[Pd(NH3)(4)]MoO4 as a precursor for Pd-Mo-containing catalysts: Thermal behavior, X-ray analysis of the thermolysis products and related catalytic studies
Compound [Pd(NH3)(4)]MoO4 (1) has been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, analytical data, powder and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Thermal properties of 1 have been examined by thermogravimetry. Powder X-ray diffraction has been applied to investigate the nanosized products of thermal decomposition of the precursor in hydrogen (Pd-Mo) and helium (Pd-MoO2) atmospheres. Pd-Mo catalysts supported with gamma-Al2O3 have been tested in oxidation of CO and H-2 mixtures. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
