A rapid and simple route for the synthesis of lead and palladium nanoparticles in tetrazolium based ionic liquid

In the present work, we report a novel method for the synthesis of palladium and lead nanoparticles by the reduction method in tetrazolium ring based ionic liquid. Palladium and lead nanoparticles so-prepared were well characterized by powder X-ray diffraction measurements (pXRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and quasi elastic light scattering (QELS) techniques. Powder X-ray diffraction (pXRD) analysis revealed all relevant Bragg's reflection for crystal structure of palladium and lead. Powder X-ray diffraction plots also revealed no oxidized material of palladium and lead nanoparticles. TEM showed nearly uniform distribution of the particles in methanol and confirmed by QELS. Typical applications of palladium nanoparticles include in vitro use and sensor design applications. Palladium nanoparticles is also ideal for spin coating, self-assembly and monolayer formation. Palladium nanoparticles can also be considered as potential new catalysts.

The catalytic activity of the polymer-metal nanocomposites was shown to depend on the degree of solubilization and palladium nanoparticle size.

The synthesized catalyst was characterized by X‐ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption‐desorption measurement, transmission electron microscopy, and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. The catalytic activity was tested for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols. Easy recovery, high yeilds and relatively short reaction times were observed for the mentioned catalyst.     

Polymer-modified supported palladium catalysts for the hydrogenation of acetylene compounds

Palladium catalysts supported on zinc oxide modified with polyethylene glycol or pectin were synthesized and investigated in the hydrogenation of acetylene compounds. It was established that the polymercontaining catalysts reduce acetylene hyrbons to olefins with high activity, selectivity, and stability. The composition and structure of the obtained composites were studied by elemental analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and XPS spectroscopy. It was found that the nanosized particles of palladium uniformly immobilized on the surface of zinc oxide were formed in the course of the synthesis of a supported polymer/oxide complex.     

Biaryl formation via Suzuki and Stille coupling reactions using palladium nanoparticle/polymeric N‐heterocyclic carbene grafted silica as recyclable and efficient catalyst

Palladium nanoparticles supported on polymeric N‐heterocyclic carbene grafted silica as an efficient organic–inorganic hybrid catalyst is introduced. Pd⁰ nanoparticle formation, which is stabilized by the polymeric N‐heterocyclic carbene ligands and ionic liquid units, was confirmed using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy images showed microparticles of modified silica while transmission electron microscopy images displayed a fine distribution of Pd nanoparticles. The modified structure was applied successfully in biaryl formation via Suzuki and Stille coupling reactions. Various biaryls were generated through the reaction of phenylboronic acid or tetraphenyltin with a variety of haloarenes via cross‐coupling reactions. This catalyst showed promising activity after being recycled several times. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Argon glow discharge plasma‐reduced palladium nanoparticles supported on activated carbon for Suzuki and Heck coupling reactions

Palladium nanoparticles supported on activated carbon were prepared by argon glow discharge plasma reduction (Pd/C‐P) without any chemical reducing agents and protective agents. The as‐prepared Pd/C‐P catalyst was characterized using nitrogen adsorption–desorption, X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses. The results showed that the palladium nanoparticles reduced by plasma are well dispersed with a smaller particle size than commercial Pd/C. Pd/C‐P exhibited a high catalytic activity in Suzuki and Heck coupling reactions. Moreover, there was no obvious loss of catalytic activity even after eight repeated cycles, showing good reactivity and recyclability.     

Ligand effects on the size and purity of Pd nanoparticles

Palladium nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) were prepared by a single-phase reduction of palladium acetate in the presence of different organic thiol ligands. Sizes, size distributions and crystallinity of the Pd-NPs were determined by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) while thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectroscopy (TGA-MS) was employed to measure their organic ligand to palladium ratios and to quantify contaminants. No systematic effect of the different ligands on the size and purity of the Pd-NPs was observed but 1^st-generation Frechet dendron thiols had an about 4 times larger foot-print at the surface of the NPs than the other thiol ligands.

