Abstract:
Palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) (ca. 4.8 nm) were synthesized from Palladium acetylacetonate [Pd(acac)₂] using ionic liquids 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [BMI.PF6] or 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [BMI.N(Tf)₂] as stabilizing agents. The catalyst named Pd NPs/IL/Chitosan, was characterized and analyzed by the different techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), infrared (IR) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method (BET), to evaluate the composition of the material as well as the texture, size, distribution, homogeneity, structure and surface area. The catalyst Pd NPs/IL/Chitosan exhibited high catalytic activity in the hydrogenation reactions, when compared to Pd NPs not supported; this fact is related possibly to the large surface area and the durability and stability provided by the support of the biopolymer in combination with ionic liquids.

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

When atoms gain or lose electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration they form ions. Ionic bonds are electrostatic attractions between ions with opposite charges. Ionic compounds are rigid and brittle when solid and may dissociate into their constituent ions in water. Covalent compounds, by contrast, remain intact unless a chemical reaction breaks them.
