Synthesis and crystal structure of the palladium oxides NaPd3O4, Na2PdO3 and K3Pd2O4

NaPd₃O₄, Na₂PdO₃ and K₃Pd₂O₄ have been prepared by solid-state reaction of Na₂O₂ or KO₂ and PdO in sealed silica tubes. Crystal structures of the synthesized phases were refined by the Rietveld method from X-ray powder diffraction data. NaPd₃O₄ (space group Pm3¯n, a=5.64979(6) Å, Z=2) is isostructural to NaPt₃O₄. It consists of NaO₈ cubes and PdO₄ squares, corner linked into a three-dimensional framework where the planes of neighboring PdO₄ squares are perpendicular to each other. Na₂PdO₃ (space group C2/c, a=5.3857(1) Å, b=9.3297(1) Å, c=10.8136(2) Å, β=99.437(2)°, Z=8) belongs to the Li₂RuO₃-structure type, being the layered variant of the NaCl structure, where the layers of octahedral interstices filled with Na⁺ and Pd⁴⁺ cations alternate with Na₃ layers along the c-axis. Na₂PdO₃ exhibits a stacking disorder, detected by electron diffraction and Rietveld refinement. K₃Pd₂O₄, prepared for the first time, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmcm (a=6.1751(6) Å, b=9.1772(12) Å, c=11.3402(12) Å, Z=4). Its structure is composed of planar PdO₄ units connected via common edges to form parallel staggered PdO₂ strips, where potassium atoms are located between them. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of K₃Pd₂O₄ reveal a Curie-Weiss behavior in the temperature range above 80 K.     

Propane oxidation over Pd/LaFe0.8Co0.2O3 catalyst

Pd/LaFe_0.8Co_0.2O₃ was found to be more active than the Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst in propane oxidation. Activity and the oxidation state of palladium were strongly affected by the redox ratio (S) of reactants. Higher propane conversion could be obtained under rich conditions at higher temperatures, contributing to steam reforming. The presence of excess steam would bring about inhibition and oscillation.     

Direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from H2/O2 using Pd/Al2O3 catalysts

Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method and were used for the direct formation of hydrogen peroxide from H₂ and O₂. The H₂O₂ concentration and selectivity were strongly dependent on the solubility of hydrogen in the reaction medium. The modification of the support by halogenate has a beneficial effect on the selectivity. The state of the active Pd on Pd/Al₂O₃ catalysts was studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Pd(0) was found to be active.     

Pd(PBu 3 t ) Adducts of Os3(CO)12. Synthesis and Structures of Pd2Os3(CO)12(PBu 3 t )2 and Pd3Os3(CO)12 (PBu 3 t )3

Two new compounds Pd₂Os₃(CO)₁₂ , 13 and Pd₃Os₃(CO)₁₂ , 14 have been obtained from the reaction of with Os₃(CO)₁₂ at room temperature. The products were formed by the addition of two and three groups to the Os–Os bonds of Os₃(CO)₁₂. Compounds 13 and 14 interconvert between themselves by intermolecular exchange of the groups in solution. Compounds 13 and 14 have been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.Dedicated to Professor Brian F. G. Johnson on the occasion of his retirement – 2005.     

Catalytic oxidation of methane over Pd/Co3O4

The catalytic activity of Pd/Co₃O₄ toward methane oxidation has been examined in this study as a function of Pd loading, reaction temperature, space velocity and methane concentration in the reaction gas mixture. The bare oxide is quite active achieving a 100% methane conversion at 480°C under the reaction conditions used. The catalyst with the highest Pd loading tested of 10 wt.% yields the best activity curve, but the 5 wt.% Pd/Co₃O₄ catalyst performs nearly as well. Complete conversion for this catalyst is attained at 300°C and the activity remains stable over a 90-min test period.     

