Cyclic glyoxalcarbohydrazone[(1,2,4,5,8,9,11,12-octaazacyclotetradeca-5,7,12,14tetraene-3,10-dione) = (glyozalcarbzH)2] complexes of Ni II, PdII, CoII, ZnII and CdII of composition M (glyoxalcarbzH)2X2nH2O (M = Ni II, PdII, CoII,ZnII or CdII and X = Cl> , 1/2 SO4 -2 and n = 0,1 or 4) have been isolated by refluxing appropriate metal salts with glyoxal and carbohydrazide in requisite proportion ...

A new series of PdII complexes derived from thiosemicarbazone has been synthesized. The synthesized PdII complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, FT-IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, UV/VIS, and thermal studies. A square-planar geometry has been assigned around PdII ions on the basis of results obtained from UV/VIS studies. The thiosemicarbazone ligand and its PdII complexes hav...

A facile large-scale synthesis of the “push–pull”-substituted ligand bis(diethylamino)(pentafluorophenyl)phosphane is reported. A selenophosphorane as well as complexes with CuI and PdCl2, can be formed almost quantitatively from suitable starting materials. The PdII complex shows a square-planar coordination with significant distortions of the Cl–Pd–Cl moiety in the solid state. In contrast, t...

The direct functionalization of carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds has emerged as a versatile strategy for the synthesis and derivatization of organic molecules. Among the methods for C-H bond activation, catalytic processes that utilize a PdII/PdIV redox cycle are increasingly common. The C-H activation step in most of these catalytic cycles is thought to occur at a PdII centre. However, a number of ...

Abstract: The anionic polymerization of 1-phosphaisoprene [Mes*P=C(Me)−CH=CH2 (E-1)] affords poly(1-phosphaisoprene) 2 in high yield (75%). Concentrated solutions polymer (Mn = 21,800 g mol–1; Đ 1.02) a P-analogue natural rubber, undergo gelation upon treatment with [Pd(cod)Cl2] (0.15 P equiv). Evidence for P-coordination to PdII was obtained by 31P and 1H NMR spectroscopy. is reversed the addi...

[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 binuclear title complex, di-μ-iodido-bis(-{2-[(benzylamino-κN)meth-yl]phenyl-κC1}palladium(II)), [Pd2I2(C14H14N)2], was prepared by reaction of [Pd{C6H4(CH2NHCH2Ph)-2}(μ-OAc)]2 with NaI. It crystallizes with one discrete mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The mol-ecule presents an iodide-bridged dimeric structure with a cisoid arrangement with respect to the C,N-cyclo-palladated ligands. Bot...

Synthetic self-assembly is a powerful technique for the bottom-up construction of discrete and well-defined polyhedral nanostructures resembling the spherical shape of large biological systems. In recent years, numerous Archimedean-shaped coordination cages have been reported based on the assembly of bent monodentate organic ligands containing two or more distal pyridyl rings and square-planar ...

The unsymmetrical α-di-imine ligand N-{2-[2,6-bis-(propan-2-yl)phenylimino]pentan-3-yl-idene}-2,6-bis-(propan-2-yl)aniline, [ArN=C(Me)-(Et)C=NAr] [Ar = 2,6-(iPr)2C6H3], (I), and the corresponding palladium complex, cis-(N-{2-[2,6-bis-(propan-2-yl)phenylimino]pentan-3-yl-idene}-2,6-bis-(propan-2-yl)aniline)di-chlor-ido-palladium(II) 1,2-di-chloro-ethane monosolvate, [PdCl2(C29H42N2)]·C2H4Cl2 or ...
