Reduction of electrophilic Pd(II) complexes intercalated in montmorillonite under mild conditions (0[degrees]C in MeOH) has been shown to afford highly despersed metallic palladium, located mainly in the interlamellar regions of the clay. Transmission electron microscopy reveals an unusual platelet morphology for the interlammellar metal particles, suggesting that the clay structure may impose a kinetic constraint on the attainment of a thermodynamically more favorable spherical morphology. 15 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.