Stabilization of tautomeric forms P(OH)3 and HP(OH)2 and their derivatives by coordination to palladium and nickel atoms in heterometallic clusters with the Mo3MQ44+ core (M = Ni, Pd; Q = S, Se)

The cluster aqua complexes [Mo₃(MCl)Q₄(H₂O)₉]³⁺ (M = Pd or Ni) in hydrochloric acid solutions induce isomerization of the hydrophosphoryl compounds (HO)₂P(O)H, (HO)P(O)H₂, PhP(O)(OH)H, and Ph₂P(O)H into the hydroxo tautomers P(OH)₃, HP(OH)₂, PhP(OH)₂, and Ph₂P(OH), which are stabilized by coordination of the phosphorus atom to the Pd or Ni atoms. The reactions were studied by ³¹P NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The kinetics of the reactions of phosphorous acid with [Mo₃(PdCl)Q₄(H₂O)₉]³⁺ was investigated by spectrophotometry. The [Mo₃(Pd(PhP(OH)₂))S₄(H₂O)₂Cl₇]³⁻ complex was isolated as a supramolecular adduct with cucurbit [8]uril, and the [Mo₃(Ni(P(OH)₃))S₄(H₂O)₈Cl]³⁺ complex was isolated as an adduct with cucurbit [6]uril. The structures of both compounds were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 606–613, March, 2005.     

Chiral “P-N-P” ligands, (C20H12O2)PN(R)PY2 [R = CHMe2, Y = C6H5, OC6H5, OC6H4-4-Me, OC6H4-4-OMe or OC6H4-4-Bu] and their allyl palladium complexes

Chiral “P-N-P” ligands, (C₂₀H₁₂O₂)PN(R)PY₂ [R = CHMe₂, Y = C₆H₅ (1), OC₆H₅ (2), OC₆H₄-4-Me (3), OC₆H₄-4-OMe (4) or OC₆H₄-4-^tBu (5)] bearing the axially chiral 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-dioxy moiety have been synthesised. Palladium allyl chemistry of two of these chiral ligands (1 and 2) has been investigated. The structures of isomeric η³-allyl palladium complexes, (R′ = Me or Ph; Y = C₆H₅ or OC₆H₅) have been elucidated by high field two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The solid state structure of [Pd(η³-1,3-Ph₂-C₃H₃){κ²-(racemic)-(C₂₀H₁₂O₂)PN(CHMe₂)PPh₂}](PF₆) has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Preliminary investigations show that the diphosphazanes, 1 and 2 function as efficient auxiliary ligands for catalytic allylic alkylation but give rise to only moderate levels of enantiomeric excess.     

Crystal and Molecular Structure of trans-[Pd(Bu2S)2(NO2)2]

Single crystals of the [PdL₂(NO₂)₂] complex were obtained for the first time, where L is di-n-butylsulfide. Single crystal and powder diffraction studies provided new data on the molecular and crystal structure of this compound.     

A New Paramagnetic Pd(dmit)2 Salt: Tris(2,2′-Bipyridine)Nickel(II) Bis(1,3-Dithiole-2-Thione-4,5-Dithiolato)Palladate(II) Mono-Acetonitrile; [Ni(bpy)3][Pd(dmit)2]·CH3CN

Combination of the [Ni(bpy)₃]²⁺ cation complex and the [Pd(dmit)₂]⁻ anion (dmit=C₃S₅²⁻=1,3-dithiole-2thione-4,5-dithiolate) has resulted in the paramagnetic [Ni(bpy)₃][Pd(dmit)₂]·CH₃CN compound, a suitable precursor for a molecular magnetic conductor. Its crystal structure consists of a Pd(dmit)₂ anion arrangement that is quite different from segregated stack layers often found for M(dmit)₂−based compounds. The reduction of the [Pd(dmit)₂]^- to the 2− charged anion in the title compound most probably is the result of a charge disproportionation between Pd(dmit)₂ anions.     

Temperature-programmed desoprtion of H2 from the surfaces of pd/support and Pd-Ag/support catalysts (support = Al2O3, SiO2)

Thermal desorption of H₂ from the surface of Pd/support and Pd-Ag/support (support = Al₂O₃, SiO₂) catalysts has been investigated. Two wide desorption peaks can be observed for the 5% Pd/support catalyst. The presence of these peaks in the thermogram indicates that several adsorption states exist, which is the result of occurrance of different adsorption centers of specific bond strengths for hydrogen. The addition of silver to the palladium catalysts causes a considerable decrease in the size of the high temperature desorption peak. It is also worth noting that the temperature of the maximum of the desorption rate remains practically constant for all bimetallic catalysts studied. This means that the activation energy of the hydrogen desorption process does not change after the introduction of silver to the palladium catalyst.

