Syntheses and Characterizations of Two Palladium(II) Complexes of 5‐Mercapto‐1‐methyltetrazole

Reaction of PdCl₂(CH₃CN)₂ with the sodium salt of 5‐mercapto‐1‐methyltetrazole (MetzSNa) in methanol solution affords an interesting dinuclear palladium complex [Pd₂(MetzS)₄ ] ( 1 ). However, treatment of PdCl₂(CH₃CN)₂ with neutral MetzSH ligand in methanol solution produces a mononuclear palladium complex [Pd(MetzSH)₄]Cl₂ ( 2 ). Both complexes were characterized by IR, ¹HNMR, UV‐Vis spectroscopy as well as X‐ray crystallography. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses of two complexes lead to the elucidation of the structures and show that 1 possesses an asymmetric structure: one Pd atom is tetracoordinated by three sulfur atoms and one nitrogen atom to form PdS₃N coordination sphere, the other Pd atom is tetracoordinated by three nitrogen atoms and one sulfur atom to form PdSN₃ coordination sphere. The molecules of 1 are associated to 1‐D infinite linear chain by weak intermolecular Pd···S contacts in the crystal lattice. In 2 , the Pd atom lies on an inversion center and has a square‐planar coordination involving the S atoms from four MetzSH ligands. The two chloride ions are not involved in coordination, but are engaged in hydrogen bonding.     

Ligandverhalten von P‐funktionellen Organozinnhalogeniden: Nickel(II)‐, Palladium(II)‐ und Platin(II)‐halogenid‐Komplexe mit Me2(Cl)SnCH2CH2PPh2

Ligand Behaviour of P‐functional Organotin Halides: Nickel(II), Palladium(II), and Platinum(II) Complexes with Me₂(Cl)SnCH₂CH₂PPh₂ Me₂(Cl)SnCH₂CH₂PPh₂ ( 1 ) reacts with Ni^II, Pd^II, and Pt^II halides in molar ratio 2 : 1 forming the complexes [MX₂{PPh₂CH₂CH₂Sn(Cl)Me₂}₂] (M = Ni, Pd, Pt; X = Cl, Br) ( 3 – 6 , 9 , 10 ) ( 7 , 8 : M = Ni; Br instead of Cl). The nickel complexes were isolated and characterized both as the planar ( 3 , 5 , 7 ) and the tetrahedral ( 4 , 6 , 8 ) isomer. Crystal structure analyses and NMR data indicate for the planar nickel complexes 3 , 5 , 7 and [MCl₂{PPh₂CH₂CH₂Sn(Cl)Me₂}₂] ( 9 : M = Pd; 10 : M = Pt) the existence of intra and intermolecular M–Hal…Sn bridges. In a ligand : metal molar ratio of 3 : 1 the complexes [M^éCl{PPh₂CH₂CH₂Sn^⊖Cl₂Me₂}{PPh₂CH₂CH₂Sn(Cl)Me₂}₂] ( 11 : M = Pd; 12 : M = Pt) are formed which represent intramolecular ion pairs. By dehalogenation of [PdCl₂{PPh₂CH₂CH₂Sn(Cl)Me₂}₂] ( 9 ) with sodium amalgam and graphite potassium (C₈K), respectively, the palladacycles cis‐[Pd{PPh₂CH₂CH₂SnMe₂}₂] ( 13 ) and trans‐[Pd(Cl)PPh₂CH₂CH₂SnMe₂{PPh₂CH₂CH₂Sn(Cl)Me₂}] ( 14 ) are formed. From the compounds 1 , 3 , 9 , 11 , and 12 the crystal structures are determined. All compounds are characterized by ¹H, ³¹P, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy.     

A Highly Versatile Catalyst System for the Cross‐Coupling of Aryl Chlorides and Amines

The syntheses of 2‐(di‐tert‐butylphosphino)‐N,N‐dimethylaniline ( L1 , 71 %) and 2‐(di‐1‐adamantylphosphino)‐N,N‐dimethylaniline ( L2 , 74 %), and their application in Buchwald–Hartwig amination, are reported. In combination with [Pd(allyl)Cl]₂ or [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl]₂, these structurally simple and air‐stable P,N ligands enable the cross‐coupling of aryl and heteroaryl chlorides, including those bearing as substituents enolizable ketones, ethers, esters, carboxylic acids, phenols, alcohols, olefins, amides, and halogens, to a diverse range of amine and related substrates that includes primary alkyl‐ and arylamines, cyclic and acyclic secondary amines, N? H imines, hydrazones, lithium amide, and ammonia. In many cases, the reactions can be performed at low catalyst loadings (0.5–0.02 mol % Pd) with excellent functional group tolerance and chemoselectivity. Examples of cross‐coupling reactions involving 1,4‐bromochlorobenzene and iodobenzene are also reported. Under similar conditions, inferior catalytic performance was achieved when using Pd(OAc)₂, PdCl₂, [PdCl₂(cod)] (cod=1,5‐cyclooctadiene), [PdCl₂(MeCN)₂], or [Pd₂(dba)₃] (dba=dibenzylideneacetone) in combination with L1 or L2 , or by use of [Pd(allyl)Cl]₂ or [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl]₂ with variants of L1 and L2 bearing less basic or less sterically demanding substituents on phosphorus or lacking an ortho‐dimethylamino fragment. Given current limitations associated with established ligand classes with regard to maintaining high activity across the diverse possible range of C? N coupling applications, L1 and L2 represent unusually versatile ligand systems for the cross‐coupling of aryl chlorides and amines.     

