Palladium π-adduct of corannulene

The ternary palladium π-adduct of corannulene and benzene, [Pd₆Cl₁₂·(C₂₀H₁₀)₂·(C₆H₆)₂]·C₆H₆ (1), has been prepared by reacting the cubic Pd₆Cl₁₂-cluster with C₂₀H₁₀ in benzene. It was structurally characterized to reveal η¹-binding of Pd₆Cl₁₂ to a hub C-atom of the convex surface of corannulene (Pd?C, 3.085(3) Å) and its η⁶-complexation to benzene (Pd?C_centroid, 3.431(3) Å). The behavior and persistence of 1 in some aromatic solvents has been revealed by UV-vis and ¹H NMR spectroscopy studies.

In Situ Dispersion of Palladium on TiO2 During Reverse Water–Gas Shift Reaction: Formation of Atomically Dispersed Palladium

The application of single-atom catalysts (SACs) to high-temperature hydrogenation requires materials that thermodynamically favor metal atom isolation over cluster formation. We demonstrate that Pd can be predominantly dispersed as isolated atoms onto TiO₂ during the reverse water–gas shift (rWGS) reaction at 400 °C. Achieving atomic dispersion requires an artificial increase of the absolute TiO₂ surface area by an order of magnitude and can be accomplished by physically mixing a precatalyst (Pd/TiO₂) with neat TiO₂ prior to the rWGS reaction. The in situ dispersion of Pd was reflected through a continuous increase of rWGS activity over 92 h and supported by kinetic analysis, infrared and X-ray absorption spectroscopies and scanning transmission electron microscopy. The thermodynamic stability of Pd under high-temperature rWGS conditions is associated with Pd-Ti coordination, which manifests upon O-vacancy formation, and the artificial increase in TiO₂ surface area.     

Palladium Catalyzed Synthesis of Fluorine-containing 3-Biaryl-l-ferrocenyl-2-propene-l-one

The novel organometallic compounds, 3-[4′(or 2′)-(4“-fluorophenyl)] phenyl-l-ferroc-enyl-2-propen-l-ones 5 were synthesized for nonlinear optical chromophores by Pd (0) catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. Their structures were established with elemental analysis, MS, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopies.     

Sorption–Spectrometric Determination of Palladium in Chloride Solutions

A sorption–spectrometric method was developed for the determination of palladium in solutions of complex composition using cellulose filters impregnated with trioctylamine with the subsequent formation of the colored compound of palladium with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol on the filter. It was demonstrated that conditions for the preconcentration of palladium coincide with conditions for the formation of colored compounds (green and red forms of palladium complexes) in the sorbent phase. The highest selectivity is observed for the formation of the green form; in this case, the determination of palladium is not affected by the interference from large amounts of concomitant elements (macrocomponents of ores). Palladium was determined on filters by diffuse reflectance spectrometry with the calculation of chromaticity characteristics and by a test scale. The detection limits were 0.5 (green form) and 0.3 (red form) g of palladium on the filter. High precision of results of the determination of palladium (RSD < 5%) is attained in a wide range of its concentrations.     

Formation of π-Allyl Palladium Complexes from Tertiary Alcohols

Reactions of 2-methyl-2-propanol, 2-methyl-2-butanol, 2-methyl-2-pentanol, 1-methyl-1-cyclohexanol, and 1-ethyl-1-cyclohexanol with palladium(II) tetraaqua complex in a perchloric acid medium give carbonyl and aromatic compounds, as well as the corresponding palladium -allyl complexes. The complexes were isolated from the reaction mixtures by way of formation of 2,2'-bipyridine complexes and characterized by the elemental analyses and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. The main direction of transformation of acyclic alcohols is formation of complexes with no alkyl substituents at the central carbon atom of the allyl ligand; with cyclic alcohols, exocyclic complexes are formed.     

Electrocatalytic Behavior of a Palladium–Polyaniline System Obtained by Electrodepositing Palladium into a Preliminarily Formed Polyaniline Film

The electrochemical behavior of Pd–PAN systems, where PAN stands for polyaniline, is studied. The systems are formed by electrodepositing palladium onto a PAN–GC electrode (GC, for glassy carbon). It is shown by atomic force microscopy that some palladium particles are deposited directly on the PAN surface even at potentials of low electroconductivity of PAN. Properties of Pd–PAN coatings formed by this technique are compared to those of Pd–PAN systems formed by cycling the potential of a GC electrode in a PdSO₄+ aniline solution, which were studied earlier. Redox characteristics of PAN and the degrees of the promotion of the electrocatalytic activity in the HCOOH oxidation reaction differ in the two systems. The differences are attributed to specific features inherent in the formation of the mixed coating, in particular, to differences in the degree of contact of palladium crystallites with PAN. The PAN degradation in the Pd–PAN systems is shown to be linked mainly to the PAN oxidation, which is catalyzed by the incorporated palladium particles.     

Differential Selectivity of Palladium–Phosphorus Catalysts in the Competitive Hydrogenation of Isomeric Chloronitrobenzenes

The competitive hydrogenation of сhloronitrobenzene isomers in the presence of different palladium- containing catalysts was studied. The nature of catalytic activity carriers for the Pd–P nanoparticles containing both Pd(0) clusters and palladium phosphides was determined by the method of phase trajectories. It was found that the hydrogenation of сhloronitrobenzene isomers under mild conditions occurred on the clusters of Pd(0), and the dependence of the differential selectivity of Pd–P clusters in the hydrogenation of o- and m-сhloronitrobenzene on the P/Pd ratio was related to the dispersity of the Pd(0) clusters.     

Preliminary Fluorimetric Screening of Fourteen Palladium Complexes as Potential Antitumor Agents

Making use of the fact that the combination of a drug substance with DNA may inhibit the duplication, synthesis and proliferation of DNA and the consistency of the in vivo and in vitro interactions, the authors worked out a preliminary screening method for testing complex agents as potential antitumor drugs using ethidium bromide as a fluorescence probe. In this report, the method was applied for in vitro testing fourteen synthesized palladium(Ⅱ)/phenanthroline/amino acid/chloride complexes as potential non-platinum antitumor agents. The fluorimetric screening method was compared with methylene blue tube test and trypan blue dye exclusion assay. All three methods gave agreeable results. Among the complexes tested, [Pd(phen)(lys)]Cl, [Pd(phen)(arg)]Cl and [Pd(phen)(pro)]Cl showed antineoplastic ratios for animal tumor S-180 56%, 50% and 48%, respectively, in accordance with the order of their binding constants with DNA, 7.96×10~6, 4.52×10~6 and 1.0×10~6, respectively. The test results show that fluor

X-Ray Emission Spectra and Electronic Structure of Palladium β-Diketonate Complexes

A series of palladium -diketonate complexes have been studied by X-ray spectroscopy. For interpreting the X-ray emission spectra, electronic structure calculations have been performed by the INDO method for the Pd(acac)₂ and Pd(hfac)₂ complexes in the ground state. The results of these calculations indicate that if one HOMO is excited, the electronic structure of the whole complex undergoes considerable rearrangements changing the sequence of HOMOs.