Effect of Structure of Pd/WO3-ZrO2 Catalyst on Its Activity for Direct Oxidation of Ethylene to Acetic Acid

A series of 1%Pd/WO₃-ZrO₂ catalysts with different W/Zr ratios and calcination temperatures of WO₃-ZrO₂ were prepared by an impregnation method. Their crystal structure, surface state, and acidity were determined using X-ray diffraction, N₂ adsorption, NH₃ temperature-programmed desorption, pyridine infrared spectroscopy, and temperature-programmed reduction. Special attention was paid to the surface states of tungsten and palladium under different preparation conditions. The results revealed that WO_x surface species underwent a transformation from polytungstate species to coexistent polytungstate/crystalline WO₃ and further to crystalline WO₃ particles with increase of W/Zr ratio and calcination temperature. The W/Zr = 0.2 sample calcined at 1 073 K showed the maximum amount of polytungstates, which were responsible for the excellent activity. Moreover, the state of palladium was only dependent on the calcination temperature. Well-dispersed Pd species were responsible for high selectivity to acetic acid, and large metallic Pd particles were favorable for ethylene combustion.     

The Ternary Compounds Pd13ln5.25Sb3.75 and Pdln1.26Sb0.74: Crystal Structure and Electronic Structure Calculations

The new ternary compound Pd₁₃In_5.25Sb_3.75 was found. Its crystal structure was determined using a CCD diffractometer at room temperature. Evaluations and refinements finally yielded a C-centered monoclinic structure (space group, C2/c; Pearson symbol, mC88, Z=4) with a=15.189(2) Å, b=8.799(1) Å, c=13.602(2) Å, and β=123.83(1)°. For the entire data set of 3706 independent reflections residual values are R=0.0461 and R_w=0.0789. The structure was found to be isotypic to Pd₁₃Pb₉ with In and Sb on the Pb sites. The existence of a further ternary compound, which was already described as Pd₃In₄Sb₂, could be confirmed. Its composition range was determined by EPMA to be PdIn_1.2-1.3Sb_0.8-0.7. It does not melt congruently and we were not able to find suitable single crystals. However, we were able to prepare the pure ternary compound in order to perform X-ray powder diffraction using a Guinier image plate technique. The entire diffraction spectrum was refined by full profile Rietveld method using the program Fullprof. The α-PdSn₂ structure type (space group, I4₁/acd; Pearson symbol, t148, Z=16), proposed for this compound, was confirmed and the lattice parameters are a=6.4350(1) Å and c=24.3638(3) Å. The residual values were R_p=5.34 and R_wp=6.70. The tetragonal PdSn₂ structure type is a mixed variant of the CaF₂ type and the CuAl₂ type structure. Also in this ternary compound we assumed a random contribution of In and Sb over the 16e and 16f positions. The electronic structures of both compounds were investigated by extended Hückel calculations. Crystal orbital overlap populations show extended bonding interactions between the main group elements. The bonding interactions of the main group elements are almost optimized at the experimentally observed In/Sb ratio of the ternary compound. The In/Sb ratio in Pd₁₃In_5.25Sb_3.75 can thus be rationalized on the basis of the electronic structure.

129Xe NMR study of the localization of PdCl2 supported on carbon nanotubes

Localization of PdCl₂ clusters supported on multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) has been investigated using ¹²⁹Xe NMR of adsorbed xenon. As-made MWCNTs with channels initially inaccessible for adsorption and ball-milled MWCNTs with the totally accessible internal surface were used as supports. The observed ¹²⁹Xe NMR spectra were determined by the dynamics of xenon exchange between the aggregate pores and nanotube channels. No considerable changes of the ¹²⁹Xe NMR spectrum with the concentration of supported PdCl₂ were observed for the as-made MWCNT, while an additional resonance appeared for the ball-milled nanotubes. The ¹²⁹Xe NMR experiments evidenced the supported species to be localized on the internal surface of the ball-milled MWCNT.     

