Re: Palladium

Sandy

I believe that the any statement pertaining to the instability of
palladium II chloride is a myth. As long as sensible precautions are
taken and the powder kept dry it should last a life time. Of course,
if any one out there is thinking of throwing out that tube of old PdCl
then please feel free to send it to me .... I promise a print in
return!

For those who wish to examine other myths associated with Pt/Pd
printing here is an interesting link:
