Catalytically active nanosized Pd₉Te₄ (telluropalladinite) and PdTe (kotulskite) alloys: first precursor-architecture controlled synthesis using palladium complexes of organotellurium compounds as single source precursors.

ABSTRACT: Several intermetallic binary phases of Pd-Te including Pd₃Te₂, PdTe, PdTe₂, Pd₉Te₄, Pd₃Te, Pd₂Te, Pd₂₀Te₇, Pd₈Te₃, Pd₇Te₂, Pd₇Te₃, Pd₄Te and Pd₁₇Te₄ are known, and negligible work (except few studies on PdTe) has been done on exploring applications of such phases and their fabrication at nanoscale. Hence, Pd(ii) complexes Pd(L1)Cl₂ and Pd(L2-H)Cl (L1): Ph-Te-CH₂-CH₂-NH₂ and L2: HO-2-C₆H₄-CH[double bond, length as m-dash]N-CH₂CH₂-Te-Ph were synthesized. Under similar thermolytic conditions, complex Pd(L1)Cl
