Preparation of CO detection reagent (PdCl 2/HCl): 100 ml of water is added to 130 mg of palladium(II)chloride (0.733 mmol, 99.7%) in a 250 ml volumetric flask. 1 ml of HCl solution is added, which was prepared from mixture of conc. HCl/water (V/V = 1:10). The suspension is stirred for one day at room temperature, until giving a clear solution. Then the flask is filled to the mark with water. The solution can be stored for up to eight months. Preparation of CO 2 detection reagent (Ba(OH) 2): In a 500 ml two-necked flask 200 ml of water is saturated with barium hydroxide, filtered, and stored under argon. (The saturated solution reacts rapidly with air-carbon dioxide). Synthesis of iodosylbenzene: To 32 g of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (0.1 mol, 1 eq.) in a 1 l Erlenmeyer flask is added 532 ml of sodium hydroxide solution (1.88 M) dropwise at room temperature. The light yellow suspension is stirred for three hours at room temperature. The precipitate is filtered under high vacuum and washed with water until the washing water is neutral. The slightly yellow solid was dried in the air and then mortared into fine powder. The result of iodometric titration of one sample gave 99.5% (W/W) of iodosylbenzene.
