Carbonylation reactions encompass a diverse set of transformations used to synthesise many important high-value fine chemicals, synthetic intermediates and materials such as polycarbonates [36]. Palladium catalysts modified with PRj ligands facilitate these reactions. However, carbonylation often requires harsh conditions, especially for less reactive C-X bonds, thereby promoting catalyst degradation via P-C bond cleavage. The strength of the NHC bond may demonstrate the utility of... 

Using palladium-magnesium nitrate mixtures as chemical modifiers, Hinds and Jackson [114] effectively delayed the atomisation of lead until atomic absorption spectrometer furnace conditions were nearly isothermal. This technique was used to determine lead in soil slurries. Zhang et al. [115] investigated the application of low-pressure electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry to the determination of lead in soils. 

Starch is an abundant, inexpensive polysaccharide that is readily available from staple crops such as com or maize and is thus is mostly important as food. Industrially, starch is also widely used in papermaking, the production of adhesives or as additives in plastics. For a number of these applications, it is desirable to chemically modify the starch to increase its hydrophobicity. Starch modification can thus prevent retrodegradation improve gel texture, clarity and sheen improve film formation and stabilize emulsions [108], This may, for example, be achieved by partial acetylation, alkyl siliconation or esterification however, these methods typically require environmentally unfriendly stoichiometric reagents and produce waste. Catalytic modification, such as the palladium-catalyzed telomerization (Scheme 18), of starch may provide a green atom-efficient way for creating chemically modified starches. The physicochemical properties of thus modified starches are discussed by Bouquillon et al. [22]. 

Depending on the chemical structure of the anchor and chemistry of its attachment to the resin, the product can be cleaved at the end of the synthesis either with acid, base or nucleophilic cleavage reagents, hydrogenolysis, enzymatic, palladium-catalyzed or photochemical, oxidative and reductive cleavage methods. In addition, the safety-catch anchors can be chemically modified at the end of the synthesis to provide a structure which is subsequently cleavable. 

Similarly, chemically modified silica-supported palladium catalysts are useful in the phenylation of acid chlorides using sodium tetraphenylborate.158...

The determination of cadmium in urine, although more complicated because of the higher volatility of this element and its lower concentration, was demonstrated to give accurate results even at normal levels [26]. The STPF concept and Zeeman effect background correction were shown to be mandatory for that type of analysis and palladium was superior to other chemical modifiers. Significantly different levels of cadium were found in the urine of smokers and nonsmokers. 

A significant effort was necessary to obtain accurate results for selenium in blood, plasma, and erythrocytes [27]. Iron causes a spectral interference at the selenium line at 196 nm if a continuum source background corrector is used, causing erroneous results particularly in blood and erythrocytes. Zeeman effect background correction is therefore mandatory for the determination of selenium in clinical samples. In addition, some of the previously recommended chemical modifiers were found to stabilize the different selenium species differently, so that some of them may be lost in the pyrolysis stage. A mixture of palladium and magnesium nitrates was found to solve the problem and prevent any preatomization losses [28].

When specifically labelled compounds are required, direct chemical synthesis may be necessary. The standard techniques of preparative chemistry are used, suitably modified for small-scale work with radioactive materials. The starting material is tritium gas which can be obtained at greater than 98% isotopic abundance. Tritiated water can be made either by catalytic oxidation over palladium or by reduction of a metal oxide ... 

The removal of carbobenzyloxy (Cbz or Z) groups from amines or alcohols is of high interest in the fine chemicals, agricultural and pharmaceutical industry. Palladium on activated carbon is the catalyst of choice for these deprotection reactions. Nitrogen containing modifiers are known to influence the selectivity for certain deprotection reactions. In this paper we show the rate accelerating effect of certain N-containing modifiers on the deprotection of carbobenzyloxy protected amino acids in the presence of palladium on activated carbon catalysts. The experiments show that certain modifiers like pyridine and ethylenediamine increase the reaction rate and therefore shorten the reaction times compared to non-modified palladium catalysts. Triethylamine does not have an influence on the rate of deprotection. 

