In situ generation of palladium oxide nano-crystals

Synthesis of metal–organic framework (MOF) based on tetra-pyridyl porphyrin and palladium (II) salt resulted in the formation of palladium oxide nano-crystals. The palladium oxide nano-crystals were characterized by PXRD, TEM, HRTEM, ED, UV–Vis spectroscopy, DLS, SEM and AFM. A plausible mechanism for the in situ generation of nano-crystals has been proposed.
