An efficient amide synthesis by atmospheric pressure aminocarbonylation using palladium nanoparticles supported on MOF-5 is reported. Interestingly, only 0.5 wt% palladium loading was required to achieve high yields. The catalyst is recyclable and offers negligible palladium leaching.

Molecular oxygen can replace sacrificial olefins as the hydrogen acceptor in the palladium trifluoroacetate catalyzed dehydrogenation of cyclohexene and related cyclic olefins into aromatics. One of the major drawbacks of the homogeneous system is the tendency of the palladium trifluoroacetate to precipitate as palladium(0) at elevated temperatures. The use of better ligands affords catalysts t...

A colorimetric and fluorescent dual probe for palladium species was rationally developed by combining the resorufin fluorophore with allyl chloroformate. The probe enables the visual detection of palladium based on its vivid color change from pale yellow to pink and its fluorescence off-on response to palladium in PBS solution. The detection limit was calculated to be as low as 2.1 nM. The live...

Palladium is frequently used in dental materials, and sometimes causes metal allergy. It has been suggested that the immune response by palladium-specific T cells may be responsible for the pathogenesis of delayed-type hypersensitivity in study of palladium allergic model mice. In the clinical setting, glucocorticoids and antihistamine drugs are commonly used for treatment of contact dermatitis...

Palladium is an element of PGM group that has significant physical properties. This leads to more attention to this metal. Due to vast applications of palladium in industry and its usage in jewelry, its price plays an important role in economic. Therefore, forecasting its price is crucial subject in economic and engineering design. This paper proposes the model GM(1,1) to predict the Palladium ...

A new NIR fluorescent probe, NIR-Pd, for palladium species was designed and synthesized, based on a HD NIR fluorophore and deprotection of aryl propargyl ethers by palladium. The probe NIR-Pd displayed either a large NIR fluorescence turn-on or ratiometric response to palladium with high sensitivity and selectivity. Additionally, the novel NIR probe can monitor palladium species in live HeLa ce...

2-Dodecylthiomethylpyridine (DTP) was newly synthesized to study its extraction properties for precious metals. DTP was a selective extractant for palladium(II) and gold(III) over base metals. The loading test for palladium(II) showed that one palladium ion reacted with one molecule of DTP. The extraction rate of palladium with DTP was measured using a Lewis-type transfer cell at 303 K. The ext...

We report the environmental benign route in the synthesis of palladium nanoparticles using the aqueous leaf broth of Acalypha indica L. In this protocol, the biomolecules present in the leaf broth, reduced palladium ions into palladium nanoparticles and these biomolecules also acted as capping and stabilizing agents. The colour change in the reaction medium from pale yellow to dark brown during...

Highlights are presented of recent results obtained on deuterium and hydrogen loading of palladium both in electrolytes and in the gas phase. Reproducible tritium generation has been found on palladium cathodes with deuterium loadings approaching one deuterium atom per palladium atom. Tritium generation has been observed on four out of four such highly loaded cathodes. No tritium has been obser...
