Role of palladium in the redox electrochemistry of ferrocene monocarboxylic acid encapsulated within ORMOSIL networks

We report herein the effect of palladium on the redox electrochemistry of ferrocene monocarboxylic acid encapsulated within an organically modified sol-gel glass network (ORMOSIL). It has been found that amount of palladium and its geometrical distribution significantly alter the redox electrochemistry of FcMCA. The geometrical distribution of palladium has been controlled by two methods: (i) palladium is allowed to link within nanostructured network of the ORMOSIL which was subsequently availed from the reactivity of palladium chloride and trimethoxysilane; (ii) palladium powder is encapsulated together FcMCA thus allowing the presence of palladium within the nanoporous domain. The content of palladium is varied by controlling the reaction dynamics of palladium chloride and trimethoxysilane interaction. For this we initially allowed to trigger hydrolysis, condensation and poly-condensation of trimethoxysilane and dimethyldiethoxysilane in acidic medium and subsequently partially dried ORMOSIL film was allowed to interact with palladium chloride. Even with partially dried ORMOSIL derived from trimethoxysilane and dimethyldiethoxysilane undergoes rapid interaction with palladium chloride and the transparent color of ORMOSIL changed to a black colour due to the formation of palladium silicon linkage. The palladium-silicon linkage has been identified by NMR, UV-VIS and transmission electron spectroscopy. The electrochemistry of FcMCA encapsulated within such an ORMOSIL matrix has been studied. Excellent redox electrochemistry of ferrocene monocarboxylic acid having peak potential separation tending to 0 for a multilayered electrode was investigated. The palladium content has been found to affect the redox electrochemistry of ferrocene as well as electrocatalytic efficiency of new ORMOSIL material. The electroanalysis of NADH is reported. The modified electrode is very sensitive to NADH with lowest detection limit of < 1 microM.     

Olefinic substitution reaction catalyzed by sulfur-containing polymeric palladium complexes

Silica-supported sulfur-containing polymeric palladium complexes were synthesized by the coordination of sulfur-containing polymeric ligands with palladium acetate or palladium chloride. The activated alkenes were reacted selectively with iodobenzene in the presence of tertiary amines and polymeric palladium complexes containing sulfur to give phenyl-substituted derivatives. High yields can be obtained under appropriate conditions with a low catalyst concentration. The sulfur-containing polymeric palladium complexes showed higher activities and better selectivities and stabilities than the corresponding phosphine-containing systems.     

Mechanism of modification by palladium in graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

The effects of palladium and mixtures containing palladium on the absorbance characteristics of lead, thallium, cadmium, selenium, manganese and cobalt are described. These data, together with results of scanning electron microscopy showing the distribution of palladium on the graphite surface, indicate that palladium has a physical mechanism of analyte modification. During furnace heating, the analyte dissolves in molten palladium and may combine with it chemically. However, the rate limiting step leading to atomization appears to be diffusion of the analyte from palladium. The addition of magnesium, molybdenum or powdered carbon increases the speed of diffusion by causing palladium to form smaller droplets, and hence produces sharper absorbance peaks. Palladium becomes less effective as the atomization temperature increases, because the rate of diffusion is higher. This accounts for palladium having only a small stabilizing effect on less volatile elements such as manganese and cobalt. The addition of ascorbic acid to palladium has no significant effect on its modifying properties in a dilute nitric acid matrix. Results of kinetic studies on the atomization of gold are consistent with analyte diffusion out of palladium as the rate-limiting step leading to atomization.     

Stabilization of Palladium Atoms in Nitrogen-Doped Porphyrin-Like Fragments of Carbon Nanofibers

The paper considers the system of nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (N-CNFs) with palladium atoms deposited on their surfaces. The concentration of deposited palladium varied in the interval of 0.05-0.6 wt.%. The state of palladium was studied with the methods of quantum chemistry, electron microscopy, CO adsorption, and EXAFS. Carbon structures that contain porphyrin-like defects with four nitrogen atoms in the graphene layer interact strongly with palladium atoms and therefore can be stabilization centers of atomic palladium.     

Preparation of thin films comprising palladium nanoparticles by a solid-liquid interface reaction technique

A new approach to the formation of palladium nanoparticulate films with diameter between 6 and 50 nm by the solid-liquid interface reaction technique (SLIRT) has been presented. A solid film of palladium nitrate was formed by the modified spin coating method. This film is subsequently immersed in a reducing solution to initiate a reaction at the interface and ultimately transforms it to a palladium metal film. The kinetics of palladium reduction has been studied by UV-visible spectroscopy. The characterization of the palladium film has been performed by various physicochemical techniques such as XRD, ED, XPS, SEM, EDX, TEM, and UV-visible spectroscopy. The texture and morphology of the materials has been investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). At a constant palladium nitrate concentration, the average diameter of palladium nanoparticles decreases with an increase of hydrazine concentration. The effect of concentration of hydrazine on the particle size has been discussed. The palladium film formation mechanism has been proposed for the SLIRT.

