The synthesis and characterization of a mixed metal ruthenium(ii)/gold(iii) complex bridged by tetrapyridophenazine (tpphz) are described. It is isostructural and isoelectronic to the well-known photocatalysts with palladium(ii) or platinum(ii). Concentration dependent (1)H-NMR spectroscopy and XRD studies show that the electrostatic repulsion between the gold(iii) moieties exceeds the attracti...

New reaction conditions for intramolecular palladium(II)-catalyzed oxidative carbon-carbon bond formation under air are described. The use of pivalic acid as the reaction solvent, instead of acetic acid, results in greater reproducibility, higher yields, and broader scope. This includes the use of electron-rich diarylamines as illustrated in the synthesis of three naturally occurring carbazole ...

Substitution-inert, redox- and photo-active ruthenium(II) complexes based on 2,2',6',2''-terpyridine ligands were self-assembled into discrete supramolecular cages via coordination to palladium(II) centres and characterised by NMR, ESI-MS and X-ray crystallography.

The title compound, [PdCl(2)(C(9)H(21)P)(2)], is a centrosymmetric mononuclear palladium(II) complex. The Pd(II) atom, which lies on an inversion center, is in a square-planar geometry.

The title complex, [PdCl2(C8H14N2O)2]·2H2O, was obtained by N-O bond cleavage of the oxa-diazo-line rings of the trans-[di-chlorido-bis-(2,5,5-trimethyl-5,6,7,7a-tetra-hydro-pyrrolo-[1,2-b][1,2,4]oxa-diazole-N1)]palladium(II) complex. The palladium(II) atom exhibits an almost square-planar coordination provided by two trans-arranged chloride anions and a nitro-gen atom from each of the two neut...
