We describe a strategy for extracting nearly size-monodisperse, 1.7-nm-diameter Pd nanoparticles from within dendrimer hosts. The approach involves two steps. First, an aqueous solution of dendrimer-encapsulated Pd nanoparticles is prepared, followed by the addition of a toluene solution containing an n-alkanethiol. When the two-phase system is stirred, n-alkanethiols presumably self-assemble o...

Front Cover: In article number 2200045, Thomas Hellweg and co-workers describe the preparation of a variety PNNPAM-based microgels copolymerized with methacrylic acid loaded monodisperse catalytically active palladium nanoparticles. The leads to interesting pH- thermoresponsive properties gel particles shows ambivalent influences regarding catalytic activity embedded cover page TEM images syste...

Long-chain n-octadecayl mercaptan (C18H37SH)-passivated palladium nanoparticles are synthesized and characterized. The palladium nanoparticles are successfully capped by n-octadecayl mercaptan. These palladium nanoparticles have the same face-centered cubic crystalline structure as Pd in the bulk phase. The size of the capped palladium nanoparticles varies in the range of 1.3–5.5 nm for various...

Phytochemical based synthesis of palladium nanoparticles by bioreduction of medicinally potent plant extract Coleus amboinicus is investigated in the present study. Treatment of palladium chloride with Coleus amboinicus extract resulted in the formation of palladium nanoparticles. The formation of palladium nanoparticles were confirmed using UV-vis, FTIR, TEM and XRD. Polyols such as flavones, ...

A ligand free, Palladium nanoparticles catalyzed synthesis of pyran derivatives using C-H activated compound, malononitrile and aryl aldehyde via Knoevenagel condensation followed by Michael addition reaction using Palladium nanoparticles as catalyst in one-pot is described herein. The advantages of this method lie in its simplicity, low catalyst loading, cost effectiveness and easy to handle. ...

The development of green and safe processes for the synthesis of nanomaterials is one of the main aspects of nanotechnology. In this study, a biological, inexpensive and rapid process for the fabrication of palladium nanoparticles using the aqueous broth of Pistacia Atlantica fruit as a novel biomass product is reported without using extra surfactant, capping agent, and template. The synthesize...

The primary objective of this paper is to enhance the water-vapor-adsorption capacity of multiwall-carbon-nanotube (MWCNT) from nitrogen gas by grafting sulfonic acid groups and doping palladium nanoparticles into the adsorbent. MWCNT has been selected to be modified because of having homogeneous adsorption energy compared to silica gel. As a result, it is capable of creating isotherm having sh...

We report the environmental benign route in the synthesis of palladium nanoparticles using the aqueous leaf broth of Acalypha indica L. In this protocol, the biomolecules present in the leaf broth, reduced palladium ions into palladium nanoparticles and these biomolecules also acted as capping and stabilizing agents. The colour change in the reaction medium from pale yellow to dark brown during...

This paper outlines the preparation of monodisperse MnFe(2)O(4) nanoparticles modified with omega-alkenyl moieties in a one-pot reaction, requiring no ligand-exchange step, followed by deposition of the resulting surfactant-coated nanoparticles onto a hydrogen-terminated silicon (111) wafer and covalent anchoring to the surface via UV-initiated bonding, creating a stable two-dimensional array o...

Palladium nanoparticles of average size around 8 nm have been synthesized rapidly by UV irradiation of mixture of palladium chloride and potassium oxalate solutions. A rod-shaped palladium oxalate complex has been observed as an intermediate. In the absence of potassium oxalate, no Pd nanoparticles have been observed. The synthesized Pd nanoparticles have been characterized by powder X-ray diff...
