Low-Temperature Sorption–Luminescence Determination of Platinum Using Silica Chemically Modified with N-Allyl-N"-Propylthiourea and N-Phenyl-N"-Propylthiourea

Silicas chemically modified with N-allyl-N"-propylthiourea and N-phenyl-N"-propylthiourea were proposed for the low-temperature sorption–luminescence determination of platinum. The sorption of platinum(II) and platinum(IV) at the surface of sorbents yields coordination compounds luminescing at 77 K under UV irradiation. Luminescence spectra of platinum(II) complexes of thiourea derivatives covalently bonded to the silica surface exhibit a broad structureless band with a maximum at 585 nm. For the sorbent with N-allyl-N"-propylthiourea groups, the detection limit of platinum is 0.1 g per 0.1 g of the sorbent. The calibration plot is linear up to 50 g/0.1 g. The detection limit and the linearity range of calibration plots depend on the mass of the sorbent. The proposed procedure was used for the analysis of aluminoplatinum catalysts.     

Bismuth(III) complexing with some N- and N,N-substituted thioureas

Stability constants at ionic strength I = 2 and 293 K were determined spectrophotometrically for multiligand bismuth(III) complexes with thiourea (Tu), N-phenylthiourea (Ptu), N-phenyl-N′-propylthiourea (Pptu), N,N′-diphenylthiourea (Bptu), and N-allyl-N′-propylthiourea (Aptu). The protonation constants of these ligands in perchloric acid solutions were also determined. The stability of the listed complexes changes in the following order of ligands: aptu > tu > pptu > ptu > bptu. This order coincides with the order of changing protonation constants.

Oxidation of Hydrogen on Complexes of Platinum and Palladium with N-Allyl-N´-propylthiourea Immobilized on Silica Surfaces

Complexes of platinum and palladium with N-allyl-N´-propylthiourea immobilized on an SiO₂ surface have high catalytic activity in the oxidation of hydrogen in the temperature range 273-373 K after partial destruction of the ligand. The kinetics of the oxidation of hydrogen is in accord with the Eley–Rideal mechanism.     

Characteristics of the Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide on Platinum and Palladium Acetylacetonates Immobilized on a Silica Surface

Characteristics of the kinetics of the oxidation of carbon monoxide on acetylacetonates of palladium and platinum immobilized on a silica surface have been studied. The bound metal complexes show no hysteresis in the dependence of the rate of reaction on the concentration of CO and O₂ and have a higher catalytic activity than Pt/SiO₂ and Pd/SiO₂. A mechanism is proposed for the oxidation of carbon monoxide on platinum and palladium complexes bound to a SiO₂ surface.     

Transition metal nanoparticles protected by amphiphilic block copolymers as tailored catalyst systems

 Several stable palladium, platinum, silver, and gold colloids were prepared by reducing the corresponding metal precursors in the presence of protective amphiphilic block copolymers. Some palladium and platinum precursors with different hydrophobicities, namely palladium chloride PdCl₂, palladium acetate Pd (CH₃COO)₂, hexachloroplatinic acid H₂PtCl₆, and platinum acetylacetonate Pt (CH₃COCH=C(O–)CH₃)₂, have been used in order to investigate differences in their catalytic activity. The polymers investigated for their ability to stabilize such transition metal colloids were polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide) and polystyrene-b-poly(methacrylic acid). The metal particle sizes and morphologies were determined by transmission electron microscopy and found to be in the M28.8nnanometer range. The catalytic activity of the palladium and platinum colloids was tested by the hydrogenation of cyclohexene as a model reaction. The protected palladium and platinum nanoparticles were found to be catalytically active, and final conversions up to 100% cyclohexane could be obtained. Depending on the choice of polymer block types and lengths, the precursor type, and the reduction method, different nanoparticle morphologies and catalytic activities could be obtained. These novel catalytically active metal–polymer systems are thus promising candidates for the development of tailored catalyst systems. Received: 10 June 1996 Accepted: 30 October 1996     

Palladium chloride anchored on organic functionalized MCM‐41 as a catalyst for the Heck reaction

Palladium chloride was grafted to amino‐functionalized MCM‐41 to prepare heterogeneous catalysts. XRD, N₂ adsorption–desorption isotherms, IR, ¹³C and ²⁹Si cross‐polarization magic‐angle spinning NMR spectroscopy and XPS techniques were employed to characterize the catalytic materials. The heterogeneous palladium catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the Heck vinylation of iodobenzene with methyl acrylate, giving 92% yield of methyl cinnamate in the presence of N‐methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and triethylamine (Et₃N). The stability of the heterogeneous catalyst was also studied in detail. The catalytic tests showed that the palladium leaching correlated to solvent, base and palladium loading. The heterogeneous catalyst exhibited excellent stability towards loss of activity and palladium leaching was not observed during six recycles in the presence of toluene and Na₂CO₃.

A survey of crystal structures and biological activities of platinum group metal complexes containing N-acylthiourea ligands

Abstract

N-Acyl-thioureas are important compounds in the field of organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. Research interest in these compounds has grown recently because coordination to metal ions enhances their application especially in view of medicinal studies. These thiourea derivatives possess rich coordination chemistry and the coordination behavior of these derivatives alters upon reaction with different metals. Such ligands generally coordinate to Pt(II) and Pd(II) ions in a bidentate S,O manner and often coordinate to Ru(II), Rh(III) and Ir(III) centers through the S donor atom. We isolated some complexes of these ligands by reaction with sodium azide which coordinates to Ru(II), Rh(III), and Ir(III) in a bidentate S,N fashion. The deprotonated thiourea nitrogen atom resulted in the formation of strained 4-membered ring structures around the metal center. Biological application of N-acyl thiourea derivatives and their platinum group metal complexes are further discussed. Studies has shown that these compounds can be used as drugs to treat several human diseases like microbial infections, tuberculosis, carcinomas, malaria, leishmaniasis, urease inhibitors and anti-inflammatory. This review intends to summarize the recent advancement in the chemistry of N-acyl-thioureas and highlight some perspectives in the synthesis, versatile coordination behavior to ruthenium, rhodium, iridium, platinum and palladium, and their metal complexes in biological applications.     

Oxidation of Hydrogen by Metal Complexes of Platinum and Palladium Immobilized on Silica

The thermal stability of metal complexes immobilized on the surface of silica and its connection with the catalytic activity in the oxidation of hydrogen were investigated. High catalytic activity was exhibited by heterogenized platinum and palladium acetylacetonate near room temperatures in the initial state and by γ-aminopropylsilicas treated with platinum and palladium complexes. The catalytic activity of the metal complexes correlates with their thermal stability and with the ability to undergo oxidation to a metal state with high valence.

Kinetics of electrochemical reduction of 2-carbomethoxy-1,1-dichloro-2-methylcyclopropane by the double mediator system anthracene-PtII,PdII, and NiII complexes of cyclic aminomethylphosphines

Effective rate constants of homogeneous reduction of 2-carbomethoxy-1,1-dichloro-2-methylcyclopropane have been calculated by the polarographic method of determining the catalytic increase in the limiting current of the reduction wave of mediators,i.e., individual complexes of platinum, palladium or nickel with cyclic aminomethylphosphines and their combination with anthracene radical anions. Platinum compounds show higher catalytic activity than palladium and nickel complexes in direct reduction with metallocomplexes. The catalytic activity of a double mediator system for the majority of metallocomplexes is higher than the total catalytic activity of the individual metallocomplex and organic carrier.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Comparisons between cationic polyelectrolytes and nonionic polymers for the protection of palladium and platinum nanocatalysts

Several palladium and platinum nanocatalysts protected by cationic polyelectrolytes were prepared by the in-situ reduction of palladium chloride, PdCl₂, and dihydrogen hexachloroplatinate, H₂PtCl₆. The particle sizes and size distributions were determined by transmission electron microscopy, and the colloids were further characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of these nanoparticles was qualitatively investigated by the hydrogenation and conversion of cyclohexene as a model reaction and compared to palladium and platinum colloids protected by a selection of water-soluble, nonionic polymers. The results show that the catalytic activity is strongly influenced by the protective polymer chosen, as well as particle size and morphology. The use of cationic polyelectrolytes decreases the catalytic activities significantly, in comparison to several water-soluble, nonionic polymers investigated. The effects depend strongly on the particular metal, as illustrated in this case by differences observed between palladium and platinum. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Low-temperature oxidation of carbon monoxide on Pd(Pt)/CeO2 catalysts prepared from complex salts

Catalysts containing cerium oxide as a support and platinum and palladium as active components for the low-temperature oxidation of carbon monoxide were studied. The catalysts were synthesized in accordance with original procedures with the use of palladium and platinum complex salts. Regardless of preparation procedure, the samples prepared with the use of only platinum precursors did not exhibit activity at a low temperature because only metal and oxide (PtO, PtO₂) nanoparticles were formed on the surface of CeO₂. Unlike platinum, palladium can be dispersed on the surface of CeO₂ to a maximum extent up to an almost an ionic (atomic) state, and it forms mixed surface phases with cerium oxide. In a mixed palladium-platinum catalyst, the ability of platinum to undergo dispersion under the action of palladium also increased; as a result, a combined surface phase with the formula Pd _x Pt _y CeO_{2 ? δ}, which exhibits catalytic activity at low temperatures, was formed.     