Pd/MIL‐101 nanocomposite was investigated for the Sonogashira cross‐coupling reaction of aryl and heteroaryl bromides with various alkynes under copper‐free conditions. The reusability of the catalyst was tested for up to four cycles without any significant loss in catalytic activity. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Nucleation and growth of palladium nanoparticles stabilized by polymers and layer silicates

Palladium nanoparticles were synthesized in aqueous medium via reduction by hydrazine using various polymers (polyvinylpyrrolidone and polystyrene sulfonate) and the clay mineral hectorite as stabilizers. The kinetics of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation processes was studied by UV-visible spectrophotometry. The effect of the polymer and concentration of the silicate and palladium ions on particle formation rate was investigated. The size of the nanoparticles were determined by transmission electron microscopy. Both polymers and the silicate lamellae were found to be capable of stabilizing the particles. The rate of reduction is decreased by increasing amounts of stabilizing agents and increased by increasing concentrations of precursor ions. The kinetics of heterogeneous nucleation was determined by the adsorption of the palladium species at the clay mineral particles and the viscosity of the hectorite dispersion.     

Encapsulated Pd nanocrystals supported by nanoline-structured SrTiO3(001)

Palladium nanocrystals were grown on a nanostructured SrTiO(3)(001) surface and annealed in ultrahigh vacuum at 620 degrees C. This leads to the so-called strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) state, characterized by encapsulation of the metal clusters with an oxide layer. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) of the oxide adlayer on the Pd(111) cluster surface reveals two superstructures with different lattice parameters and crystallographic rotations. Interpretation of the STM images is most readily achieved via noncommensurate TiO(x)() surface layers which result in two distinct Moiré patterns.

An approach for the enantioselective synthesis of biologically active furanones from a Morita-Baylis-Hillman adduct

Herein, we disclose an approach for the asymmetric synthesis of both enantiomers of an anti-inflammatory furanone. The approach is based on the utilization of a Morita-Baylis-Hillman adduct as starting material and has as key step a selective epoxide-opening/benzylic oxidation mediated by Palladium (II). This sequence afforded an advanced intermediate, which was used to accomplish the total synthesis. Experimental evidences allowed us to suggest a mechanistic proposal for the oxidation Palladium(II)-mediated.     

Analytical applications of thio. seleno and telluroethers: Part V. Titrimetric determination of palladium with sodium ethylene-bis-(thioglycolate)

Palladium solutions can be titrated visually and spectrophotometrically with sodium ethylene-bis (thioglycolate). Titrations were done in 2.5 M perchloric acid with nitroso-R salt as indicator. Palladium was determined in the range 5.0–30 mg (visual titration) and 2.0–10 mg (spectrophotometric titration): the tolerance for diverse ions is good, particularly with the spectrophotometric end-point. The probable structure of the isolated complex is given.     

High dispersion and electrocatalytic properties of palladium nanoparticles on single-walled carbon nanotubes

Palladium (Pd) nanoparticles were electrochemically dispersed on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by electroreduction of octahedral Pd(IV) complex formed on the SWNT surface. The structure and nature of the resulting Pd-SWNT composites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The electrocatalytic properties of the Pd/SWNT electrode for hydrazine oxidation have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry; high electrocatalytic activity of the Pd/SWNT electrode can be observed. This may be attributed to the high dispersion of palladium catalysts and the particular properties of SWNT supports. The results imply that the Pd-SWNT composite has good potential applications in fuel cells.     

Imidazolium-based zwitterionic surfactant: a new amphiphilic Pd nanoparticle stabilizing agent

Palladium nanoparticles (NPs) with an average size of 3.4 nm were prepared in water using imidazolium-based surfactant 3-(1-dodecyl-3-imidazolio)propanesulfonate (ImS3-12) as a stabilizer. The Pd NPs are highly dispersible in water and chloroform and were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and dynamic light scattering. The results indicate that in water the NP surface is covered with a double layer of ImS3-12 molecules. The NPs were effective in the aqueous biphasic hydrogenation of cyclohexene, with easy recycling and no loss of catalytic activity after four successive runs.     

Preparation of palladium clusters protected by silica-supported,crosslinking, partially phosphorylated poly(vinyl alcohol) and their catalytic activity

The palladium cluster protected by silica-supported, crosslinking, partially phosphorylated poly(vinyl alcohol) (P-PVA) was prepared from a crosslinking P-PVA–Pd(II) complex by reduction in alcohol. The P-PVA–Pd complex and the palladium cluster protected by P-PVA were analyzed by electron spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy. The complex formation between the Pd(II) ion and phosphoric acid groups in P-PVA was important in the formation of a fine palladium cluster. Palladium clusters protected by silica-supported crosslinking P-PVA were used as catalysts for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene or acrylic acid at 30°C under atmospheric pressure. The palladium cluster protected by crosslinking P-PVA supported on silica was the most active catalyst, was stable and had no by-products, compared with the palladium cluster protected by silica-supported noncrosslinking P-PVA or PVA.
