With platinum and rhodium, palladium is one of the most important
members of the platinum metal group. The last Gmelin treatment of
it was in 1942, and knowledge of its properties and chemistry has
made enormous strides since then. This volume is primarily
concerned with binary compounds and with the coordination complexes
derived from them. Although it is a member of the
nickel-palladium-platinum triad, it more closely resernblas
platinum in its binary and coordination chemistry, though being a
second-row transition element it displays less tendency than does
platinum to assume higher oxidation states. ln heterogeneous and
homogeneous catalysis, referred to at appropriate points, palladium
and its complexes are of great importance in bulk and fine
chemieals production, effecting a wide variety of organic
transformations. The arrangement of material in this volume follows
the traditional Gmelin arrangement. Within each category of
compounds or complexes the material is arranged, as usual, in order
of ascending metal oxidation states (e. g., palladium(ll) precedes
palladium(IV)). The chemistry of the palladium-hydrogen system is
so large that it merits a separate volume, so this book starts with
the binary oxides and oxopalladates followed by hydroxides, hydroxo
complexes and aquo complexes. Then nitrides and nitrates are
treated. They are followed by the large chapters on halides and
their complexes (172 pages). The largest single chapter in this
volume (11 0 pages) deals with chlorides, chloropalladates and
other chloro complexes.
