Rotating disk electrode study of the kinetics of formation of palladium(II) ethylenediaminechloride complexes from palladium(II) bis-ethylenediamine complexes

The kinetics of substitution of chloride ions for ethylendiamine in a bis-ethylenediamine complex of palladium(II) is studied in solutions with pH 0.3–2.0 and the ionic strength of 0.11–1.0 M by measuring the transients of limiting diffusion currents of the electroreduction of palladium(II) ethylenediamine complexes on a rotating disk electrode. The first reaction orders in hydrogen and chloride ions are found at the ionic strength of 1 M (NaClO₄). The activation energy of the homogeneous reaction under study is determined from the temperature dependence of its rate constant. The mechanism of substitution of chloride ions for ethylenediamine is discussed.     

Reduction kinetics of glycinate complexes of palladium(II) on a dropping-mercury electrode in acid perchlorate solutions

Polarograms for the reduction of glycinate complexes of palladium(II) (5 × 10^?5 M) are obtained in equilibrium solutions of pH 0.8–3.0 with different protonated-glycine concentrations c _Hgly (supporting electrolyte, 0.5 M NaClO₄). It is established that the irreversible wave of reduction of complexes Pd(gly)₂ corresponds to the diffusion limiting current I _d ⁽²⁾ . A similar wave at pH 1.5 and c _Hgly = 0.005 M, as well as at pH 1.0 and c _Hgly = 0.05–0.5 M is preceded by the diffusion limiting current I _d ⁽¹⁾ . Values of the I _d ⁽²⁾ /I _d ⁽¹⁾ ratio are close to the ratio between equilibrium concentrations of Pd(gly)₂] and [Pdgly⁺], calculated using the step stability constant for Pd(gly)₂. This fact testifies to the reduction of complexes Pdgly⁺ in the vicinity of I _d ⁽¹⁾ and complexes Pd(gly)₂, in the vicinity of I _d ⁽²⁾ . At pH 0.8–1.2 and [H₂gly⁺] = 1 × 10^?4 to 5 × 10^?3 there is observed the diffusion-kinetic limiting current of the first wave I ₁ ⁽¹⁾ , which increases with increasing [H⁺] and decreasing [H₂gly⁺]. The nature of the slow preceding chemical stage that occurs during the reduction of complexes Pdgly⁺ is discussed.     

Syntheses and characterization of nickel(II), zinc(II) and palladium(II) complexes derived from three pyrazole-based polydentate ligands

Two pyrazole-based polydentate ligands, 1,3-bis(5-methyl-3-phenylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol (Hmppzpo) and 1,3-bis(5-methyl-3-p-isopropylphenylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol (Hmcpzpo), have been synthesized. A third ligand, 1,3-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol (Hdmpzpo), has been synthetically modified. Seven new M(II) coordination compounds of general formula M₂L₂X₂ (M?=?Zn, Ni; X?=?NO₃ or ClO₄; L?=?dmpzpo, mppzpo or mcpzpo) or MLX (M?=?Pd; L?=?dmpzpo; X?=?Cl) were synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis and FT-IR analysis. The crystal structures of [Zn₂(μ-dmpzpo-O,N,N′)₂(NO₃)₂]?·?2H₂O (1?·?2H₂O), [Ni₂(μ-dmpzpo-O,N,N′)₂(CH₃CN)₂](ClO₄)₂ (2) and Pd(μ-dmpzpo-N,N′)Cl₂ (4) were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The crystal structures show that complexes 1?·?2H₂O and 2 are center-symmetric dinuclear compounds, with two metal ions bridged by two alkoxo groups and each metal ion with a distorted square-pyramidal environment. The palladium complex, 4, displayed square-planar coordination geometry around the Pd(II) ion with trans arrangement.     

Ethylenediamine and Hydroxyethylenediamine Complexes of Zinc(II): A Potentiometric Study of Composition and Stability

The equilibrium potential of saturated zinc amalgam is studied as a function of concentration of free ethylenediamine molecules, [en], in the region [en] 0.001–1 M in solutions of pH 9.5, 10.5, and 11.5. At the concentration of zinc(II) ions 2 × 10^–3 M and [en] = 1 M only simple trisethylenediamine complexes of zinc(II) form in all the solutions. At smaller [en] and pH 9.5 and 10.5, complexes Zn(en)₂ ²⁺ and Zn(en)₂OH⁺ are also present; these are complemented at pH 11.5 by Zn(en)₂(OH)₂ at [en] 0.005–0.1 M. Stability constants for these complexes are calculated.     

Potentiometric studies of the interaction of amine-bridged dinuclear palladium(II) complex with nitrogen bases

Complexes formed by interaction of trans-diamminepalladium(II) chloride (Pd^II) with 1,6-hexanediamine (HDA) and nitrogen bases (B) (imidazole derivatives or methylamine) are investigated at 25°C and 0.1?mol?L^?1 NaNO₃ ionic strength using potentiometric measurements. The stability constants of all possible mononuclear and binuclear complexes were determined. The concentration distribution diagram of the binuclear Pd^II-HDA-Im derivative reveals the complexes predominating in the physiological pH range; the reaction of the binuclear Pd^II-HDA-Pd^II with imidazole derivatives is quite feasible.

