The functionalisation of two neighboring beta-pyrrolic positions of a porphyrin by a fused N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, the subsequent metallation of this external coordination site by palladium(II) and the structural characterisation of the resulting compounds are presented.

Palladium(II) acetate, in combination with triphenylphosphine, catalyzes direct arylation of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles effectively. This C-H arylation reaction provides facile access to fully substituted triazoles with well-defined regiochemistry.

The anion-assisted shift of trans-cis isomerization equilibrium of a palladium(II) complex containing acetanilide functionalities brought about by allosteric hydrogen bonding interactions has been established by UV/Vis, 1H NMR, 31P NMR and ESI-MS studies.

The catalytic activity and selectivity of palladium(II) complexes of new, flexible bidentate ligands in the CO/ethene copolymerization reaction have been found to change considerably with the steric properties of the ligands.

A palladium(II)-catalyzed direct alkenylation reaction of dihydropyranones was developed. Various substituted dihydropyranones could afford the desired products in reasonable yields. And different acrylates were found to be good coupling partners in this coupling reaction. A Pd(0)/Pd(II) catalytic pathway was proposed to be involved in this coupling reaction.

Exo-functionalized Pd2L4 cage compounds with attached Ru(ii) pyridine complexes were prepared via coordination-driven self-assembly. Unlike most of the previously reported palladium(ii) cages, one of these metallocages exhibits an exceptionally high quantum yield of 66%. The presented approach is promising to obtain luminescent coordination complexes for various applications.

Palladium(II) catalyzed carbonylation of 1-ethynyl-1-propargyl acetate is described; in the absence of the bisoxazoline (box) ligand, the second triple bond did not react, affording cyclic orthoesters and . The use of meso-Phbox-Pd(ii) strikingly changed the course of the reaction, yielding bicyclic lactone by tandem carbonylative cyclization as a result of insertion of the second triple bond.

two newly-created water-soluble complexes of palladium(ii)/platinum(ii)-dithiocarbamate, [pd/pt(phen)(pyr-dtc)]no3 (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and pyr-dtc = pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate) were synthesized. also, their chemical characteristics are reported in the current research paper. in these complexes, the dithiocarbamato ligand coordinates to pt(ii) or pd(ii) center with two sulfur atoms as bi...

A novel palladium-catalyzed cyclization of bromoacrylamides with isocyanides gives substituted 2,5-diimino-furans, which can be used as the precursor of maleamides. This synthesis likely proceeds, after isonitrile insertion into C–Pd(II) bond, through the coordination of the amide oxygen atom to the Pd(II) centre as a key step.

A new and efficient Pd(II)/AgNO₃-cocatalyzed homocoupling of aromatic terminal alkynes is described. Various symmetrical 1,4-disubstituted-1,3-diynes are obtained in good to excellent yields. This protocol employs a loading with relatively low palladium(II) in aqueous media under aerobic conditions.
