Design and Synthesis of Polycyclic Imidazole‐Containing N‐ Heterocycles based on C?H Activation/Cyclization Reactions

A new strategy for the synthesis of polycyclic imidazole‐containing N‐heterocycles, based on the two general synthetic ways, namely the Pd(II)‐catalyzed intramolecular arylation via CH/C Hal and CH/CH coupling reactions, was developed. The method proposed here enables the synthesis of many fused N‐heterocycles containing purine, 1‐deazapurines and benzimidazole structural units.     

Palladium‐Catalyzed,Chelation‐Assisted Stereo‐ and Regioselective Synthesis of Tetrasubstituted Olefins by Oxidative Heck Arylation

An efficient synthesis of tetrasubstituted olefins was achieved via a palladium‐catalyzed, chelation‐assisted oxidative Heck arylation protocol from trisubstituted olefins bearing a tether with a directing group in a completely stereo‐ and regioselective manner. The stereo‐ and regioselectivity as well as excellent yields of tetrasubstituted olefins originated from the stabilization of a palladium intermediate by chelation between the palladium center and a directing group.     

Surface modification of macroporous Al2O3 tubes with carbon-doped TiO2 intermediate layer and preparation of highly permeable palladium composite membranes for hydrogen separation

ABSTRACT

To prepare H₂-permeable palladium composite membranes, a novel carbon-doped microporous TiO₂ intermediate layer was introduced to modify the surface of macroporous Al₂O₃ substrates. The Pd/TiO₂–C/Al₂O₃ membrane was prepared via electroless plating, and thereafter, carbon residue in the intermediate layer was removed by calcination in air, yielding a Pd/TiO₂/Al₂O₃ membrane. Experimental results indicate that the carbon residue shrinks the pore size of the intermediate layer and facilitates a decrease of membrane defects. Additionally, carbon removal induces a higher effective membrane area at the permeate side, which enhances hydrogen permeability. Furthermore, the apparent activation energy (E_A) and stability of the as-prepared Pd/TiO₂/Al₂O₃ membrane were investigated.     

Antiproliferative and Proapoptotic Activities of Methanolic Extracts from Ligustrum vulgare L. as an Individual Treatment and in Combination with Palladium Complex

The aim of this study is to examine the growth inhibitory effects of methanolic leaf and fruit extracts of L. vulgare on HCT-116 cells over different time periods and their synergistic effect with a Pd(apox) complex. The antiproliferative activity of plant extracts alone or in combination with the Pd(apox) complex was determined using MTT cell viability assay, where the IC(50) value was used as a parameter of cytotoxicity. Results show that antiproliferative effects of L. vulgare extracts increase with extension of exposure time, with decreasing IC(50) values, except for 72 h where the IC(50) values for methanolic leaf extract were lower than for the fruit extract. The Pd(apox) complex alone had a weak antiproliferative effect, but combination with L. vulgare extracts caused stronger effects with lower IC(50) values than with L. vulgare extracts alone. The type of cell death was explored by fluorescence microscopy using the acridin orange/ethidium bromide method. Treatments with plant extracts caused typical apoptotic morphological changes in HCT-116 cells and co-treatments with Pd(apox) complex caused higher levels of apoptotic cells than treatment with plant extracts alone. The results indicate that L. vulgare is a considerable source of natural bioactive substances with antiproliferative activity on HCT-116 cells and which have a substantial synergistic effect with the Pd(apox) complex.

Pd-Decorated Tungsten as Pt-Free Bimetallic Catalysts for Hydrogen Oxidation Reaction in Alkaline Electrolyte

Developing Pt-free catalysts for hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) in alkaline solution is becoming a key challenge in the development of anion exchange membrane fuel cells and electrochemical reactors. Herein, we present the preparation, HOR activity, and stability of Pd-decorated tungsten (Pd-d-W) catalysts. The Pd-d-W catalysts were prepared by the chemically activated surface of tungsten nanoparticles by Pd ions. The resultant bimetallic catalysts consisted of crystalline phases of both Pd and W nanoparticles. The CO stripping voltammograms and H-desorption (H_des) peak potential of hydrogen desorption in Pd suggests that the enhancement of HOR catalytic activity observed in Pd-d-W catalyst can be ascribed to the modification of electronic property of Pd and availability of OH_ad near-surface Pd atoms.     

Synthesis and property of nanosized palladium catalysts protected by chitosan/silica

A chitosan (CTN)/silica‐supported nanosized palladium catalyst was obtained from a silica‐supported chitosan palladium complex through a complex transition method. An adsorption model was employed to simplify the structure of the di‐supporter. It was indicated that when the polymer coil adsorbed on the silica surface with even a monolayer the catalytic activity would reach an optimum value, and different situations of the, nanosized palladium particles would cause a different catalysis. The molar ratio of the chitosan structure unit to the palladium would affect the metal's size, which therefore influenced its catalytic activity. The experimental results corresponded with the inferences. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 85: 989–994, 2002

Revised Model of Strain in Ceria–Zirconia-Encapsulated Precious-Metal Particles

A previously proposed model of strain in ceria–zirconia-encapsulated precious-metal particles is revised to reflect several new observations: encapsulation of unstrained Pt particles, quantitative relation between partial reduction and the change in ceria–zirconia cell parameters, temperature/time dependence of strain relaxation/imposition in encapsulated Pd and Rh particles, and strained PdO. According to the revised model, the main cause of strain is partial oxidation of the precious metal (rather than the change in oxygen content of ceria–zirconia, as originally suggested).     

Correlation of Subsolidus Phase Relations in the Ag─Pd─O System to Oxidation Reduction Kinetics and Dilametric Behavior

The relationship between the equilibrium subsolidus phase diagram of the Ag─Pd─O₂ system, and the oxidation/reduction kinetics and microstructure development of 70Ag/30Pd coprecipitated and alloyed powders is presented. For the same Ag/Pd ratio and similar powder characteristics, the onset temperatures of Pd oxidation and PdO reduction for coprecipitated powders are lower than those of alloyed powders. For Ag/Pd alloyed powders, complete oxidation of Pd does not occur, because of kinetic limitations and the equilibrium phases present at high temperatures. Significant differences in microstructural evolution were observed and correlated to the oxidation processes and densification kinetics. The impact of these results on the use of the Ag/Pd system as conductors is discussed.
