Gallium palladide
Chemical compound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gallium palladide (GaPd or PdGa)[2] is an intermetallic combination of gallium and palladium. It has the iron monosilicide crystal structure.[3] The compound has been suggested as an improved catalyst for hydrogenation reactions.[4][5] In principle, gallium palladide can be a more selective catalyst since unlike substituted compounds, the palladium atoms are spaced out in a regular crystal structure rather than randomly.[6][7]