Synthesis and vibrational study of platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes of glyoxilic acid oxime

New platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes of glyoxilic acid oxime (gao) have been prepared and characterised by infrared (4000–150 cm⁻¹) and Raman (4000–200 cm⁻¹) spectra. The gao acts as bidentate ligand bonding through the oxime nitrogen and carboxyl oxygen atoms to form neutral bis-chelate square-planar complexes. The lowest energy conformer of the gao ligand (ectt) was selected among 16 theoretically possible conformers on the basis of ab initio calculations at HF/3-21G*, HF/6-31G* and HF/6-311** levels of the theory from which structural parameters and conformational stabilities have been obtained. A complete vibrational assignment of the gao was performed for the lowest energy ectt conformer on the basis of ab initio optimised parameters and normal coordinate analysis calculations (PED). NCA calculations of the complexes studied were also performed.     

Potentiometric determination of silver(I), palladium(II) and gold(III) in mixtures by use of an iodide-selective electrode

Two procedures are proposed for the potentiometric determination of Ag(I), Pd(II) and Au(III) in binary mixtures, by titration with potassium iodide solution, and use of a commercial iodide electrode as sensor. In the first procedure, two aliquots of the mixture are titrated, at pH 2.0 ± 0.2 and 9.0 ± 0.2, adjusted with dilute sulphuric acid and ammonia solution. At pH 2.0, the titrant reacts with both metals, whereas at pH 9.0, Ag(I) is the only reactant. The second procedure utilizes titration of two aliquots of the mixture in the presence and absence of a selective masking agent. The methods have been applied to the determination of these metals in some jewellery alloys.     

Potentiometric and spectrometric study: Copper(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes with potentially tridentate and monodentate ligands

Equilibrium and solution structural study of mixed-metal-mixed-ligand complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) with L-cysteine, L-threonine and imidazole are conducted in aqueous solution by potentiometry and spectrophotometry. Stability constants of the binary, ternary and quaternary complexes are determined at 25 ±1°C and in I= 0.1 M NaClO₄. The results of these two methods are made selfconsistent, then rationalized assuming an equilibrium model including the species H₃A, H₂A, A, BH, B, M(OH), M(OH)₂, M(A), MA(OH), M(B), M(A)(B), M₂(A)₂(B), M₂(A)₂(B-H), M¹M²(A)₂(B) and M¹M²(A)₂(B-H) (where the charges of the species have been ignored for the sake of simplicity) (A = L-cysteine, L-threonine, salicylglycine, salicylvaline and BH = imidazole). Evidence of the deprotonation of BH ligand is available at alkalinepH. N₁H deprotonation of the bidentate coordinated imidazole ligand in the binuclear species atpH > 70 is evident from spectral measurements. Stability constants of binary M(A), M(B) and ternary M(A)(B) complexes follow the Irving-Williams order.     

X-ray crystal structures of novel platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes of dialkyl phosphonated phosphines

Two diethyl phosphonated phosphine ligands of formula Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PO₃Et₂ (ligand L) and Ph₂P(4-C₆H₄PO₃Et₂) (ligand L′) were used to prepare different complexes of platinum(II) (1, cis-PtCl₂L₂; 2, trans-PtCl₂L₂·H₂O; 3A and 3B, cis- and trans-PtCl₂L′₂) and palladium(II) (4, [PdCl₂L]₂; 5, trans-PdCl₂L₂·H₂O; 6, trans-PdCl₂L′₂·CH₂Cl₂). The single-crystal X-ray structure analyses of complexes 1, 2, 4-6 indicate that complexation involved only the phosphine end, whereas the strong polarization of the PO bond was highlighted by the formation of hydrogen bonds with a water molecule in 2 and 5, and with a dichloromethane molecule in 6, with an exceptionally short CH?O hydrogen bond length (C?O separation 3.094(3) Å).     

Facile synthesis of achiral and chiral PCN pincer palladium(II) complexes and their application in the Suzuki and copper-free Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions

Five non-symmetrical PCN pincer palladium(II) complexes [PdCl{C₆H₃-2-(CHNR)-6-()}] (R = m-ClC₆H₄, R′ = Ph (2a); R = Ph, R′ = Ph (2b); R = i-Pr, R′ = Ph (2c); R = m-ClC₆H₄, R′ = i-Pr (2d); R = (S)-1-phenylethyl, R′ = Ph (2e)) have been easily prepared in only two steps from readily available m-hydroxybenzaldehyde and characterized by HRMS, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ³¹P NMR and IR spectra. The molecular structures of 2a and 2b have been further determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The obtained Pd complexes were found to be effective catalysts for the Suzuki and copper-free Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions which could be carried out in the undried solvent under air.     

