Palladium thermal decomposition

Ruthenium is a hard, white metal and has four crystal modifications. It does not tarnish at room temperatures, but oxidizes explosively. It is attacked by halogens, hydroxides, etc. Ruthenium can be plated by electrodeposition or by thermal decomposition methods. The metal is one of the most effective hardeners for platinum and palladium, and is alloyed with these metals to make electrical contacts for severe wear resistance. A ruthenium-molybdenum alloy is said to be... 

The largest uses of platinum group metals in electronics are ruthenium for resistors and palladium for multilayer capacitors, both applied by thick film techniques . Most anodes for brine electrolysis are coated with mixed ruthenium and titanium oxide by thermal decomposition . Chemical vapour deposition of ruthenium was patented for use on cutting tools . 

Following the synthesis of the first methyl-palladium NHC complexes it was subsequently found that the complexes undergo a facile thermal decomposition process in which the NHC is lost as 2-methylimidazolium salt and the Pd is rednced to Pd(0) (Scheme 13.1) [15-17]. In ensuing studies investigating the reaction behavionr of a range of hydrocarbyl Pd and Ni carbene complexes, it was found that the decomposition reaction is ubiquitous. It occurs with varying ease, for mono-NHC, bis-NHC and donor functionalised-NHC complexes [16-23]. 

Thermal decomposition of palladium acetate, either by laser irradiation or conventional means, leads to complete volatilization of the organic components. The purity of the ion beam-irradiated samples is significantly improved by heating the samples in hydrogen at 300 °C after removal of unirradiated palladium acetate. 

Thermal decomposition of metal acetates in the presence of PVP was proposed by Bradley et al. (30), where the preparative procedure of Esumi et al. (31) was modified. Thus, heating of palladium and copper acetates in a solvent with a high boiling point (ethoxyethanol) provides PVP-stabilized Pd/Cu bimetallic nanoparticles. In this method, not only thermal decomposition but also reduction by ethoxyethanol could be involved. However, the Bradley method can provide Cu/Pd bimetallic nanoparticles that contain less than 50 mol% of Cu, while our method mentioned earlier can provide fine particles with 80 mol% of Cu. In Esumi s original procedure, methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK) was used as a solvent without a stabilizer. In his method, Cu" was not completely reduced to Cu°, but Cu20 was involved in the bimetallic nanoparticles. Probably, thanks to Cu1 species in the surface of the particles, no stabilizer is necessary for the stable dispersion. 

The anionic palladium(IV) species (NPr4)[PdCl5(SMe2)] has been prepared by chlorine oxidation of the corresponding palladium(II) species. It undergoes facile decomposition at room temperature like the phosphine analogue.346 The neutral compound h-ans-[PdCU(SMe2)2] could not be characterized, however, because of thermal decomposition.

The reactivity of palladium and copper cluster models toward diazirine has been compared using the LCGTO-MCP-LSD method <1996SUS11> such calculations were performed to give an insight into the differential bond scission experimentally observed in the thermal decomposition of diazirine on palladium and copper surfaces. Stronger chemisorption was evident with palladium and furthermore, partial diazirine lowest-unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) occupation only occurred for the copper cluster model systems. The calculated N-N bond order was significantly decreased in the copper complexes of excited state diazirines, whereas palladium complexes remained unperturbed. 

The palladium catalyst supported on aluminosilicate is prepared by exchanging the surface protons of aluminosilicate with palladium-ammine complex cations, followed by washing with water, thermal decomposition, and reduction with hydrogen. This reduction easily transforms the exchanged palladiumammine complex cations into metallic palladium particles which are fine spheres and homogeneously dispersed through a cloud of the fine particles of aluminosilicate. 

Palladium is one of the most versatile and efficient catalyst metals in organic synthesis. Solubility in water is achieved by utilization of simple palladium(II) salts or water-soluble ligands, such as TPPTS and TPPMS. The active catalysts for Heck-type reactions are zerovalent palladium(O) species [3], which are often generated in situ by thermal decomposition of a Pd(II) precursor or by the application of a reducing agent, e.g., 1-6 equiv. of a phosphine in the presence of base generates Pd(0) and the phosphine oxide (Eq. 3) [4],... 

Studies on endoperoxide analogues of prostaglandins continue,and the paths that are followed on decomposition of bicyclic peroxides such as (132) in the presence of palladium(O) and ruthenium(ll) have been investigated, as has the breakdown of (133) in the presence of PPha. The thermal decomposition of (134) leads to (135) when = Me but gives...
