a palladium composite membrane was prepared by electroless plating on oxidized porous stainless steel support (ox-pss). hydrogen permeation flux through this composite membrane was measured in the temperature range of 574-674k and the pressure difference of two sides of membrane up to 90kpa. a simplified resistance model was employed to analyze the permeation behavior of hydrogen through pd/ox-...

Mercaptobenzoic acid-palladium(0) complexes show high catalytic activity for S-benzylation with benzylic alcohols via the (η(3)-benzyl)palladium(II) cation in water. Notably, these palladium(0) complexes could play an important role in formation of active (η(3)-benzyl)palladium(II) cation complexes followed by S-benzylation. Hammett studies on the rate constants of S-benzylation by various subs...

Palladium catalysts have been widely adopted for organic synthesis and diverse industrial applications given their efficacy and safety, yet their biological in vivo use has been limited to date. Here we show that nanoencapsulated palladium is an effective means to target and treat disease through in vivo catalysis. Palladium nanoparticles (Pd-NPs) were created by screening different Pd compound...

Whereas the reaction of norbornadiene with terminal alkynes in presence of a phosphapalladacycle catalyst yields to the formation of hydroalkynation products, the use of phosphinous acid-phosphinito-containing palladium complexes gave rise to formal [2+1] cycloadducts. An experimental and computational approach was employed to study the mechanisms of the palladium-promoted hydroalkynation and [...

In this paper, we discuss a simplified finite element method (FEM) simulation of surface acoustic wave (SAW) delay line hydrogen sensor using COMSOL Multiphysics. A delay line SAW sensor consists of a transmitting interdigital transducer (IDT) and a receiving IDT separated by a few wavelengths. In this paper, the number of degrees of freedom (DOF) to solve for the SAW delay line sensor model is...

Detailed studies have been conducted to determine the activity of palladium catalysts for the amination of five-membered heterocyclic halides and to determine the factors that control the scope of this reaction. Palladium-catalyzed aminations of the electron-rich furanyl, thiophenyl, and indolyl halides and of the related 2-halogenated thiazoles, benzimidazole, and benzoxazole have been shown t...

In typical catalytic organic transformations, transition metals in catalytically active complexes are present in their most stable valence states, such as palladium(0) and (II). However, some dimeric monovalent metal complexes can be stabilized by auxiliary ligands to form diamagnetic compounds with metal-metal bonding interactions. These diamagnetic compounds can act as catalysts while retaini...

Palladium-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of aryl boronic acids has been developed using a protocol similar to the well-documented crosscoupling reaction. -Halocarbonyl compounds are applied to initiate the reaction via oxidative addition to a palladium(0) species. The resulting palladium enolate halide can promote the double transmetallation. Reductive elimination generates the desire homocoup...

Chemical modification techniques are widely used in graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). Palladium is a very effective chemical modifier and can be used to stabilize many elements to several hundred degrees higher than the temperatures possible with current methods [1-9]. Of the elements tested, the greatest temperature shifts are achieved for the semi-metallic elements such...

We report a route to benzosultams that exploits the palladium-catalysed aminsulfonylation of alkenyl iodides as initial step. An (Z)-configured iodide substrate is combined with DABSO, N,N-dialkylhydrazine nucleophile and palladium(0) catalyst achieve aminsulfonylation. A second palladium(0)-catalysed transformation, this time intramolecular, leads benzosultam formation. Good variation starting...
