Johnson Matthey

This technical brief will start by outlining the importance of cross-coupling catalysts in the industry. It will then weigh up the benefits of existing in situ and pre-formed catalysts. The remainder of the technical brief introduces Johnson Matthey’s DyadPalladateTM pre-catalysts as a cost-effective and greener alternative to traditional in situ systems.

This white paper will describe the critical factors to consider for the identification and implementation of catalytic processes using supported Platinum Group Metal (PGM) heterogeneous catalysts. Many variables influence catalyst performance. The paper will provide guidance for catalyst selection and how through an in-depth analysis can lead to process optimisation.
