The synthesis of highly stable ultrasmall monodisperse populations of palladium nanoparticles in the range of 1-3 nm in size was achieved via polyol reduction within 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphor-rac(1-glycerol) liposomal nanoreactors exploiting glycerol as both reducing and stabilizing agent. The liposome-based green method was compared with synthesis in solution, and the reducing agent concentration and the lipidic composition of the liposomal nanoreactors were demonstrated to have a strong effect on the final size and homogeneity of the palladium nanoparticles. Glycerol molecules acting as capping agent demonstrated the ability to stabilize the palladium nanoparticles over a long period of time, maintaining their homogeneity in size and shape. The obtained palladium nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction, and dynamic light scattering to determine their morphology, size, charge, surface chemistry, and crystal structure. The catalytic activity of the palladium nanoparticles was also tested for a reduction reaction.

In Situ Formed "Weakly Ligated/Labile Ligand" Iridium(0) Nanoparticles and Aggregates as Catalysts for the Complete Hydrogenation of Neat Benzene at Room Temperature and Mild Pressures Bayram, Ercan; Zahmakiran, Mehmet; Özkar, Saim; Finke, Richard G. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010-07-20) "Weakly ligated/labile ligand" nanoparticles, that is nanoparticles where only weakly coordinated ligands plus the desired catalytic reactants are present, are of fundamental interest. Described herein is a catalyst system for benzene hydrogenation to cyclohexane consisting of "weakly ligated/labile ligand" Ir(0) nanoparticles and aggregates plus dry-HCl formed formed in situ from commercially available [(1,5-COD)IrCl](2) plus 40 +/- 1 psig (similar to 2.7 atm) H(2) at 22 +/- 0.1 degrees C. Multiple control...
Encapsulated Hydrogels by E-beam Lithography and Their Use in Enzyme Cascade Reactions Mancini, Rock J.; Paluck, Samantha J.; Bat, Erhan; Maynard, Heather D. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-04-26) Electron beam (e-beam) lithography was employed to prepare one protein immobilized hydrogel encapsulated inside another by first fabricating protein-reactive hydrogels of orthogonal reactivity and subsequently conjugating the biomolecules. Exposure of thin films of eight arm star poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) functionalized with biotin (Biotin PEG), alkyne (Alkyne-PEG) or aminooxy (AO-PEG) end groups to e-beam radiation resulted in cross-linked hydrogels with the respective functionality. It was determined vi...
Phospholipid Complexation of General Anesthetics in Fluid Bilayers Türkyılmaz, Serhan; Chen, Wen-Hua; Regen, Steven L. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010-04-20) A nearest-neighbor recogntion analysis has been performed in cholesterol-rich and cholesterol-poor liposomes derived from 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) in the presence of varying concentrations of chloroform. This analysis has yielded a funamentally new, molecular-level view of the interaction of general anesthetics with lipid bilayers, which may be relevant to their biological action; that is, DPPC Forms 1:1 complexes with CHCl3 in both membranes in the fluid bilayer state.
Dust Effects on Nucleation Kinetics and Nanoparticle Product Size Distributions: Illustrative Case Study of a Prototype Ir(0)(n) Transition-Metal Nanoparticle Formation System Özkar, Saim (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017-07-04) The question is addressed if dust is kinetically important in the nucleation and growth of Ir(0) nanoparticles formed from [Bu4N](5)Na-3(1,5-COD)(IrP2W15Nb3O62)-P-I center dot (hereafter [(COD)Ir center dot POM](8-)), reduced by H-2 in propylene carbonate solvent. Following a concise review of the (often neglected) literature addressing dust in nucleation phenomena dating back to the late 1800s, the nucleation and growth kinetics of the [(COD)Ir center dot POK8- precatalyst system are examined for the effec...
Palladium(0) Nanoparticle Formation, Stabilization, and Mechanistic Studies: Pd(acac)(2) as a Preferred Precursor, [Bu4N](2)HPO4 Stabilizer, plus the Stoichiometry, Kinetics, and Minimal, Four-Step Mechanism of the Palladium Nanoparticle Formation and Subsequent Agglomeration Reactions Özkar, Saim (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-04-19) Palladium(0) nanoparticles continue to be important in the field of catalysis. However, and despite the many prior reports of Pd(0)(n) nanoparticles,, missing is a study that reports the kinetically controlled formation of Pd(0)(n) nanoparticles with the simple stabilizer [Bu4N](2)HPO4 in an established, balanced formation reaction where the kinetics and mechanism of the nanoparticle-formation reaction are also provided. It is just such studies that are the focus of the present work. Specifically, the prese...
