Preparation of Dendritic Carbosilane-supported Palladium Catalyst and Its Catalytic Activity in Hydr

The preparation of palladium complex from PdCl2·2H2O and earbosilane dendrimers with peripheral aminopropyl groups was described. The compound obtained was characterized by IR, 1H NMR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometric (ICP-AES) spectroscopy respectively. The metal complex was employed as catalyst in hydrogenation of organic compounds. The high activity of the complex was probably due to the formation of the eoordinatively unsaturated palladium.
