Kinetics of hydrogenation of 1-hexene in the presence of aromatic hydrocarbons on palladium sulfide catalyst

Allyl palladium dithiocarbamates and related dithiolate complexes as precursors to palladium sulfides

“…A range of palladium sulfides are known including PdS, PdS 2 , Pd 4 S and non-stoichiometric materials such as Pd 2.2 S and Pd 2.5 S. PdS itself is a semi-conductor (E g = $2 eV) which also finds use in a wide range of catalytic processes including hydrodesulfurization [1], hydrogenation [2] and the selective synthesis of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen [3]. While PdS can easily be prepared upon addition of hydrogen sulfide to tetrachloropalladate(II), in common with other metal sulfides it can be difficult to process or engineer.…”
