Development of Novel Hemilabile Segphos P-P=O Ligands

Versatile coordination modes of novel hemilabile S-NHC ligands.

The Ag(I) and hemilabile Pd(II) carbene complexes obtained from novel thioether-functionalized imidazolium salts synthesised in one-step illustrate the diversity of coordination modes of these new S, C(NHC) ligands.

Mechanism of alkyne alkoxycarbonylation at a Pd catalyst with P,N hemilabile ligands: a density functional study.

A detailed mechanism for alkyne alkoxycarbonylation mediated by a palladium catalyst has been characterised at the B3PW91-D3/PCM level of density functional theory (including bulk solvation and dispersion corrections). This transformation, investigated via the methoxycarbonylation of propyne, involves a uniquely dual role for the P,N hemilabile ligand acting co-catalytically as both an in situ ...

Mono- and binuclear complexes of rhodium involving a new series of hemilabile o-phosphinoaniline ligands.

Monophosphines of the type Ph(x)PAr(3-x) (x = 0, 1 or 2, Ar = o-N-methylanilinyl) and the diphosphine, Ar(2)PCH(2)PAr(2) (mapm) have been synthesized for use as chelating and/or bridging P,N-ligands within mono- and binuclear rhodium(i) complexes, respectively. The previously prepared phosphines, Ph(x)PAr'(3-x) (x = 0, 1 or 2, Ar' = o-N,N-dimethylanilinyl) and Ar'(2)PCH(2)PAr'(2) (dmapm), have ...

Cationic Rhodium Complexes with Hemilabile Phosphine Ligands as Polymerization Catalyst for High Molecular Weight Stereoregular Polyphenylacetylene

Fine-tuning monophosphine ligands for enhanced enantioselectivity. Influence of chiral hemilabile pendant groups.

[reaction: see text] C(2)-Symmetric P-(2-X-aryl)-2,5-dialkylphospholanes (X = dioxolan-2-yl or dioxan-2-yl), designed on the basis of a working model for asymmetric induction, are effective ligands for the Ni(II)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrovinylation of styrenes. Excellent yields (>99%), selectivities for the desired 3-arylbutenes (>99%), high S/C ratios (>1200), and ee's (up to 91%) have been r...
