The state of palladium in the nanosized hydrogenation catalysts modified with elemental phosphorus

The size, nature, and surface state of nanoparticles formed by reduction of Pd(acac)₂ with hydrogen in the presence of P₄ have been elucidated by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction analysis, and transmission electron microscopy. The nanoparticles (average diameter of 5.6 nm) consist of Pd₆P and palladium nanoclusters (at initial ratio P/Pd = 0.3). Dimethylammonium dihydro- and hydrophosphates are found in the surface layer of the catalyst nanoparticles. The nanoparticles are stabilized by ammonium salts formed via dimethylformamide hydrolysis.

Effect of the nature of the acido ligand in the precursor on the properties of nanosized palladium-based hydrogenation catalysts modified with elemental phosphorus

The effect of the nature of the acido ligand in the precursor and the modifying action of elemental phosphorus on palladium catalysts for hydrogenation are reported. The large turnover frequency (TOF) and turnover number (TON) values observed for styrene hydrogenation on the Pd blacks prepared in situ by PdCl₂ reduction with hydrogen in DMF are due to the formation of fine-particle catalyst with a base particle size of 6–10 nm. This is explained by the high PdCl₂ reduction rate and by the formation of a palladium cluster stabilizer—dimethylammonium chloride—in the reaction system via the catalytic hydrolysis of the solvent (DMF). The modifying action of elemental phosphorus on the properties of the palladium catalysts depends on the nature of the acido ligand in the precursor. In the case of oxygen-containing precursors at small P/Pd ratios, elemental phosphorus exerts a promoting effect, raising the TON and TOF values by a factor of about 9. In the case of palladium dichloride as the precursor, white phosphorus exerts an inhibiting effect. At the same time, it enhances the stability of the catalyst, raising the TON value at P/Pd = 0.3. The causes of these distinctions are considered.     

Nature of the modifying action of white phosphorus on the properties of nanosized hydrogenation catalysts based on bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium(0)

The catalytic properties and nature of the nanoparticles forming in the system based on Pd(dba)₂ and white phosphorus are reported. A schematic mechanism is suggested for the formation of nanosized palladium-based hydrogenation catalysts. The mechanism includes the formation of palladium nanoclusters via the interaction of Pd(dba)₂ with the solvent (N,N-dimethylformamide) and substrate and the formation of palladium phosphide nanoparticles. The inhibiting effect exerted by elemental phosphorus on the catalytic process is due to the conversion of part of the Pd(0) into palladium phosphides, which are inactive in hydrogenation under mild conditions, and the formation of mainly segregated palladium nanoclusters and palladium phosphide nanoparticles. By investigating the interaction between Pd(dba)₂ and white phosphorus in benzene, it has been established that the formation of palladium phosphides under mild conditions consists of the following consecutive steps: Pd(0) → PdP₂ → Pd₅P₂ → Pd₃P. It is explained why white phosphorus can produce diametrically opposite effects of on the catalytic properties of nanosized palladium-based hydrogenation catalysts, depending on the nature of the palladium precursor.     

Membrane catalysts for hydrogenation with cryochemically synthesized palladium clusters

New type of membrane catalysts has been prepared through blinding of 2–3 µm pores of cermet membranes with Pd clusters from its cryochemically synthesized sol in toluene. Those catalysts display 30 times superior activity with respect to Pd weight than the membrane catalysts in the form of foil from Pd alloys.     

Synthesis of palladium colloids within polydimethylsiloxane and their use as catalysts for hydrogenation

The presence of unreacted silanes within cured polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) leads to the reduction of tetrachloropalladate(II) ions, generating encapsulated palladium colloids. The resulting colloids had varied morphology and were typically less than 80 nm in size. The Pd/PDMS vessels, which contained 0.10±0.01% Pd, were effective catalysts for the hydrogenation of carbon-carbon multiple bonds for at least ten successive runs with no loss of catalytic activity, and the catalyst does not exhibit the same pyrophoric behavior as Pd on carbon after use in hydrogenation reactions. In addition, storage of previously used Pd/PDMS vessels for 6 months in air did not affect the catalytic activity, and the overall morphology of the catalysts after use was the same as those that have not been involved in catalytic reactions.     

Effect of support on activity of palladium catalysts in nitrobenzene hydrogenation

The effect of two types of catalysts on the activity of the catalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene was studied. Catalysts were prepared by the surface deposition of palladium hydroxide with a simultaneous reduction with formaldehyde in a basic environment and were characterised by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, adsorption-desorption, and catalytic tests — hydrogenation of nitrobenzene in methanol. The influence of the supports’ (activated carbon and a mixture of activated carbon and multi-walled carbon nanotubes) surface area is discussed. Despite having a size comparable (4–5 nm) to crystallites of metallic palladium, the catalyst prepared on a mixture of activated carbon and nanotubes (Pd/C/CNT) was significantly less active than the catalyst prepared on pure activated carbon (Pd/C); the rate of this reaction was approximately 30 % lower than the initial reaction rate. This feature could be attributed to the lower specific surface area of the Pd/C/CNT (531 m² g^?1) in comparison with the Pd/C (692 m² g^?1).     

Generation and properties of hydrogenation catalysts based on palladium bisacetylacetonate and lithium alkoxyhydroaluminates

Generation and properties of a catalytic system for hydrogenation, based on Pd(acac)₂ and LiAlH₄ and modified with n-BuOH and t-BuOH, were studied. The promoting and inhibiting effects of the alcohols were revealed, and their causes were discussed.     

