Overview of Palladium On Carbon

 

Palladium on Carbon (Pd/C) is a heterogeneous catalytic agent used frequently in organic synthesis, co-coupling, and hydrogenation reactions. The catalyst is known for its high catalytic performance, reuseability, and application in many chemical transformations. Palladium on Carbon is widely used for pharmaceutical synthesis as well as fine chemical production and in industrial organic chemistry.

This compound appears as a black powder consisting of palladium metal dispersed on activated carbon support. Typical palladium loadings range from 5-10% by weight.

Related products include Platinum On Carbon, Palladium On Alumina, and other supported metal catalysts used in organic synthesis.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

  1. What is Palladium On Carbon used for?

    Used as a catalyst in hydrogenation reactions, catalytic debenzylation, cross-coupling reactions, and pharmaceutical synthesis.

  2. What is typical palladium content?

    Typically, 5% or 10% palladium by weight on activated carbon support.

  3. Why is it pyrophoric?

    Finely divided palladium adsorbs hydrogen; it spontaneously ignites when exposed to air while dry.
