Solid‐State Chemistry in a Microwave Oven: Preparation of Pd/Co Alloy from Cyanogel Coordination Polymers.

Abstract

Solid-State Chemistry in a Microwave Oven: Preparation of Pd/Co Alloy fromCyanogel Coordination Polymers. -A Pd/Co cyanogel is prepared by mixing Na2PdCl4 and K3Co(CN)6 in a 2:1 ratio and transformed to a Pd/Co alloy by solid state reaction in a conventional kitchen microwave oven. The process yields the alloy in a fraction of the time required by traditional thermal methods. The samples are characterized by powder XRD, IR spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements. The synthesis method might open a new route to thermodynamically metastable bi-and possibly trimetallic phases. -(VONDROVA, M.; MAJSZTRIK, P. W.; GOULD, S.; BOCARSLY*, A. B.; Chem.
