Silver Nitrate → Silver-palladium isophthalate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A silver/palladium catalyst was prepared by the coprecipitation technique. A solution of 200 ml. (0.1 mole) of 0.5 molar sodium isophthalate was added to a stirred mixture of 100 ml. (0.2 mole) of 2 N silver nitrate and two grams (0.0087 mole) of palladium nitrate in 300 ml. of water. The precipitate was collected on a filter, washed and dried to give silver-palladium isophthalate, product I. Product I analyzed: C, 24.6%; H, 1.3%; Ag, 53.8%; Pd, 2.4%.
