Description of the dataset on alkoxycarbonylation catalyzed by supported palladium phosphide nanoparticles

The application of element synergy is a powerful strategy for developing high-performance heterogeneous catalysts. Incorporating a secondary element into the metal lattice can effectively tailor the geometric and electronic properties of surface sites. In particular, the incorporation of phosphorus into metals to form metal phosphides enables the creation of electronically modulated and spatially isolated active sites. This effect is analogous to the effect of ligands on metal centers in homogeneous catalysis, highlighting the potential for designing heterogenized catalysts applying element synergy. In this article, we describe the dataset deposited in the Repo4Cat repository related to the application of supported palladium phosphide nanoparticles in alkoxycarbonylation reactions. The dataset covers the primary data and metadata pertaining to the characterization of the catalyst and application in carbonylation reactions.