Addition of Tetrachloromethane to Alkenes,Catalyzed by Pt(II) Complexes

Platinum(II) complexes [dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(II), dichlorobis(tri-m-tolylphosphine)platinum(II), dichloro(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-N, N′-phenanthroline)platinum(II), etc.] showed catalytic activity in addition of tetrachloromethane across the double bond in 1-hexene, 1-heptene, 1-octene, 1-decene, and cyclohexene. The stability of the platinum catalysts was evaluated by GLC, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and ³¹P NMR and IR spectroscopy; the kinetic relationships of the addition reactions were determined. A reaction mechanism involving formation of trichloromethyl radical was suggested. A correlation was revealed for the first time between the catalytic activity of platinum, palladium, and rhodium complexes and the capability of these complexes to generate hexachloroethane.__________Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 75, No. 5, 2005, pp. 778–782.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Zazybin, Khusnutdinova, Osipova, Solomonov.     

Novel and efficient bridged bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium(II) catalysts for selective carbonylative Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions to biaryl ketones and biaryl diketones

Bridged N,N′-substituted bisbenzimidazolium bromide salts (L1, L2, and L3) were synthesized and fully characterized. Reactions of palladium acetate with L1, L2, and L3 afforded corresponding new bridged bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium(II) complexes (C1, C2, and C3) in high yields. The X-ray structure of complex C1 showed that the Pd(II) ion is bonded to the two carbon atoms of the bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) and two bromido ligands are in the cis position, resulting in a distorted square planar geometry. The three Pd(NHC)₂Br₂ complexes C1, C2, and C3 were evaluated in carbonylative Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions of aryl boronic acids with aryl halides and displayed high catalytic activity with low catalyst loading. The coupling reactions of aryl bromides were selective towards the carbonylation product at higher carbon monoxide pressure.     

Novel (N‐heterocyclic carbene)Pd(pyridine)Br2 complexes for carbonylative Sonogashira coupling reactions: Catalytic efficiency and scope for arylalkynes,alkylalkynes and dialkynes

New N,N′‐substituted imidazolium salts and their corresponding dibromidopyridine–palladium(II) complexes were successfully synthesized and characterized. Reactions of palladium bromide with the newly synthesized N,N′‐substituted imidazolium bromides ( 2a and 2b ) in pyridine afforded the corresponding new N‐heterocyclic carbene pyridine palladium(II) complexes ( 3a and 3b ) in high yields. Their single‐crystal X‐ray structures show a distorted square planar geometry with the carbene and pyridine ligands in trans position. Both complexes show a high catalytic activity in carbonylative Sonogashira coupling reactions of aryl iodides and aryl diiodides with arylalkynes, alkylalkynes and dialkynes.     

Crystal Structures of (PPh3)2Pd(N3)2, (AsPh3)2Pd(N3)2, (2‐Chloropyridine)2Pd(N3)2, [(AsPh4)2][Pd2(N3)4Cl2], [(PNP)2][Pd(N3)4], [(AsPh4)2][Pt(N3)4] · 2 H2O,and [(AsPh4)2][Pt(N3)6]

The crystal structures of the monomeric palladium(II) azide complexes of the type L₂Pd(N₃)₂ (L = PPh₃ ( 1 ), AsPh₃ ( 2 ), and 2‐chloropyridine ( 3 )), the dimeric [(AsPh₄)₂][Pd₂(N₃)₄Cl₂] ( 4 ), the homoleptic azido palladate [(PNP)₂][Pd(N₃)₄] ( 5 ) and the homoleptic azido platinates [(AsPh₄)₂][Pt(N₃)₄] · 2 H₂O ( 6 ) and [(AsPh₄)₂][Pt(N₃)₆] ( 7 ) were determined by X‐ray diffraction at single crystals. 1 and 2 are isotypic and crystallize in the triclinic space group P1. 1 , 2 and 3 show terminal azide ligands in trans position. In 4 the [Pd₂(N₃)₄Cl₂]^2– anions show end‐on bridging azide groups as well as terminal chlorine atoms and azide ligands. The anions in 5 and 6 show azide ligands in equal positions with almost local C_4h symmetry at the platinum and palladium atom respectively. The metal atoms show a planar surrounding. The [Pt(N₃)₆]^2– anions in 7 are centrosymmetric (idealized S₆ symmetry) with an octahedral surrounding of six nitrogen atoms at the platinum centers.     

