Sandwich type tri-palladium substituted phosphotungstate, [Pd3(PW9O34)2]11-: Synthesis, structural characterization and catalytic evaluation

The present work showcases, first time, the synthesis of tri-palladium substituted sandwich type phosphotungstate, [Pd-3(PW9O34)(2)](11-), from its individual salts in super acidic medium as well as the single crystal structure of the same. Further, various spectral analysis carried out to support the crystal data. A preliminary study for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene has been carried out to evaluate the catalytic activity of the complex. (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
