Investigating PdEnCat catalysis.
The catalytic behavior of three commercially available PdEnCat catalysts was explored. When the three-phase test was used, it was demonstrated that these microencapsulated palladium catalysts act as heterogeneous sources, or reservoirs, for soluble, catalytically active species. In addition, kinetic data coupled with transmission electron microscopy and solvent-dependent investigations were used to support this conclusion.
