Need confirmation on the following procedure for PdCl2 prodction
Steps:
-Drop 2 grams of palladium metal in Aqua regia.
-Heat until reaction is complete adding more AR if necessary.
-Heat until all acids have evaporated and the the solid product is all that remains.
-Add few mls of conc HCl to dissolve everything.
-Heat to evaporate all the HCl
-Repeat two steps above 2-3 more times.
-Dry the product that should be pure PdCl2
I want to know if the last 4 steps are necessary. Wikipedia states that palladium nitrate decomposes before reaching 100 degrees.

Well, there ARE a lot of kids interested in stylishly retro photographic chemistry, using various chemicals such as this. I have seen some VERY nice
prints done with such, kind of like the resurgence of vinyl records, there's a movement towards old school film cameras/optical printing processes.

And possibly a few contemplating a Wacker oxidation?

But surely not most. Art photography is a siren, her song irresistibly luring many of our clean living young folk to the techniques of Ansel Adams
and his contemporaries...

Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.
Anatol Rapoport was a Russian-born American mathematical psychologist (1911-2007).

I have this never ending drive to photograph nature in Ir or uV, or Ir-uV combined. Seeing nature as insects, birds and other animals do. Especially
trees. So incredibly cool its freaky. Alien landscape freaky. I love it. The better you filter out all of the visible spectrum the more fantastic
nature appears.
