A reaction of [PdCl2(cod)] (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) and an E/Z mixture of quinoline-2-carbaldehyde (pyridine-2-carbonyl)hydrazone (HL) gave two kinds of Pd(II) mononuclear complexes, [PdCl(Z-L-κ(3)N,N',N'')] (1) and [PdCl2(E-HL'-κ(2)N,N')] (2), where L(-) is the deprotonated hydrazonate anion and HL' is the quinolinium-hydrazonate zwitterionic form of HL. Complex 2 is gradually converted to 1...

Reaction of PdCl2 with N,N-bis-(diphenylphosphanylmethyl)-2-aminopyridine (bdppmapy) afforded a mononuclear complex [(bdppmapy)PdCl2] (). Compound was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H, (13)C and (31)P NMR, electrospray ion mass spectra (ESI-MS) and X-ray single crystal crystallography. The Pd(ii) center in is chelated by bdppmapy, showing a cis-square planar geometry. With the assi...

Cyclophellitol and its C3-epimer have been synthesized from5-enoglucopyranoside and 5-enomannopyranoside, respectively. The carbocyclic skeletonwas constructed through a Ferrier-II reaction meditated by PdCl2.

Compared with the rapid deactivation of Pd/AC catalyst, an eco-friendly Pd-[DBU][Cl]/AC ([DBU][Cl], 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene hydrochloride) catalyst enhanced stability was synthesized and applied in hydrochlorination acetylene. The Pd-20[DBU][Cl]/AC exhibits 96.7% acetylene conversion 98.9% selectivity vinyl chloride within 24 h evaluation under conditions T = 180 °C, GHSV(C2H2) 360 h...

1-(N,N-Dimethylaminomethyl)-1'-(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocene (1) was synthesized in good yield by lithiation of 1-bromo-1'-(diphenylphosphanyl)ferrocene and subsequent reaction with Eschenmoser's salt (dimethylmethylideneammonium iodide). Making use of an easily accessible, nontoxic starting material, this procedure represents a convenient alternative to the original synthetic protocol based on...

trans-Bis(alkynyl)palladium complexes, trans-[(PEt3)2Pd(-CtCC{dO}NR2)2] (NR2 = NMe2 (2a), N(CH2)4 (2b)), were synthesized by two different methods: (a) by copper-catalyzed reaction of HCtCC(dO)NR2with [PdCl2(PEt3)2] under basic conditions and (b) by treatingHCtCC(dO)NR2 with AgNO3 followed by transmetalation of the alkynyl ligand from silver to [PdCl2(PEt3)2]. The reaction of AgCtCC(dO)NMe2 (3a...

Using 1,3-bis(chloroacetamido)propane (5) as the common intermediate, an efficient route is described to the stepwise syntheses of 1-thia-4,8-diazacyclodecane, [10]aneN2S (8), and the pentadentate macrobicycle 17-thia-1,4,8,11tetraazabicyclo[9,5,3]-nonadecane (11). During the investigation of the condensation of (5) with (8), with Li2CO3 used as a base the Li+ cation is carried over as the comp...

1'-Diphenylphosphino-1-{[(2-(methylthio)ethyl)amino]carbonyl}ferrocene (1), accessible via amidation of 1'-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene-1-carboxylic acid (Hdpf) with 2-(methylthio)ethylamine, reacts with [PdCl2(cod)] (cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene) at a 1 : 1 metal-to-ligand ratio to give trans-[PdCl2(1-κ(2)P,S)] (trans-2) as the sole product. A similar reaction with [PtCl2(cod)] affords a mixture ...

The cover picture presents a structural motif of distorted Pd2Cl2 square in solid PdCl(NO). This iconic compound was firstly synthesized during outstanding research the late 1950s Munich, which led to development Wacker process for conversion ethene into acetaldehyde by catalysis with PdCl2. More than sixty years after its synthesis, crystals PdCl(NO) were prepared first time and structure dete...

A tiara-like octanuclear palladium thiolate complex, [Pd(μ-SCH2CO2Me)2]8, that has a toroidal structure was synthesized via reactions of either PdCl2 with methyl thioglycolate/N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIEA) (conventional method) or [PdCl2(MeCN)2] with m-C6H4(CMe2SCH2CO2Me)2 (alternative method). In the latter method, the tiara-like complex formed via the corresponding SCS-pincer complex and/o...
