FT special report : Cobalt nanoparticles with a size of around 7.7 nm prepared in 1‐alkyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imidate ionic liquids are effective catalysts for the Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis, yielding olefins, oxygenates, and paraffins (C 7 –C 30 ). The nanoparticles are easily prepared by the decomposition of [Co(CO) 8 ] in the ionic liquid at 150 °C and can be reused at least three times if they are not exposed to air.
