Silica-supported Pd, Rh and Pt metal nanoparticles catalyze the hydrogenolysis of the PtÀ OPh bond of ( t bpy)Pt(OPh)Cl to release PhOH. Based on kinetic studies monitored by 1 H NMR spectroscopy, the reactivity trend is Pd > Rh > Pt. Kinetic studies with Pd/SiO 2 are consistent with a first-order dependence on the catalyst and the molecular Pt(II) complex ( t bpy)Pt(OPh)Cl. Using TEM-EDS mapping and ICP-OES measurements of a recovered Pd catalyst, after 1 hour of hydrogenolysis of ( t bpy)Pt-(OPh)Cl, approximately 10-16 % Pt deposition (relative to Pd mol %) on the Pd/SiO 2 surface was quantified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