Formation and properties of hydrogenation catalysts based on palladium bisacetylacetonate and sodium tetrahydroborate

Properties of the Pd(acac)₂-nNaBH₄ system in catalysis of the reactions of hydrogenation of alkenes, alkynes, and carbonyl and nitro groups were studied. A number of spectral methods (NMR, UV spectroscopy) and X-ray phase analysis were used to examine the main stages of formation of palladium hydrogenation catalysts produced in the interaction of Pd(acac)₂ with sodium tetrahydroborate, and reasons for the bimodal nature of the dependence of the catalytic activity on the B/Pd ratio were considered.     

Development of magnetic,ferrite supported palladium catalysts for 2,4-dinitrotoluene hydrogenation

Cobalt, copper, and nickel ferrite spinel nanoparticles have been synthesized by using a combination of sonochemical treatment and combustion. The magnetic nanoparticles have been used as supports to prepare ~4 wt% palladium catalysts. The ferrites were dispersed in an ethanolic solution of Pd(II) nitrate by ultrasonication. The palladium ions were reduced to metallic Pd nanoparticles, which were then attached to the surface of the different metal oxide supports. Thus, three different catalysts (Pd/CoFe₂O₄, Pd/CuFe₂O₄, Pd/NiFe₂O₄) were made and tested in the hydrogenation of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT). A possible reaction mechanism, including the detected species, has been envisaged based on the results. The highest 2,4-diaminotoluene (TDA) yield (99 n/n%) has been achieved by using the Pd/NiFe₂O₄ catalyst. Furthermore, the TDA yield was also reasonable (84.2 n/n%) when the Pd/CoFe₂O₄ catalyst was used. In this case, complete and easy recovery of the catalyst from the reaction medium is ensured, as the ferrite support is fully magnetic. Thus, the catalyst is very well suited for applicationy in the hydrogenation of DNT or other aromatic nitro compounds.

The kinetics of hydrogenation have been analyzed using concepts suitable under slurry reaction conditions. Comparisons between different oxidation states of the same metal and between different metal species have also been made. The recycling efficiencies of the catalysts have been determined and found to be very good. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

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.     

Influence of oxygen on catalytic properties of supported palladium catalysts in CO hydrogenation

It has been established that the addition of oxygen to synthesis gas has a positive effect of the activity and selectivity of supported palladium catalysts in methanol synthesis. The degree of the effect of oxygen depends on the chemical nature of the support and the conditions of catalysis, preceding the addition of oxygen to the reaction mixture. The probable causes for the influence of oxygen on the catalytic properties of palladium, supported on oxide supports, have been discussed.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 25, No. 5, pp. 557–563, September–October, 1989.     

Gas phase hydrogenation of m-xylene on palladium catalysts

Gas phase hydrogenation of m-xylene on palladium supported catalysts was studied and compared with the hydrogenation of o-xylene. The modification in the stereoselectivity of palladium due to an increase in the acidity of the support is explained in terms of an increased residence time of the reactive species on the active surface, leading to a product composition closer to that predicted by thermodynamics.

Liquid-phase hydrogenation of thiophenes on palladium sulfide catalysts

Palladium sulfide catalysts are active for the hydrogenation of thiophenes of different structure in hydrocarbons at 22O-30O‡C and 3.0-9.5 MPa. Thiophenes and benzothiophenes are close in reactivity. An increase in palladium sulfide concentration in the catalyst leads to an increase in the reaction rate per 1 g of the catalyst but has only a slight effect on the specific reaction rate of hydrogenation calculated per 1 g of Pd. The specific activity of palladium sulfide supported on aluminosilicate is one order of magnitude higher than that of PdS without a support and the catalysts supported on the aluminum oxide and carbon. The aluminosilicate-supported catalyst is also more selective.     

Synthesis, crystal structure and hydroformylation activity of triphenylphosphite modified cobalt catalysts

The dinuclear complex [Co(2)(CO)(6)[P(OPh)3]2] (2) has been synthesised and was fully characterised. The solid state structure revealed a trans diaxial geometry, no bridging carbonyls, and Co-Co and Co-P bond lengths of 2.6722(4) and 2.1224(4) Angstrom, respectively. Catalysed hydroformylation of 1-pentene with 2 was attempted at temperatures in the range 120 to 210 degrees C and pressures between 34 and 80 bar. High pressure spectroscopy (HP-IR and HP-NMR) was used to detect hydride intermediates. High pressure infrared (HP-IR) studies revealed the formation of [HCo(CO)(3)P(OPh)3] (4) at ca. 110 degrees C, but at higher temperatures absorption bands corresponding to [HCo(CO)(4)]() were observed. The hydride intermediate 4 has also been synthesised and characterised. Upon increased ligand concentration, HP-IR studies showed the formation of new carbonyl absorption bands due to a higher substituted cobalt carbonyl complex-[HCo(CO)(2)[P(OPh)3]2] (5), which is believed to be catalytically less active. Complex 5 has been synthesised independently and was fully characterised. A low temperature crystal structural study of 5 revealed a trigonal bipyramidal structure with a trans H-Co-CO arrangement and two equatorial phosphite ligands, the Co-P bond lengths being 2.1093(8) and 2.1076(8)[Angstrom], respectively.