Using quantum chemical molecular modelling tools we have examined the reaction mechanism of palladium catalyzed hydrosilylation of styrene by the precatalyst system, 1, developed by Togni and co-workers. One fundamental question that we have focused on is whether the reaction proceeds by the classical Chalk-Harrod mechanism or by an alternative mechanism such as the modified-Chalk-Harrod mechanism. In this section, the general features of the catalytic cycle are examined. 

Metal ion modified polyimide films have been prepared to obtain materials having mechanical, electrical, optical, adhesive, and surface chemical properties different from nonmodified polyimide films. For example, the tensile modulus of metal ion modified polyimide films was increased (both at room temperature and 200 0 whereas elongation was reduced compared with the nonmodif ied polyimide (i). Although certain polyimides are )cnown to be excellent adhesives 2) lap shear strength (between titanium adherends) at elevated temperature (275 0 was increased by incorporation of tris(acetylacetonato)aluminum(III) (2). Highly conductive, reflective polyimide films containing a palladium metal surface were prepared and characterized ( ). The thermal stability of these films was reduced about 200 C, but they were useful as novel metal-filled electrodes ( ). 

An aluminum electrode modified by a chemically deposited palladium pen-tacyanonitrosylferrate film was reported in [33]. Vitreous carbon electrode modified with cobalt phthalocyanine was used in [34]. Electrocatalytic activity of nanos-tructured polymeric tetraruthenated porphyrin film was studied in [35]. Codeposition of Pt nanoparticles and Fe(III) species on glassy-carbon electrode resulted in significant catalytic activity in nitrite oxidation [36]. It was shown that the pho-tocatalytic oxidation at a Ti02/Ti film electrode can be electrochemically promoted [37]. 

Research is currently directed toward development of novel technologies that may present economic advantages with respect to the conventional acetone cyanohydrin lACHl route. Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co. has developed and patented n modified acetone cyanohydrin-based route that docs not use sulfuric acid and therefore presents the opportunity lor reduced waste costs. A nuvel C-3 route based on the palladium-catalyzed carbonylaiion of methylatelylenc has been developed by Shell Oil Co. There have been significant improvements in catalysts and resulting yields for key transformations in many routes since the 19K(K... 

Leitner et al. have synthesized the PEG-modified silica stabilized and immobilized palladium nanoparticles for aerobic alcohol oxidation in combination with scC02 as reaction medium under mild conditions, which show high activity and excellent stability under continuous-flow operation [68], ScC02 could diffuse the substrates and products from the active nanoparticles in a gas-like manner. This allows rapid chemical transformation at the active center, ensures efficient removal of the products from the surface, and minimizes the mobility of solid-supported catalytically active species [69]. In this way, catalysts based on palladium nanoparticles together with PEG as stabilizing matrix could avoid aggregating and forming less active and selective Pd-black [20, 60, 70]. 

Ceramic and semiconductor thin films have been prepared by a number of methods including chemical vapor deposition (CVD), spray-coating, and sol-gel techniques. In the present work, the sol-gel method was chosen to prepare uniform, thin films of titanium oxides on palladium Titanium oxide was chosen because of its versatility as a support material and also because the sol-gel synthesis of titania films has been clearly described by Takahashi and co-workers (22). The procedure utilized herein follows the work of Takahashi, but is modified to take advantage of the hydrogen permeability of the palladium substrate. Our objective was to develop a reliable procedure for the fabrication of thin titania films on palladium, and then to evaluate the performance of the resulting metalloceramic membranes for hydrogen transport and ethylene hydrogenation for comparison to the pure palladium membrane results. 

Heterogeneous catalysts modified by the addition of chiral substances have been used to hydrogenate olefins asymmetrically, but only a few effective chiral heterogeneous catalyst systems have been found. Palladium deposited on silk fibroin was used to hydrogenate 4-benzylidene-2-methyl-5-oxazolone asymmetrically to give, after hydrolysis, optically active phenylalanine (Fig. lc). The optical purity1 of the product was found to be dependent on the origin of the fibroin and its chemical pretreatment (4-6).
