Triphasic liquid systems: generation and segregation of catalytically active Pd nanoparticles in an ammonium-based catalyst-philic phase

摘要

A triphasic liquid system fabricated from isooctane, aqueous base, and trioctylmethylammonium chloride/decanol promoted the formation of Pd-nanoparticles in the size range of 2 - 4 nm which remained immobilised in the onium phase, catalysed organic reactions, and could be recycled.
