A series of bulky geometry-constrained iminopyridylpalladium chlorides were developed. The steric environment adjacent to the nitrogen atom in the pyridine rings and diimine parts enhanced the thermal stability of the palladium species. Bulkier groups at the imino group stabilized the palladium species and the corresponding palladium chlorides showed high activities in the coupling reaction of ...

an efficient synthetic method for successful synthesis of amine denderon on sba-15 and related pd (ii) complex has been developed. this modified mesoporous material was characterized by various techniques such as tem, xrd, atomic absorption spectroscopy, n2 adsorption-desorption, and ft-ir. the catalytic activities of the prepared catalysts were investigated by employing aerobic oxidation of al...

Amphiphilic pincer palladium complexes bearing hydrophilic and hydrophobic side chains on the planar NCN palladium pincer backbone were designed and prepared via the ligand introduction route. The complexes self-assembled under aqueous conditions to form vesicles with bilayer membranes containing palladium species. The catalytic activity of the vesicles in the Miyaura-Michael reaction in water ...

A near-infrared chemosensor for palladium based on the Tsuji-Trost reaction was developed. It displayed specific and ratiometric fluorescent responses toward palladium with a distinct color change from green to blue in aqueous media. PEG400 was employed as the reducing agent and palladium ligand instead of water-insoluble triphenylphosphine. The chemosensor's bioimaging potential was demonstrat...

Experiments using China Lake type calorimetric cells produced excess power in three out of three experiments and no excess power in three control studies. A detailed analysis is presented for two experiments using the China Lake cells. Anomalous thermistor signals in Cell A suggest the emission of electromagnetic radiation from the active palladium cathode. Experiments in Fleischmann-Pons type ...

RNA sequences have been discovered that mediate the growth of hexagonal palladium nanoparticles. In vitro selection techniques were used to evolve an initial library of approximately 10(14) unique RNA sequences through eight cycles of selection to yield several active sequence families. Of the five families, all representative members could form crystalline hexagonal palladium platelets. The pa...

With the increasing importance of “ heavy water” as a moderator in nuclear reactors there arises a pressing need for a more efficient method of separating hydrogen isotopes. In a report by 0. N. Salmon to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC Research and Development Report KAPL 1272) a process is described which aims to improve the method of separation by the electrolysis of water. This proce...

A highly selective ratiometric fluorescent chemodosimeter derived from 4-hydroxynaphthalimide was designed and synthesized to image palladium species in living cells by virtue of a palladium-catalyzed depropargylation reaction, and it could monitor three typical palladium species (0, + 2 and + 4) without additional reagents.

[reaction: see text] A novel palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction between two Csp(3)-Csp(3) centers has been investigated. This protocol is initiated by the oxidative addition of an alpha-halo carbonyl compound to a palladium(0) species, followed by the double transmetalation. The key dialkyl palladium intermediate undergoes reductive elimination to form the desired coupling product.