Effect of Dissolving Temperature on the Amount of Palladium Dissolved in Borosilicate Glass

To clarify the dissolving behavior of palladium, the effect of temperature on the amount of palladium dissolved in borosilicate glass was investigated. Glass and palladium oxide, selected as a starter material, were mixed and heated at prescribed temperature. The amount of dissolved palladium became higher with temperature increasing up to 850 °C, and lower above 850 °C. Above 850 °C, the reduction of palladium oxide was accelerated. For palladium dissolution in borosilicate glass, not only the viscosity and basicity of the glass but also the decomposition temperature of the initial palladium species seemed to affect the amount of palladium dissolved in glass.

One- and Two-Photon-Induced Photochemistry of Modified Palladium Porphyrazines Involving Molecular Oxygen

Abstract— Octaphenyltetraanthraporphyrazinato palladium undergoes a self-sensitized photoreaction in the presence of oxygen to form a substituted palladium phthalocyanine with four endoperoxide bridges. This compound exhibits photophysical behavior similiar to palladium tetra-tert- butyl-phthalocyanine. The phthalocyanine-palladium complex with four endoperoxide bridges ejects molecular oxygen when excited by consecutive two-photon absorption in the Q-band region at 662 nm. This photocyclo-reversion, which produces palladium porphyrazines bearing a diminished number of endoperoxide bridges, can occur up to four times per initial molecule. Irradiation of these photoproducts in the presence of oxygen produces substituted palladium phthalocyanine containing four endoperoxide groups.     

Controlled immobilization of palladium nanoparticles in two different fluorinated polymeric aggregate cores and their application in catalysis

Fluoroalkyl end-capped betaine-type cooligomeric nanocomposites-immobilized palladium nanoparticles were prepared by the reactions of palladium chloride with sodium acetate in the presence of sodium chloride and the corresponding fluorinated cooligomers. Outer blocks of poly(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorostyrene)-containing ABA-triblock copolymeric nanocomposites-immobilized palladium nanoparticles were prepared by the use of the corresponding block copolymers under similar conditions. TEM images showed that palladium nanoparticles can be immobilized outside the fluorinated cooligomeric nanocomposite cores; in contrast, palladium nanoparticles can be effectively immobilized inside these fluorinated ABA-triblock copolymeric nanocomposite cores. Thus, these two different fluorinated copolymers enabled the controlled immobilization of palladium nanoparticles in the fluorinated nanocomposite cores. These fluorinated nanocomposites-immobilized palladium nanoparticles were also applied to the catalysts for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, and the different reactivity between these nanocomposites was observed.

Redox reactions involving hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of hybrid nanocomposites containing palladium and copper or palladium and silver in a cis-tetraphenylcalix[4]resorcinarene polymer matrix were studied. In the composites containing palladium and copper, the redox transformations involved copper. In the composites with palladium and silver, the redox reactions involved the polymer matrix. The reductions in the metal-polymer nanocomposites were catalyzed by palladium.     

Living Carbocationic Polymerization. VII. Living Polymerization of Isobutylene by Tertiary Alkyl (or Aryl) Methyl Ether/Boron Trichloride Complexes

Abstract

Colloidal palladium supported on a chelate resin containing iminodiacetic acid groups was prepared by refluxing the palladium chelate resin in methanol-water. Using the resin-supported colloidal palladium as a catalyst, cyclopentadiene was hydrogenated to cyclopentene in 97.1% selectivity at 100% conversion of cyclopentadiene under 1 atm of hydrogen in methanol at 30°C. Finely dispersed metal particles ranging from 10 to 60 Å in diameter were observed in the resin by electron microscopy. Both x-ray microanalysis for palladium and elution analysis of palladium ion with an aqueous solution of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt demonstrated the existence of large amounts of palladium ion complexes in the resin. The amount of palladium metal in the resin was estimated to be about 5% of the total palladium. Since the resin, after removal of most of the ionic palladium, exhibited almost the same catalytic activity as before, it was concluded that the finely dispersed metal particles are the active species in the catalyst.     