Kinetics of reduction of palladium(II) complexes with ethylamine on a dropping-mercury electrode

The reduction kinetics of palladium(II) complexes containing ethylamine is studied on a dropping-mercury electrode in solutions of pH 8–13.5 with different ethylamine concentrations in the presence of sodium perchlorate. An irreversible character of the reduction and a diffusion nature of limiting currents are established. Parameters of electrochemical kinetics and diffusion coefficient for the complexes are determined. At pH 11 and 12, the half-wave potential is independent of the ethylamine concentration in the concentration range 0.01 to 0.1 M. Tetraethylamine complexes of palladium(II) predominate in solution and presumably take part in the slow electrochemical step. Raising ethylamine concentration to 2 M makes E _1/2 more negative, due to specific ethylamine adsorption. Limiting currents of two waves, which occur at pH 8 and overall ethylamine concentration 0.01–0.02 M, are used to calculate two constants. One is the step stability constant for complex Pd(eta) ₄ ²⁺ . The other is the equilibrium constant for deprotonation of a ligand in Pd(eta) ₄ ²⁺ , which occurs at pH 13.1–13.5 and ethylamine concentrations 1 and 2 M.     

Comparative study on the photophysical properties between carbene-based Fe (II) and Ru (II) complexes

The comparative study on the photophysical properties between cheap metal Fe (II) complexes and noble metal Ru (II) complexes with identical ligand coordination is performed by the combination of density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to evaluate the potential alternative applications of Fe (II) complexes. RuBIP (BIP = 2,6-bis (imidazol-2- ylidene)pyridine) is theoretically established that the radiative lifetime of the second lowest triplet state is more consistence with experimental value. However, FeBIP retains nonluminous because of low-lying ³MC originated from weak d orbital splitting. FeBIPC (FeBIP with carboxylic acid groups) has twice longer lifetime than its parent complex FeBIP due to the great decrease of the energy gap between ³MLCT and ³MC. What's more, the lifetimes of Fe (II) complexes detected in the experiments are more accessible to nonradiative decay lifetimes of ³MC. The carboxylic acid groups are beneficial for the improvement of luminescent possibility and controllability of Fe (II) complexes, while there is still a huge challenge for effective material replacement comparing with Ru (II) complexes.     

Preparation of Palladium(II) and Platinum(II) Phosphine Complexes Promoted by Phase-Transfer Catalysts

The synthesis of M(PR₃)₂Cl₂ (M = Pd and Pt, R = alkyl or aryl) front K₂MCl₄ (in H₂O) and PR₃ (in CH₂Cl₂) was promoted by the addition of phase-transfer catalysts (PTC). The greater the amount of PTC used, the more quickly the reaction completed. ³¹P NMR spectra of some M(PR₃)₂Cl₂ in the presence of free PR₃ were measured; these NMR resulls were used to explain problems encountered during the preparations.

Metallomicelles of palladium(II) complexes as efficient catalysts for the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction in neat water

Metallomicelles of palladium(II) complex 4 are found to be an efficient catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura reactions of aryl bromides substituted with a long alkyl chain and arylboronic acids at 80 °C in neat water. The reactions proceed smoothly to generate the corresponding biaryl compounds in moderate to excellent yields. Various biphenyl derivatives were successfully obtained by complex 4 catalysis of the Suzuki–Miyaura reactions in the absence of any surfactants in neat water.

Studies of thermal decomposition of palladium(II) complexes with olefin ligands

Thermal decomposition kinetics of ML₂ (M = Ni(II) and Co(II); L = 5-(2-(1,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)hydrazono)-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione) complexes were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The first decomposition process of the NiL₂ and CoL₂ complexes occurs in the temperature range of 320–350 °C. Kinetics parameters corresponding to this step, such as activation energy, E_α, and apparent pre-exponential factor, ln A_aap, were calculated from the thermogravimetric data at the heating rates of 5, 10, 15 and 20 K min⁻¹ by differential (Friedman's equation) and integral (Flynn–Wall–Ozawa's equation) methods. The results show that the activation energy evidently depends on the extent of conversion. As far as their activation energy is concerned, NiL₂ complex shows a higher thermal stability than the CoL₂ complex.     

Preparation of palladium complexes of 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)propane derivatives and their use in norbornene polymerization

A variety of neutral palladium(II) complexes [Pd(L–L)Cl₂] containing 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)propane (1), 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-2-pentylpropane (2), 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-2-phenylpropane (3a), 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-2-tolylpropane (4), and 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-2-ferrocenylpropane (5) as chelate ligands (L–L) have been synthesized. The crystal structures of 1,3-diphenyl-2,4-di-pyridin-2-yl-butan-1-ol (3b), 5, [(2)PdCl₂], [(4)PdCl₂], and [(5)PdCl₂] have been determined and show a square planar geometry at palladium(II). The neutral complexes were tested in the polymerization of norbornene and copolymerization of norbornene with norbornene derivatives. The complex bearing the pentyl group exhibited high reactivity to give up to 5.9×10⁵ in molecular weight for the homopolymerization. When [(4)PdCl₂] or [(5)PdCl₂] was used as a catalyst, homopolymers insoluble at 150 °C in trichlorobenzene were obtained. However, copolymerization of norbornene with norbornene derivatives 8a–d catalyzed by [(4)PdCl₂] gave soluble copolymers with molecular weights up to 5.1×10⁵.
