Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This study examines the influence of the preparation variables on the physicochemical properties of Pd/C catalyst and its performance in the hydrodechlorination of carbon tetrachloride and proposes a model of a palladium active site and its catalytic “modus operandi” which satisfactorily describes the chloroform formation from carbon tetrachloride. Several carbon-supported Pd (0.2–1.6 wt%) catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation of the support with H 2 PdCl 4 aqueous solutions and reduced at 523 K (CPd series). Additionally, five portions of the 1.0 wt% CPd precursor were reduced at 423, 473, 623, 723, and 823 K. Another two catalysts containing 1.0 wt% Pd were prepared in similarly to Pd(NO 3 ) 2 and reduced at 523 K (NPd series). One of these last samples was calcined at 573 K prior to the reduction. The TPR results indicate that reduction of the CPd precursors is more difficult than that of NPd, which are reduced at subambient temperature. As shown by CO chemisorption, metal dispersion in NPd is lower than in CPd catalysts, in which dispersion decreases as the reduction temperature increases. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that Pd 0 and Pd n+ species are present on the catalysts surface and that their proportion depends on the reduction temperature and the nature of the palladium precursor. All the catalysts containing both Pd 0 and Pd n+ were active and highly selective in the hydrodechlorination of carbon tetrachloride to chloroform, whereas samples having only one of these species were inactive. The results indicate that both Pd 0 and Pd n+ are required for the catalytic hydrodechlorination reaction and, consequently, it is proposed that the active Pd site is dual in nature and is constituted by the association of the two species: electron-deficient and metallic palladium [Pd n+ –Pd 0 ]. The hydrodechlorination activity is related to the Pd n+ /Pd 0 ratio and the maximum activity corresponds to Pd n+ /Pd 0 ≈1. We propose that H 2 chemisorbs and dissociates on Pd 0 to give the covalent adatom Pd–H, whereas CCl 4 chemisorbs dissociatively on the same Pd n+ site by abstraction of the slightly nucleophilic chloride anion (Cl: − ), leading to the formation of the highly reactive activated complex [Cl–Pd 0 :→CCl 3 ] n+. Interaction between the two surface species leads to chloroform and hydrogen chloride and to the regeneration of the active site.