Palladium catalysts on porous nickel substrates for alcohol fuel cells

Parameters characterizing the active surface of catalytic palladium layers formed from mixed glycinate-chloride and ammonia complexes of palladium(II) were determined. Cyclic voltammetry on a rotating disc electrode was used to study the catalytic activity of nickel substrates and palladium layers in the reaction of methanol and ethanol oxidation in an alkaline medium. It was shown that electrodes with palladium deposited from mixed glycinate-chloride solutions have a higher catalytic activity that those formed from ammonia palladium(II) complexes.     

Extraction mechanism for palladium(II) from hydrochloric acid solution with 2-dodecylthiomethylpyridine using a stirred transfer cell.

2-Dodecylthiomethylpyridine (DTP) was newly synthesized to study its extraction properties for precious metals. DTP was a selective extractant for palladium(II) and gold(III) over base metals. The loading test for palladium(II) showed that one palladium ion reacted with one molecule of DTP. The extraction rate of palladium with DTP was measured using a Lewis-type transfer cell at 303 K. The extraction reaction of palladium with DTP has been found to be a first order reaction with respect to palladium ion, DTP, and hydrogen ion concentrations. This reaction is inversely proportional to chloride ion concentration. The rate-determining step was the parallel reactions of DTP with PdCl3(-) and PdCl4(2-) in the aqueous phase.     

Catalytic Oxidation of Iron(II) Aqua Complex by Oxygen in the Presence of Palladium(II) Tetraaqua Complex

The catalytic oxidation of iron(II) with oxygen occurs along with an autocatalytic reaction between palladium(II) tetraaqua complex and iron(II) aqua complex in an oxygen atmosphere. The reaction is catalyzed by a compound of palladium in an intermediate oxidation state, presumably by a small palladium cluster formed in the course of the reduction of palladium(II) tetraaqua complex with iron(II) aqua complex.     

Extraction of palladium(II) from hydrochloric acid solutions with triacylated ethyleneamines

Extraction of palladium(II) from hydrochloric acid solutions with novel efficient extractants, triacylated ethyleneamines, was studied. The most effective extraction of palladium(II) was observed from 0.5–1 M HCl solutions. Extraction of palladium(II) from 1 M HCl solutions was found to occur through mixed (coordination and anion-exchange) mechanism. In the field of dominance of the anion-exchange mechanism of the extraction of palladium(II) with triacylated pentaethylenehexamine the concentration constant of palladium(II) extraction was calculated, and thermodynamic parameters of extraction were evaluated.     

The Effect of Support Nature and the Temperature of Preliminary Calcination on the Atomic Catalytic Activity of Supported Palladium Catalysts for the Complete Oxidation of Hydrocarbons

It is shown that for palladium catalysts supported on various supports, there is no effect of thermal activation consisting of an increase in the turnover number (TON) of palladium with an increase in the temperature of sample calcination from 500 to 700°C, as was observed in the case of similar supported platinum catalysts; for two palladium–alumina catalysts calcined at 500°C and differing in the concentration of palladium and dispersity, the TON of low-dispersity palladium is substantially higher than the TON of high-dispersity palladium; all other conditions being the same, the TON of supported palladium is determined by the support nature.     

The leaching and re-deposition of metal species from and onto conventional supported palladium catalysts in the Heck reaction of iodobenzene and methyl acrylate in N-methylpyrrolidone

When supported palladium catalysts are used for Heck vinylation of iodobenzene with methyl acrylate in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) in the presence of triethylamine and sodium carbonate bases, the reaction proceeds homogeneously with dissolved active palladium species that are formed through coordination of NMP and triethylamine with palladium. These active species easily react with iodobenzene (oxidative addition), beginning the catalytic cycle of Heck coupling. The last step of catalyst regeneration takes place with the action of sodium carbonate. The active palladium species are not stable and deposit the metal to support when they cannot find iodobenzene to react in the reaction mixture after this substrate is completely consumed. The re-deposition of palladium occurs on the surfaces of bare support and/or palladium particles remaining on it, depending on the nature of support surface and the number and size of residual metal particles. The growth of palladium particles has been observed after the reuse of catalyst in some case. However, the supported catalysts are recyclable without loss of activity.     

Formation and Nature of Microheterogeneous Catalysts Based on Palladium Complexes

The mechanism of the formation and the nature of microheterogeneous catalysts for hydrogenation are discussed using acetylacetonate complexes of palladium with phosphine ligands as an example. Polynuclear palladium complexes with phosphide and phosphinidene ligands are obtained, and their role in the formation of hydrogenation catalysts is found. As distinct from phosphide complexes, amide complexes of palladium are unstable in a hydrogen atmosphere and undergo reduction to form highly dispersed palladium black.
