ABSTRACT:
In the solvothermal condition, a Pd(II) complex with
a in situ synthesis ligand, [Pd(2,2’-bipy)2(CN)2] (1) was
obtained and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV, TG, and powder X-ray
analysis. The single crystal X-ray analysis
showed that the title complex is different from the reported 2,2’-bipyridyl-dicyanopalladium(II) (2) in
crystal system and structural parameters. The catalytic investigation for the
reactions of the disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide and oxidation of
sulfide showed that the complex 1 is an active homogeneous catalyst in the
presence of imidazole and 2-sulfobenzoic acid, respectively.
