1 INTRODUCTIONCatalytic hydrodechlorination is an elegant reaction for disposal of environmentally hazardous chlorocarbons,such as chloro-benzene[1].Development of a new catalyst with excellent stability is necessary due to the deactivation of supported noble metal catalysts[1].However the modification of catalytic properties of catalysts in hydrodechlorination reaction by introducing stable ligands to noble metals has been the least studied.Here the synthesis of Pd(Ⅱ) 2,9,16,23-symetrically tetrasubstituted phthalocyanines PdPTX4 (where X=-H,-NO2,-NH2 respectively) from phthalimide derivatives is reported,and their application as catalysts in hydrodechlorination of chlorobenzene,which is a representative environmentally hazardous materials is discussed.
