5.4 Synthesis, compositional characterization and sorption properties of Cu/Pd-<br />

BTC_4<br />

Before the further investigation on catalytic reaction, it is important to prepare analogous<br />

samples featuring dominant extra-framework Pd 0 NPs loading as well. As known from the<br />

earlier experiments, employing higher Pd(II) acetate (more than 20%) in the starting<br />

reaction mixture, will only lead to the formation of metal/metal-oxide products.<br />

Interestingly, PdCl2 exhibits a rather distinct coordination mode with Pd(II) acetate. [290-<br />

292] Besides, longer reaction time in solvothermal conditions could facilitate the creation<br />

of Pd NPs to some extent. Thus, it is expected that higher Pd 0 NPs dispersion can be<br />

reached in Cu/Pd-BTC_4 by altering the Pd-precursor to PdCl2 and extending the reaction<br />

time.<br />

comparison with the patterns simulated from the single crystal XRD data of the reported<br />
