)2, Si(O1/2)3(OH)1, and Si(O1/2)4in MCM-41 and the mesoporous silica of Pt@mSiO2and PtSn@mSiO2NPs were identified and quantified by conventional and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP)-enhanced29Si magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance. The connectivity of the −Si–O–Si– network was revealed by DNP-enhanced two-dimensional29Si–29Si correlation spectroscopy.
