Gadolinium (Gd<sup>0</sup>) and uranium (U<sup>0</sup>) nanoparticles are prepared via lithium naphthalenide ([LiNaph])-driven reduction in tetrahydrofuran (THF) using GdCl<sub>3</sub> and UCl<sub>4</sub>, respectively, as low-cost starting materials. The as-prepared Gd<sup>0</sup> and U<sup>0</sup> suspensions are colloidally stable and contain metal nanoparticles with diameters of 2.5 ± 0.7 nm (Gd<sup>0</sup>) and 2.0 ± 0.5 nm (U<sup>0</sup>). Whereas THF suspensions are chemically stable unde ...[more]
