The solubilities of palladium(II) -diketonates (PdL 2 , L = acetylacetonate (acac), trifluoroacetylacetonate (tfa), and thenoyltrifluoroacetonate (tta)) in supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2 ) from 318 -338 K and 8 -25 MPa were investigated by UV-vis spectrophotometer equipped with a high-pressure optical cell. The molar absorptivities for Pd(acac) 2 , Pd(tfa) 2 , and Pd(tta) 2 in SC-CO 2 were estimated as 1.14 10 4 M -1 cm -1 at 324 nm, 8.16 10 3 M -1 cm -1 at 336.5 nm, and 2.70 10 4 M -1 cm -1 at 322.5 nm, respectively. Solubilities in SC-CO 2 increase in order of Pd(tta) 2 < Pd(acac) 2 < Pd(tfa) 2 , i.e., 6.5 10 -6 < 5.2 10 -5 < 1.3 10 -4 M at 318 K and 11.5 MPa. The experimental solubilities were correlated using the equation proposed by Chrastil and the thermodynamic parameters for each PdL 2 were estimated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
