In this review, the current state of the art in the synthesis of soluble-Ru, Co and Fe-nanoparticles stabilised by organic molecules is described. Polymers are widely applied for the synthesis of soluble-Ru, Co and Fe-NPs, whereas the application of surfactants, ionic liquids and small molecules is much more limited. The recent applications of soluble-metal NPs as catalysts in the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis are described. The application of soluble-metal nanocatalysts in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction using water, ionic liquids and high boiling point organic solvents is reviewed showing that higher activities and selectivities than those obtained using conventional supported catalysts can be achieved.
