Palladium is widely used as a metal wire electrode to synthesize Pd-based nanomaterials with good electrocatalytic activity. For example, it is used to prepare carbon-supported Pd nanoclusters and PdAu nanoparticles.
Itcan also be used as a hydrogenation catalyst in various organic reactions, suchas hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes to their corresponding hydrocarbons.
The development of transition metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions has greatly influenced the manner in which the synthesis of complex organic molecules is approached. A wide variety of methods are now available for the formation of C(sp(2))-C(sp(2)) bonds, and more recent work
Palladium-catalyzed oxidative difunctionalization of enol ethers with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to construct trisubstituted furans in one step under mild conditions is described. The reaction is thought to proceed through a C-C bond formation along with a C-O bond closing the ring
A one-pot two-step synthesis of versatile indenones has been developed. This palladium(II)-catalyzed transformation involves generation and condensation of ortho-functionalized 1,2-benzils from 2-(2-arylethynylphenyl)acetonitriles using Ph2SO as the oxidant. The resulting 3-cyanoindenones can be converted to various valuable molecules.

Tetrahydrofurans and pyrrolidines are among the most important heterocycles found in bioactive compounds. Cyclization-functionalization domino reactions of alcohols or amines onto olefins constitute one of the most efficient methods to access them. In this context, oxy- and aminoalkynylation are especially

Controlling the shape or morphology of metal nanocrystals is central to the realization of their many applications in catalysis, plasmonics, and electronics. In one of the approaches, the metal nanocrystals are grown from seeds of certain crystallinity through the addition
