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.

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...
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...
Industrial Ziegler-Type Hydrogenation Catalysts Made from Co(neodecanoate)(2) or Ni(2-ethylhexanoate)(2) and AlEt3: Evidence for Nanoclusters and Sub-Nanocluster or Larger Ziegler-Nanocluster Based Catalysis
Alley, William M.; Hamdemir, Isil K.; Wang, Qi; Frenkel, Anatoly I.; Li, Long; Yang, Judith C.; Menard, Laurent D.; Nuzzo, Ralph G.; Özkar, Saim; Yih, Kuang-Hway; Johnson, Kimberly A.; Finke, Richard G. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2011-05-17)
Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysts are important for industrial processes, namely, the large-scale selective hydrogenation of styrenic block copolymers. Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysts are composed of a group 8-10 transition metal precatalyst plus an alkylaluminum cocatalyst (and they are not the same as Ziegler-Natta polymerization catalysts). However, for similar to 50 years two unsettled issues central to Ziegler-type hydrogenation catalysis are the nature of the metal species present after cataly...
Amphoteric surface hydrogels derived from hydrogen-bonded multilayers: Reversible loading of dyes and macromolecules
Kharlampieva, Eugenia; Erel Göktepe, İrem; Sukhishvili, Svetlana A. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2007-01-02)
We used hydrogen-bonded multilayers of poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVPON) and poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) as precursors for producing surface-bound hydrogels and studied their pH-dependent swelling and protein uptake behavior using in situ attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and in situ ellipsometry. The hydrogels were produced by selective chemical cross-linking between PMAA units using carbodiimide chemistry and ethylenediamine (EDA) as a cross-linking reagent, followed by ...
