Polymer‐protected bimetallic clusters areexcellent candidates as catalysts for various chemical reactions. For Example, Cu/Pd clusters accelerate the hydration of acrylonitrile (See Figure). However, hurdles femain to be overcome in their preparation. Following a brief overview of preparative techniques, details are given of a new method for the preparation of Cu/Pd binetallic clusters protected by poly( N ‐vinyl‐2pyrrolidone) from bimetallic hydroxide colloids.
