General description

Palladium(II) acetate is an orange, brown, moderately water-soluble source of palladium. We provide palladium(II) acetate with a purity of 99.98% on a trace metals basis (< 250.0 ppm), making it ideal for a wide range of catalytic reactions.

Application

Palladium(II) acetate is used
  • As a precursor in the one-step solvothermal synthesis of carbon-supported PtPdCu nanoalloy catalysts, enabling the formation of uniform nanoparticles with enhanced catalytic activity and stability for fuel cell applications.
  • As a key catalyst in the Sonogashira–Hagihara cross-coupling reaction to synthesize microporous polymers, which are carbonized to produce high-performance porous carbon electrodes for supercapacitors and hydrogen evolution reactions.
  • As a precursor in the fabrication of metallic nanopatterns through focused ion beam-induced decomposition of spin-coated thin films, enabling the creation of conductive palladium nanostructures for applications in nanoelectronics and advanced lithography.

Features and Benefits

  • High palladium loading (46.2 - 48.6%) increases the availability of active sites for catalysis, leading to more efficient conversion of reactants into products as more palladium atoms are involved in the reaction.
  • Ultra-high purity (99.98% Trace Metals Basis) minimizes contamination, enhancing performance by reducing metal sintering, preventing irreversible reactions with catalytic species, and maintaining optimal electronic properties for better catalyst efficiency in palladium-sensitive applications.

A novel type of "X-shaped" two-dimensional electro-optic (EO) chromophore with extended conjugation has been synthesized and characterized. This chromophore is found to exhibit a remarkably blue-shifted optical maximum (357 nm in CH(2)Cl(2)) while maintaining a very large first hyperpolarizability (beta).
