Pd metal

Well, I thought previosly a bit of acetic acid can help reaction to prevent decomposition of catalyst. Now I m thinking after re-read JOC article 1425 times, acetic acid is not needed at all, because if catalyst degrades to Pd metal, is not more dissolved, so why add acetic acid My last test with 10 cc of safrol had 0 4 cc of acetic acid, but I ll omit it in next rxn. 

However, in the reaction of 1-alkenylboranes with aryl- or 1-alkenyi iodides. 2-aryl-l-alkenes 648 are obtained as the main products. When Pd metal produced from Pd(OAc)2 as a catalyst and EtjN as a weak bu.se are u.sed. abnormal products are formed. On the other hand, normal products 649 are obtained by using NaOH[5l7]. 

The catalyst is prepared by suspending 5 kg of catalyst grade charcoal in 200 liters of water, in a pressure vessei, and adding thereto 25 liters of 4% (as Pd metal) aqueous palladous chloride. Air is displaced from the vessel and then hydrogen is passed into the aqueous mixture at a pressure of 3 to 5 psi, while stirring, until no further absorption is noted and the chloride is completely reduced to metal. 

In the course of the reaction, the Pd " ions are reduced to Pd metal, and ethylene is oxidized to acetaldehyde ... 

Ph3P)4Pd and certain Pd(II) complexes in the presence of an excess of a tertiary phosphine also function as active catalysts (128). This indicates that palladium species may have potential provided they are protected from destructive reduction by the choice of suitable ligands. A complex species [(Ph3P)2Pd]jf gradually forms in the PhjP—Pd metal mixture ( 28). 

Pd metals immobilized on SBA-15 and NaY were applied as catalysts in the synthesis of amino alcohol. These catalysts afford a high level of enantioselectivity in the asymmetric hydrogenation of a-keto alcohol to corresponding amino alcohol. The large peilladium metal exhibited higher catalytic activity and enantioselectivity than well dispersed one over porous supports in the hydrogenation.

The structure I might form a five-membered cyclic structure on Pd metal and then the structure would be adsorbed at the less bulky side of the molecule. On the other hand, structure II might not form such a cyclic structure because of the steric hindrance. The difference in the ease of formation of the cyclic complex between structure I and II might be an important factor why structure I is a major conformation in the reaction. It is assumed that the adsorpted state of reactants as structure I or II may be influenced by the reaction conditions such as the Pd metal size, resulting in the different enantioselectivity. 

C15-0092. The addition of molecular hydrogen to ethylene is extremely slow unless Pd metal is present. In the presence of the metal, however, H2 is adsorbed on the metal surface as H atoms, which then add to C2 H4 when it strikes the surface ... 

Cu(rr) compounds are frequently used in conjunction with Pd(I[) in the oxidation of olefins in the Wacker process. Their role has been viewed as that of catalyst for autoxidation of Pd metal back to Pd(II). Dozono and Shiba report the rate of oxidation of ethylene by a PdCl2-CuCl2 couple to be given by... 

No hydride forms for very small particles. Yet when catalysts with such a small metal particle size are stored in air, they are converted to (crystalline) PdO. Reduction of this oxide with hydrogen produces Pd metal, not hydride. 

Recently characterization of bimetallic nanoparticles by EXAFS were extensively reported [122-124,176], Structural transformation of bimetallic Pd/Pt nanoparticles, which were prepared by a sequential loading of H2PtClg onto the Pd loaded catalyst, was investigated with EXAFS at high temperatures [176], The results of EXAFS at Pd K and Pt L-III edges showed that Pt was surface-enriched or anchored on the Pd metal core with an increase of the Pt content. The structure of the obtained bimetallic Pd/Pt nanoparticles seemed to be retained upon heating up to 1273 K under ambient condition [176], Pt/ Au bimetallic nanoparticles can be prepared by polyol method and stabilized by PVP [122], XANES and EXAFS studies were also performed on the samples and their results supported the idea of a Pt-core/Au-shell structure with the elements segregated from each other [122],... 

Palladium clusters deposited on amorphous carbon have been studied by XPS and UPS [28] and both techniques show broadening of the d-band peak as cluster size increases. The d-threshold shifts towards Ep as cluster size increases. In UPS studies the d-emission of the single atom has its peak at 3.0 eV below Ep, whereas the d-threshold is 2eV below Ep. Palladium clusters evaporated onto Si02 have been studied by UPS [38]. At large coverages of the Pd metal evaporated (> 10 atoms/cm ), a high emission intensity at Ep excited with photons of 21.2 eV (He(I)) or 40.8 eV (He(II)) as excitation source, is observed. This feature is characteristic in the spectra from bulk Pd samples. At the lowest metal coverage (3 x 10 atoms/cm ),... 

In the chemical preparation of unprotected metal colloids, the metal concentration usually has a significant influence on the particle size of obtained metal nanoclusters. For example, when increasing Pd concentration from 0.1 to 1.0 mM in the preparation of Pd metal colloids by the thermal decomposition of Pd acetate in methyl isobutyl ketone, the average Pd particle size increased from 8 to 140nm [6,7]. However, in the alkaline EG synthesis method, the size of metal nanoclusters was only slightly dependent on the metal concentration of the colloidal solution. The colloidal Pt particles prepared with a metal concentration of 3.7 g/1 had an average diameter of... 

Studies on heterogeneous Pd metal catalysts for the arylation of alkenes with aryl halides (the Mirozoki-Heck reaction often reported as Heck reaction) [28] continue to... 

Low Pd concentrations are beneficial in preventing precipitation of inactive Pd metal.144 Small Pd clusters can be observed in phosphine-free systems,145 and these particles may serve as catalysts or, alternatively, as reservoirs of Pd for formation of soluble reactive species.

Gomez-Sainero et al. (11) reported X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results on their Pd/C catalysts prepared by an incipient wetness method. XPS showed that Pd° (metallic) and Pdn+ (electron-deficient) species are present on the catalyst surface and the properties depend on the reduction temperature and nature of the palladium precursor. With this understanding of the dual sites nature of Pd, it is believed that organic species S and A are chemisorbed on to Pdn+ (SI) and H2 is chemisorbed dissociatively on to Pd°(S2) in a noncompetitive manner. In the catalytic cycle, quasi-equilibrium ( ) was assumed for adsorption of reactants, SM and hydrogen in liquid phase and the product A (12). Applying Horiuti s concept of rate determining step (13,14), the surface reaction between the adsorbed SM on site SI and adsorbed hydrogen on S2 is the key step in the rate equation. 

Transfer hydrogenolysis of benzyl acetate was studied on Pd/C at room temperature using different formate salts.244 Hydrogen-donating abilities were found to depend on the counterion K+ > NH4 + > Na+ > Li+ > H+. Formate ion is the active species in this reaction. Adsorption of the formate ion on the Pd metal surface leads to dissociative chemisorption resulting in the formation of PdH- and C02. The kinetic isotope effect proves that the dissociative chemisorption of formate is the rate-limiting step. The adsorption and the surface reaction of benzyl acetate occurs very rapidly.

In the absence of an oxidation agent, the reaction is derived to monoalkoxy-carbonylation provided the Pd metal center is stabilized by surrounding ligands. This strategy, first illustrated in 1976 by Knifton with the complex [PdCl2(PPh3)2], has been extensively developed since then [55,56]. Various terminal aliphatic alkenes are converted into the corresponding mono esters...
