Abstract
The synthesis of four different bidentate hybrid NHC-thioether ligands is presented. The corresponding palladium nanoparticles are stable in various solvents, depending on the ligand used, and show high chemoselectivity in the hydrogenation of olefins. The solubility of the nanoparticles can be switched multiple times depending on the pH value of the solvent. XPS analysis (which shows a subtle shift in the binding energy) was identified as a convenient tool to establish the binding mode of NHC ligands.Entities:
