Abstract:: Generating highly dispersed metal NPs of the desired size on surfaces such as porous silica is challenging due to wettability issues. Here, we report highly active and well‐dispersed Pd incorporated mesoporous MCM‐41 (Pd@MCM) using a facile impregnation via a molecular approach based on hydrogen bonding interaction of a palladium β‐diketone complex with surface silanol groups of mesoporous silica. Controlled thermal treatment of so obtained materials in air, argon, and hydrogen provided the catalysts charact… Show more
