Kotschy et al. also reported a palladium/charcoal-catalyzed Sono-gashira reaction in aqueous media. In the presence of Pd/C, Cul, PPI13, and z -Pr2NH base, terminal alkynes smoothly reacted with aryl bromides or chlorides, such as 2-pyridyl chloride, 4-methylphenyl bromide, and so on, to give the expected alkyne products in dimethyl-acetamide (DMA)-H20 solvent. Wang et al. reported an efficient cross-coupling of terminal alkynes with aromatic iodides or bromides in the presence of palladium/charcoal, potassium fluoride, cuprous iodide, and triph-enylphosphine in aqueous media (THF/H20, v/v, 3/1) at 60°C.35 The palladium powder is easily recovered and is effective for six consecutive runs with no significant loss of catalytic activity. 

Some early examples involving microwave-assisted solvent-free Sonogashira couplings using palladium powder doped on alumina/potassium fluoride as catalyst were described by Kabalka and coworkers (Scheme 4.4) [150], In addition, this novel catalytic system has been used in microwave-assisted solvent-free Sonogashira coupling-cyclization of ortho-iodophenol with terminal alkynes, and similarly of ortho-ethynylphenols with aromatic iodides, to generate 2-substituted benzo[b]furans...

Palladium(V) and palladium(III) complexes have also been reported. Two complexes of palladium(V) have been isolated (02)[PdF6] and Na[PdF6]. These were formed by the oxidation of PdF4 in HF with KrF2 in the presence of 02 and NaF respectively.3 The dioxygenyl salt may also be prepared by the reaction of palladium powder with an F2/02 mixture at 320 °C and 60 000 psi. The Raman spectrum of [PdF6] is comparable with other MF6 ions, showing bands for Vi, v2 and v3 at 643, 570 and 268 cm-1. 

A similar reaction was reported by Kabalka et al. where ligandless and solvent-free Suzuki couplings were performed with potassium fluoride on alumina. This reaction is very interesting as the catalyst used was palladium powder, the least expensive form of palladium available32. The authors demonstrated the simplicity of the procedure by efficient isolation of the biaryl products via a simple filtration. This could be done as the palladium catalyst remains adsorbed on the alumina surface. A small amount of water in the matrix was beneficial for the outcome of the reactions. Recycling of the catalyst was possible by adding fresh potassium fluoride to the palladium/alumina surface and the catalytic system remained effective at least through six reaction cycles (Scheme 2.6).

Silver/Palladium powders 600 and 700 Series - chemically co-precipitated spherical powders... 

Silver-palladium powders which are now used in conductive products are of two different types. One type is co-precipitated powders, wherein silver and palladium are both precipitated from solution to form a powder in which the two metals are intimately associated but do not form a true alloy. Another, more expensive filler, involves first forming a true silver-palladium alloy, and then pulverizing this to a fine powder. 

According to an INS study of the P- and a-palladium hydride phases formed during absorption and desorption of hydrogen on palladium foil, coarse palladium powder and finely divided palladium [33], the retention of hydrogen by bulk palladium materials depended on their mechanieal pre-treatment rather than their morphology the powdered materials retained more hydrogen than palladium foil under comparable conditions. This finding is explained by the presence of trap sites, more for the powders than for the foil. This paper contains a useful summary of INS studies of the H/Pd system which is reproduced here. Table 7.3. [34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49]. 

The thick-film design consists of four layers, to be separately screen printed and fired on a 1 in square alumina substrate (figure 14.9). Commercial formulations were used for electrodes, bridge trimming resistors, and passivation layers. The first attempted sensor layer was a commercial silver/palladium paste modified by the addition of palladium powder. Based on the performance of the first thick-film sensors, DuPont Electronics (Research Triangle Park, NC) specifically formulated a palladium-based thick-film paste for this application. 

Textural properties of the Pd/Zr02 catalysts prepared by oxidation of the glassy alloy (PdZr-i, PdZr-a) and by coprecipitation (PdZr-c). Pd-p denotes the pure palladium powder reference. 

The activation energy detennined for CO oxidation over the palladium powder is comparable to that reported for palladium wires, which is in the range of 101 kJ mol l [9] to 125 kJ mol l [10], The oxidation of CO over palladium was shown to be struchore-insensitive [11,12], The comparative catalytic studies presented here indicate that the interfacial contact of the palladium particles with the zirconia exhibits a strong influence on the catalytic behaviour of the palladium phase. Note that pure zirconia showed no activity for CO oxidation at the conditions used in this work. 

PdZr-c showed significantly lower carbon incorporation under the same experimental conditions, whereas no CO disproportionation and carbon incorporation could be observed with the palladium powder below 400°C. Thus the intimate interaction of palladium and zirconia seems to be crucial for the high CO disproportionation activity observed with the catalysts derived from the glassy alloy. 

A few interesting papers have appeared with ligandless and solvent-free Suzuki-Miyaura reactions using cheap palladium powder and potassium fluoride on alumina. The catalysts have been recycled and used through several reaction cycles and the products were collected by a simple filtration, adding to the preparative ease of the method [35]. Potassium fluoride on alumina has also been used in the solvent-free synthesis of unsymmetrical ketones, with good results [36, 37]. 

Gedanken and coworkers [194] exploited power ultrasound to generate in situ amorphous-carbon-activated palladium metallic clusters that proved to be a catalyst for Mizoroki-Heck reactions (without phosphine ligands) of bromobenzene and styrene (yield to an appreciable extent of 30%). The catalyst is stable in most organic solvents, without showing any palladium powder segregation, even after heating them to 400 °C. 

In one experiment, cyclohexene was treated with hydrogen gas in ethanol in the presence of a lump of palladium. In a second experiment, everything was kept the same except that palladium powder was used. Briefly explain what differences in reactivity are expected between these two experiments and why there are differences. 

Other metal powders, such as palladium and platinum may be added to conductor compositions to improve the properties of the conductor. The palladium powder, in the form of spherical-shaped particles of 0.1-10 pm in diameter is desired.
