Abstract Complexation of palladium(II) acetate [Pd(OAc)2] or dipotassium tetrachloropalladate [K2PdCl4] to "click" polymers functionalized with phenyl, ferrocenyl and sodium sulfonate groups gave polymeric palladium(II)-triazolyl complexes that were reduced to "click" polymer-stabilized palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that reduction using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) produced PdNPs in the 1,3,nm range of diameters depending on the nature of the functional group, whereas slow reduction using methanol yielded PdNPs in the 22,25,nm range. The most active of these PdNPs (0.01% mol Pd), stabilized by poly(ferrocenyltriazolylmethyl)styrene, catalyzed the hydrogenation of styrene at 25,°C and 1 atm hydrogen, with turnover numbers (TONs) of 200,000. When stabilized by the water-soluble poly(sodium sulfonate-triazolylmethyl)styrene, the PdNPs (0.01% mol Pd) catalyze the Suzuki,Miyaura coupling between iodobenzene (PhI) and phenylboronic acid [PhB(OH)2] in water/ethanol (H2O/EtOH) at 25,°C with TONs of 8,200. This high catalytic activity is comparable to that obtained with "click" dendrimer-stabilized PdNPs under ambient conditions. [source]

Efficient Heterogeneous Dual Catalyst Systems for Alkane Metathesis

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 1 2010

Abstract A fully heterogeneous and highly efficient dual catalyst system for alkane metathesis (AM) has been developed. The system is comprised of an alumina-supported iridium pincer catalyst for alkane dehydrogenation/olefin hydrogenation and a second heterogeneous olefin metathesis catalyst. The iridium catalysts bear basic functional groups on the aromatic backbone of the pincer ligand and are strongly adsorbed on Lewis acid sites on alumina. The heterogeneous systems exhibit higher lifetimes and productivities relative to the corresponding homogeneous systems as catalyst/catalyst interactions and bimolecular decomposition reactions are inhibited. Additionally, using a "two-pot" device, the supported Ir catalysts and metathesis catalysts can be physically separated and run at different temperatures. This system with isolated catalysts shows very high turnover numbers and is selective for the formation of high molecular weight alkanes. [source]
