aminocarboxylic acids, such as 2-aminobenzoic acid, react easily with [ir(cod)(pme3)3]cl, (cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene), in thf to produce hydridoaminocarboxylato iridium(iii) complexes in high yields. these octahedral complexes are formed via oxidative addition reaction of the o-h bond of the carboxylic group with the central metal. the starting iridium(i) complex losses the cod molecule, the chlor...

[PdI2(μ-PPh2)(μ2-OAc)(PPh3)2] is the reduction product of PdII(OAc)2(PPh3)2, generated by reaction ‘Pd(OAc)2’ with two equivalents PPh3. Here, we report that PPh3 results in a nuanced disproportionation reaction, forming [Pd0(PPh3)3] and phosphinito-bridged PdI-dinuclear complex, namely [PdI2(μ-PPh2){κ2-P,O-μ-P(O)Ph2}(κ-PPh3)2]. The latter complex proposed to form abstraction an oxygen atom fro...

The title compound, hexa-kis-[μ3-1,2-bis-(tri-fluoro-meth-yl)ethene-1,2-di-thiol-ato]-octa-hedro-hexa-palladium(II), [Pd(C4F6S2)]6, crystallizes as its benzene solvate, [Pd(tfd)]6·2.5C6H6, where tfd is the di-thiol-ene S2C2(CF3)2. The mol-ecular structure of [Pd(tfd)]6 is of the hexa-metallic cube type seen previously in three examples of hexa-meric homoleptic palladium monodi-thiol-ene structu...

Catalytic transformations involving Pd s-alkyl or s-aryl intermediates are widely used in organic synthesis and offer attractive routes to many valuable products. However, the vast majority of these reactions proceed by Pd/Pd mechanisms. As a result, the diversity of structures/bonds that can be constructed is constrained by the limitations of this redox cycle. Recent studies have explored the ...

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...
