Aromatic fluorides are prevalent in both agrochemical and pharmaceutical agents. However, methods for their rapid and general preparation from widely available starting materials are limited. Traditional approaches such as the Balz-Schiemann and Halex reactions require harsh conditions that limit functional group tolerance and substrate scope. The use of transition metals to affect C-F bond for...

The detection of dissolved gas in transformer oil is vital importance to diagnose the early fault and monitor security stability power systems. In this work, distinct Pd/C, Pd/C-R Pd/NC were synthesized evaluated. XRD XPS characterizations show that both Pd0 PdII are presented over surface carbon host for while poor gas-sensitive properties H2-reduced sample. High content cationic species by ni...

Bis-N-heterocyclic carbenes Pd0 complexes, Pd(NHC)2, are efficient catalysts in Heck reactions performed with aryl bromides or chlorides. The Pd(NHC)2 that are not stable are generated in situ from PdII precursors PdY2(NHC)2 (Y = halides) after a chemical reduction. The latter procedure can be mimicked by an electrochemical reduction. The transient Pd(NHCBn)2 is generated by electrochemical red...
