Application

Application Guide for Palladium Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions
Palladium(II) 2,4-pentanedionate can be used to synthesize palladium(II) complexes applicable in common cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki, Heck and Buchwald-Hartwig coupling. As a palladium precursor, it can be used to synthesize hollow Pd/Pt single-crystalline nanocubes with enhanced electrocatalytic activity due to increased surface area. The surface modification of TiO2 using Pd(acac)2 as a metal-organic precursor has enhanced its photocatalytic activity under UV irradiation. Pd(acac)2 can also be used to develop bimetallic alloy NP catalysts applicable in formic acid dehydrogenation.

Monodisperse 4 nm AuPd alloy nanoparticles with controlled composition were synthesized by co-reduction of hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) hydrate and palladium(II) acetylacetonate with a borane-morpholine complex in oleylamine. These NPs showed high activity (TOF = 230 h(-1)) and stability in catalyzing formic

Efficiency simplified: A synthetic strategy has been developed to prepare single-crystalline hollow Pd/Pt nanocubes (right, see picture; left: nanocubes). Compared to the solid Pd/Pt nanocubes of similar sizes, the hollow Pd/Pt nanocubes increase accessible surface area and therefore improve electrocatalytic
