Summary
Palladium clusters were synthesized by reduction of palladium(II) acetate in the presence of a bipyridyl ligand (1) with an initiator for polymerization of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline. The 1-protected palladium clusters were soluble in CHCl3 and CH2Cl2. The 1-protected palladium clusters were combined with 2-methyl-2-oxazoline in chloroform. After polymerization, the reacted bipyridyl ligand was removed from the palladium cluster by suspending the obtained palladium clusters with pyridine. The 1H NMR measurement indicated that the reacted bipyridyl ligand was formed via surface polymerization of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline.
