In developing environmentally benign chemistries, it is most important to use dioxygen directly in lieu of toxic and/or corrosive stoichiometric oxidants. Unfortunately, for many processes such direct oxidations have not yet become practical. To help develop such processes, we elucidate here the mechanism for the reaction of molecular oxygen with toluene-solvated palladium-hydride complex using...

A palladium complex derived from air-stable TADDOLP(O)H catalyzes efficiently Hiyama, Stille, Kumada and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions of aryl and vinyl chlorides.

Nickel(II) of 0.04-1.4 mmol dm-3 and palladium(II) of 1-32 μmol dm-3 were extracted quantitatively into chloroform from the aqueous phases containing 0.2 mol dm-3 and 2 mmol dm-3 0,0'-diethyldithiophosphate(dtp-) at pH 1-7 and 1-13, and determined at 385 nm (c=8.4x 102 mol-' dm3 cm-') and 298 nm (e=2.9x 104 mol-' dm3 cm-'), respectively. The determination of nickel was affected with many divers...

A very small amount of a palladium benzylic complex as initiator brings about the vinylic addition polymerization reluctant 5-vinyl-2-norbornene.

Mono- and polynuclear complexes containing 3-(1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yl)-1-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)imidazolylidene (L), [NiL(2)](PF(6))(2) (2), [CoL(2)](PF(6))(3) (3), [PtLCl](PF(6)) (4), [PdAgL(2)](PF(6))(3) (5), [PdCuL(2)](PF(6))(3) (6), [Pd(2)L(2)Cl(2)](PF(6))(2) (7), and [Pd(3)L(2)Cl(4)](PF(6))(2) (8) have been prepared and fully characterized by NMR, ESI-MS spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallograph...

Cationic palladium(II) complexes have been found to be highly reactive towards aromatic C-H activation of arylureas at room temperature. A commercially available catalyst [Pd(MeCN)4](BF4)2 or a nitrile-free cationic palladium(II) complex generated in situ from the reaction of Pd(OAc)2 and HBF4, effectively catalyzes C-H activation/cross-coupling reactions between aryl iodides, arylboronic acids...

A palladium (II) complex {[(PhCH2O)2P(CH3)2CHNCH(CH3)2]2PdCl2} catalyzed Hiyama cross-coupling reaction between aryl bromides and arylsilanes has been developed. The substituted biaryls were produced in moderate to high yields, regardless of electron-withdrawing or electron-donating.

Palladium complexes containing 2,7-bis(mesitylimidazolylidenyl)naphthyridine (NHC-NP) have been synthesized and characterized. Reaction of [{Ag(3)(NHC-NP)(2)}(PF(6))(3)] with [Pd(PhCN)(2)Cl(2)] provided an unusual dipalladium complex bridged by two NHC-NP units, forming a 20-membered dinuclear metallacycle [{Pd(2)(NHC-NP)(2)Cl(2)}(PF(6))] (2) in high yield. Treatment of 2 with KI in acetone yie...

Palladium isolation and refining through solvent extraction suffer from limited stability of commercial reagents or availability robust in nitrate media. Several performing solvents based on diamide have been proposed, but their preparation requires synthetic chemistry skills. In the present work, we propose use readily accessible N,N,N’,N’-tetrahexylmalonamide (THMA). This reagent revealed sup...

A new fluorous PCP pincer ligand has been coordinated to Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II). The air stable palladium complex, which promotes Heck reactions between methyl acrylate and either aryl bromides or iodides, can be recovered intact by fluorous solid-phase extraction and was reused four times in the Heck reaction between methyl acrylate and 4-bromoacetophenone without loss in catalytic activity.
