The title solvated complex, [FePd(C5H5)(C12H13N2S)Cl(C18H15P)2]PF6·2CHCl3, bearing a chiral ferrocenyl pyrrolo-imidazolyl-idene N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, was synthesized by oxidative addition of a chloro-imidazolium salt to Pd(PPh3)4. The PdII ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry, with the Cl atom trans to the coordinating C atom of the pyrro...

The site-selective functionalization of C−H bonds within a complex molecule remains challenging task capital synthetic importance. Herein, an unprecedented Pd-catalyzed C(sp2)−H alkoxycarbonylation phenylalanine derivatives and other amines featuring picolinamide as the directing group (DG) is reported. This oxidative coupling distinguished by its scalability, operational simplicity, avoids use...

Soluble polymer-supported convergent synthesis has for the first time been successfully exploited for parallel library synthesis; sub-libraries of tripeptide iodoarenes and arylboronic acids reacted smoothly in a multipolymer PdII-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction to generate a library of bisaryl-linked hexapeptides.

1,2,3-Ferrocenyl triazole ligands generated by click reactions in dendrimers bind Pd(OAc)2 with a systematic one-to-one stoichiometry as monitored by titration using the ferrocenyl redox sensor attached to the triazole ring, and the dendritic PdII complexes formed are best reduced by methanol to form palladium nanoparticles of designed types and sizes that show excellent efficiency and selectiv...

Reaction of [enM(H2O)2](NO3)2 (en = ethylenediamine, M = PdII, PtII) with 2-hydroxypyrimidine (Hpymo) in water results in self-assembly to cyclic complexes of type [enM(pymo-N1,N3)]4(NO3)4 (1, M = PdII; 2, M = PtII) which are structurally analogous to calix[4]arenes. The tetranuclear cations in compounds 1 and 2 adopt, in the solid state, a 1,3-alternate orientation of the pymo residues. Attemp...

Stepwise construction of a 1D heterotrimetallic coordination polymer containing all three group 10 metal ions via an ammineplatinum(ii) metalloligand with d-penicillamine is reported. This system showed a significant enhancement in heterogeneous catalytic activity for electrochemical hydrogen evolution by the stepwise introduction of PdII and NiII into the PtII metalloligand.

Catalytic asymmetric oxidation-chemistry involving heteroatom transfer from a reagent to a substrate is perhaps unparalleled in synthetic utility for the construction of enantioenriched materials.[1] Conversely, there is a significant deficiency of asymmetric two-electron oxidations that do not involve heteroatom transfer. Some potentially valuable reactions of this type include the oxidation o...

2-Ynamides can be synthesised through PdII catalysed oxidative carbonylation, utilising low catalyst loadings. A variety of alkynes and amines can be used to afford 2-ynamides in high yields, whilst overcoming the drawbacks associated with previous oxidative methods, which rely on dangerous solvents and gas mixtures. The use of [NBu4 ]I allows the utilisation of the industrially recommended sol...
