Abstract—

The key role of self-organization processes in the formation of stable nanoparticles of various metals (Fe, Au, Rh, Re, Pd) in reverse micelles (acting as microreactors) is experimentally confirmed. An important property of the water pools of reverse micelles is also confirmed: the water in these pools is in the polarized state and can reduce metal ions.
