Metal-Micelle Cooperativity: Phosphine Ligand-Free Ultrasmall Palladium(II) Nanoparticles for Oxidative Mizoroki-Heck-type Couplings in Water at Room Temperature.

ABSTRACT: The amphiphile PS-750-M generates stable, phosphine ligand-free, and catalytically active ultrasmall Pd(II) nanoparticles (NPs) from Pd(OAc)₂, preventing their precipitation, polymerization, and oxidation state changes. PS-750-M directly interacts with Pd(II) NP surfaces, as confirmed by high-resolution mass spectrometry and IR spectroscopy, resulting in their high stability. The Pd cations in NPs are most likely held together by hydroxides and acetate ions. The NPs were characterized by HRTEM, revealing their morphology and particle size distribution, and by HRMS and IR, providing evidence for NP-amphiphile interaction. The NP catalytic activity was examined in the context of oxidative Mizoroki-Heck-type couplings in water at room temperature. Hot filtration, hot extraction, an
