| Abstract | Alumina promotes the reaction of PdX2(dpm) (3) (X = Cl, Br, I) with H2S to form Pd2X2(mu-S)(dpm)(2) (2)(1) and HX, with chemisorption of the HX (quantified by titration) providing the driving force; although no intermediate species are detected, the reaction likely proceeds via mercapto species formed via ’alumina activated H2S’. XPS studies show interactions of species 2 and 3 with alumina, these interactions being weak as demonstrated by recovery of the species on dissolution using an appropriate solvent. For the iodide system, adsorbed HI on alumina undergoes partial photodecomposition to give I-2 and H atoms. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. |