Effect of the concentration of Pt(IV) and Pd(II) chloro complexes on the proportions of their ion-exchanged and coordinatively bound species on the γ-Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> surface

The interaction of platinum(IV) and palladium(II) chloro complexes with the γ-Al₂O₃ surface in a wide range of surface metal concentrations is reported. Varying the concentration of the adsorbed metal complex on the alumina surface causes changes both in the proportions of weakly and strongly bound desorbable platinum species and in the proportions of desorbable (ion-exchanged) and nondesorbable (coordinatively bound) complexes. The adsorbed palladium complexes are more uniform in chemical composition and binding strength and consist largely of desorbable species removable from the surface by competitive sorption of anions. The absolute amount of coordinatively bound platinum and palladium species increases as the total metal content of the sample is raised to 1.0% and remains almost invariable at higher metal contents.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Catalysis of Water-Soluble Trimeric and Monomeric Palladium Complexes of 8-Aminoquinolines

New water soluble neutral and cationic palladium complexes were synthesized using 8-aminoquinoline (8-AQ) and 2-methyl 8-aminoquinoline (2-Me 8-AQ) ligands and their catalytic properties were evaluated. The neutral trimeric complexes having a Pd₃N₃ core were found to form when Pd(OAc)₂ was reacted with 8-AQ or 2-Me 8-AQ irrespective of the stoichiometry between the 2 reagents. Controlled addition of triflic acid to the neutral trimeric complex resulted in the formation of a trimeric cationic palladium complex as well as a monomeric cationic complex. A cationic palladium complex having two units of 2-Me-8AQ ligand was also synthesized from the cationic monomeric complex. Crystal structures of the new palladium complexes are reported in this study. The water-soluble neutral palladium complex showed catalytic activity for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols to benzaldehydes, while the cationic palladium complexes were found to be efficient catalysts for the oxidation of styrenes to methyl ketones.     

Synthesis, structures and photoluminescence behavior of some group 10 metal alkynyl complexes derived from 3-(N-carbazolyl)-1-propyne

A new class of luminescent and thermally stable mononuclear group 10 platinum(II) and palladium(II) acetylides trans-[Pt(PR₃)₂(L)₂] (R = Bu, Et) and trans-[Pd(PBu₃)₂(L)₂] (LH = 3-(N-carbazolyl)-1-propyne) have been successfully synthesized and characterized. The structural properties of these discrete metal complexes have been studied by X-ray crystallography. We report their optical absorption and photoluminescence spectra and interpret the results in terms of the nature of the metal center and the type of phosphines used. Our investigations indicate that they display heavy metal-enhanced phosphorescence bands at 77 K and we find that the platinum complexes afford more intense triplet emission than that for the palladium congener, consistent with the stronger heavy-atom effect of the third row element than the second row neighbor of the same group.     

Palladium nanoparticles supported on poly (N-vinylpyrrolidone)-grafted silica as new recyclable catalyst for Heck cross-coupling reactions

Novel catalytic system based on palladium nanoparticles supported on poly (N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) grafted silica was prepared. Aminopropylsilica was reacted with acryloyl chloride to form acrylamidopropylsilica, and onto this functionalized silica vinylpyrrolidone monomer was polymerized by free-radical polymerization. The complexation of PVP-grafted silica with PdCl₂ was carried out to obtain the heterogeneous catalytic system. X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image showed that palladium dispersed through the support in nanometer size. This catalytic system exhibited excellent activity in cross-coupling reactions of aryl iodides, bromides and also chlorides with olefinic compounds in Heck-Mizoraki reactions in short reaction time and high yields. Elemental analysis of Pd by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) technique and hot filtration test showed low leaching of the metal into solution from the supported catalyst. The catalyst can be reused several times in repeating Heck reaction cycles without considerable loss in its activity.