Synthesis and characterization of palladium(II) complexes with chiral aminophosphine ligands: Catalytic behaviour in asymmetric hydrovinylation. Crystal structure of cis-[PdCl2(PPh((R)-NHCHCH3Ph)2)2]

Optically active ligands of type Ph₂PNHR (R = (R)-CHCH₃Ph, (a); (R)-CHCH₃Cy, (b); (R)-CHCH₃Naph, (c)) and PhP(NHR)₂ (R = (R)-CHCH₃Ph, (d); (R)-CHCH₃Cy, (e)) with a stereogenic carbon atom in the R substituent were synthesized. Reaction with [PdCl₂(COD)₂] produced [PdCl₂P₂] (1) (P = PhP(NHCHCH₃Ph)₂), whose molecular structure determined by X-ray diffraction showed cis disposition for the ligands. All nitrogen atoms of amino groups adopted S configuration. The new ligands reacted with allylic dimeric palladium compound [Pd(η³-2-methylallyl)Cl]₂ to gave neutral aminophosphine complexes [Pd(η³-2-methylallyl)ClP] (2a-2e) or cationic aminophosphine complexes [Pd(η³-2-methylallyl)P₂]BF₄ (3a-3e) in the presence of the stoichiometric amount of AgBF₄. Cationic complexes [Pd(η⁴3-2-methylallyl)(NCCH₃)P]BF₄ (4a-4e) were prepared in solution to be used as precursors in the catalytic hydrovinylation of styrene. ³¹P NMR spectroscopy showed the existence of an equilibrium between the expected cationic mixed complexes 4, the symmetrical cationic complexes [Pd(η³-2-methylallyl)P₂]BF₄ (3) and [Pd(η³-2-methylallyl)(NCCH₃)₂]BF₄ (5) coming from the symmetrization reaction. The extension of the process was studied with the aminophosphines (a-e) as well as with nonchiral monodentate phosphines (PCy₃ (f), PBn₃ (g), PPh₃ (h), PMe₂Ph (i)) showing a good match between the extension of the symmetrization and the size of the phosphine ligand. We studied the influence of such equilibria in the hydrovinylation of styrene because the behaviour of catalytic precursors can be modified substantially when prepared ‘in situ’. While compounds 3 and bisacetonitrile complex 5 were not active as catalysts, the [Pd(η³-2-methylallyl)(η²-styrene)₂]⁺ species formed in the absence of acetonitrile showed some activity in the formation of codimers and dimers. Hydrovinylation reaction between styrene and ethylene was tested using catalytic precursors solutions of [Pd(η³-2-methylallyl)LP]BF₄ ionic species (L = CH₃CN or styrene) showing moderate activity and good selectivity. Better activities but lower selectivities were found when L = styrene. Only in the case of the precursor containing Ph₂PNHCHCH₃Ph (a) ligand was some enantiodiscrimination (10%) found.     

The role of TiO2 in the B2O3–Na2O–PbO–Al2O3 glass system

Optical and vibrational studies have been carried out on 60B₂O₃·(20−x)Na₂O·10PbO·10Al₂O₃:xTiO₂ (x=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mol%) glasses, in order to understand the role of TiO₂ in the 60B₂O₃·20Na₂O·10PbO·10Al₂O₃ glass matrix. The X-ray patterns reveal homogeneous glasses over the entire compositional range. The absorption spectra show that the energy of the optical band gap (ΔE_opt) and Urbach's energy (E_U) decreases as TiO₂ content increases. The changes observed in the Raman and IR spectra are related to the BO₄→BO₃ back conversion effect and the appearance of “loose” BO₄⁻ groups. The data indicate that titanium ions act as a network modifier.

Highly chemoselective coupling of allenylstannanes with organic iodides promoted by Pd(PPh3)4/LiCl: an efficient method for the synthesis of substituted allenes

An efficient method for the preparation of various monosubstituted arylallenes, disubstituted allenes and alkenylallenes via palladium-catalyzed coupling of allenylstannanes with aryl iodides or alkenyl iodides is described. The coupling reaction was carried out in the presence of Pd(PPh₃)₄ and LiCl using DMF as solvent. The possible role of LiCl in this coupling process is discussed based on the ¹¹⁹Sn NMR studies.
