Deactivation processes of homogeneous Pd catalysts using in situ time resolved spectroscopic techniques.
UV-Vis, combined with ED-XAFS shows, for the first time, the evolution of inactive Pd dimers and trimers, that are a possible first stage in the deactivation process of important palladium catalysed reactions, leading to larger palladium clusters and eventually palladium black.
