Electrode kinetics and thermodynamic study of complexes of palladium(II) at D.M.E.

Polarographic study of Pd(II) reveals that it reduces quasireversibly at d.m.e. in 0.2M-pyridine+0.1N-HCl medium. Kinetic parameters of Pd(II) in various concentrations of -resorcyclic acid were calculated usingGellings method and thus the effect of concentration of -resorcyclic acid on the kinetics of the reduction of Pd(II) has been explained.DeFord/Hume graphical extrapolation method and the mathematical method ofMihailov have been employed for the evaluation of overall formation constants of the complexes formed with -resorcyclic acid. The logarithmic values of overall formation constants ₁, ₂ and ₃ obtained by the two methods are 7.47, 8.60, 9.66 (DeFord andHume Method) and 7.44, 8.64, 9.66 (Mihailov Method) at 298 K. Thermodynamic parameters of these complexes are reported.

Effect of H2S-uptake on the conversion of cyclohexene on Ru- and Pd-promoted molybdena-alumina catalysts

The effect of H₂S on the activity and selectivity of catalysts (Ru/Al₂O₃, Pd/Al₂O₃ and Ru and Pd promoted molydena-alumina) was different (on differnt catalysts and different conversions of cyclohexene). Ru-containing catalysts showed higher sulfur sensitivities than the Pd-containing ones. The sequence of catalysts by their H₂S uptake related to mass of catalyst was PdMo/Al₂O₃RuMo/Al₂O₃Mo/Al₂O₃>Pd/Al₂O₃Ru/Al₂O₃.     

Phenomenological aspects related to the electrochemical behaviour of smooth palladium electrodes in alkaline solutions

The voltammetric behaviour of smooth palladium electrodes in 1 M NaOH is studied in the potential range related to the thermodynamic stability of water. The electrosorption of H atoms on bulk Pd appears as a reversible reaction coupled to a diffusion process which occurs within bulk Pd. The voltammetric electrodesorption of H from bulk Pd is a process under mixed control, i.e. the diffusion from the bulk and the surface oxidation of H atoms. Fast pseudocapacitive reactions are detected in the range 0.2–0.4 V associated with the adsorption of H atoms at the submonolayer level. The initial stages of Pd oxide layer formation, at ca. 0.68 V, involves two reversible stages. The Pd oxide monolayer formation is achieved at 1.25 V/RHE and is followed by the formation of a third reversible system. This system is enhanced by an excursion in the potential range of the oxygen evolution reaction. This reversible system is probably a redox system involving Pd(II)/Pd(IV) species. The voltammetric electroreduction of the Pd oxide film shows rather irreversible behaviour. Inhibition effects on the reversible adsorption of H atoms due to residual oxide species were observed as well as inhibition on loading the Pd electrode with hydrogen to form the (α + β)-PdH phase. Rotating ring-disc experiments demonstrate that Pd electrodissolution in basic solutions is much smaller than in acid solutions. However, soluble palladium species are detected, especially during the formation of the fast redox systems, in the potential range related to Pd oxide layer growth.     

N-Heterocyclic carbene-palladium complex on polystyrene resin surface as polymer-supported catalyst and its application in Suzuki cross-coupling reaction

A poly(imidazoliummethyl styrene)-surface grafted-polystyrene resin was prepared by suspension polymerization. This was used as the polymer-supported carbene precursor for the palladium complex, which efficiently catalyzed the Suzuki cross-coupling of aryl halides and phenylboronic acid.     

Oxygen Atom Adsorption and Diffusion on Pd Low-index Surfaces and （311） Stepped Surface

Introduction Atom adsorption on transition metal surfaces has attracted special attention as a base for understanding the fundamental processes of oxidative catalysis. Particularly interesting is the adsorption and diffusion of oxygen on well-defined metal surfaces. An oxygen covered palladium surface, for example, plays a central role in several important reactions such as oxidation of carbon monoxide and ammonia. In particular, the (100), (111), (110) surfaces and the interactions with oxyge…     

High-intensity ultrasound and microwave, alone or combined, promote Pd/C-catalyzed aryl-aryl couplings

Pd-catalyzed homo- and cross-couplings of boronic acids and aryl halides were successfully carried out both in aqueous media under high-intensity ultrasound (US) and in DME under microwave (MW). Heterogeneous catalysis with Pd/C was employed, avoiding phosphine ligands and phase-transfer catalysts. In a trial series involving 15 different iodo- and bromoaryls and 7 boronic acids, both energy sources drastically reduced reaction times affording biaryls in acceptable to good yields. With palladium(II) acetate as catalyst, electron-deficient aryl chlorides also reacted, affording a few biaryls in acceptable yields. Ullmann-type zinc-mediated homocoupling of iodo- and bromoaryls in the presence of Pd/C under CO₂ atmosphere was achieved in aqueous media under US, though not under MW. Suzuki homo- and cross-couplings were also carried out in a new reactor developed in our laboratory, featuring combined US and MW irradiation, further improving a green synthetic method.