Synthesis of substituted biaryls via Suzuki,Stille and Hiyama cross‐coupling and homo‐coupling reactions by CN‐dimeric and monomeric ortho‐palladated catalysts

The catalytic activity of dimeric [Pd{C₆H₂(CH₂CH₂NH₂)–(OMe)₂,2,3}(μ‐Br)]₂ and monomeric [Pd{C₆H₂(CH₂CH₂NH₂)–(OMe)₂,2,3}Br(PPh₃)] complexes as efficient, stable and air‐ and moisture‐tolerant catalysts was investigated in the Suzuki, Stille and Hiyama cross‐coupling and homo‐coupling reactions of various aryl halides. Substituted biaryls were produced in excellent yields in short reaction times using catalytic amounts of these complexes. The monomeric complex was demonstrated to be more active than the corresponding dimeric catalyst for the cross‐coupling reaction of unreactive aryl bromides and chlorides. The combination of homogeneous metal catalysts and microwave irradiation gave higher yields of products in shorter reaction times. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Hydrocarbon‐bridged Metal Complexes. XLIX. Coordination Chemistry of Bis(ferrocenyl) substituted 1,3 Diketonates with Ruthenium, Rhodium, Iridium, and Palladium The reactions of the enolates of diferrocenoylmethane and of spacer bridged bis‐, tris‐ and tetrakis(ferrocenoyl)‐1,3‐diketones with chlorobridged compounds [(R₃P)PdCl₂]₂, [(η³‐C₃H₅)PdCl]₂, [(p‐cymene)RuCl₂]₂, [Cp*MCl₂]₂ (M = Rh, Ir) give a series of mono‐, bis‐, tris‐ and tetrakis(chelate) complexes 2 – 18 . The structures of (Ph₃P)(Cl)Pd[OC(Fe)CHC(Fc)O] ( 3 ) and (Tol₃P)(Cl) · Pd[OC(Fc)CHC(O)–C(O)CHC(Fc)O]Pd(Cl)(PTol₃) ( 11 ) were determined by X‐ray diffraction. The methine H atom of diferrocenoylmethane and of 3 was substituted by bromine using N‐bromosuccinimide. The electrophilic glycine equivalent α‐bromo‐N‐boc‐glycine ester was added to the methine C‐atom (C3) of diferrocenoylmethane and the product was used as O,O′ chelate ligand.     

Pd‐Catalyzed Cycloisomerization of 4‐Aza‐1,6‐enynes to 3‐Aza‐bicyclo[4.1.0]hept‐2‐enes

A method for the synthesis of bicyclo[4.1.0]heptenes from 1,6‐enynes through Pd‐catalyzed cycloisomerization has been developed. N‐ and O‐tethered 1,6‐enynes were successfully transformed to their corresponding 3‐aza‐ and 3‐oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptenes in reasonable‐to‐high yields using the catalysts [PdCl₂(CH₃CN)₂]/P(OPh)₃ or [Pd(maleimidate)₂(PPh₃)₂] in toluene. The computational calculations using density functional theory indicate that [PdCl₂{P(OPh)₃}] in the oxidation state Pd^II acts as the active catalyst species for the formation of 3‐azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptenes through 6‐endo‐dig cyclization.     

cis‐Dichlorido(3,6,9‐trithiabicyclo[9.3.1]pentadecane‐κ2S3,S6)palladium(II) acetonitrile 0.8‐solvate

In the title complex, [PdCl₂(C₁₂H₂₂S₃)]·0.8CH₃CN, a potentially tridentate thioether ligand coordinates in a cis‐bidentate manner to yield a square‐planar environment for the Pd^II cation [mean deviation of the Pd from the Cl₂S₂ plane = 0.0406 (7) Å]. Each square‐planar entity packs in an inverse face‐to‐face manner, giving pairs with plane‐to‐plane separations of 3.6225 (12) Å off‐set by 1.1263 (19) Å, with a Pd...Pd separation of 3.8551 (8) Å. A partial acetonitrile solvent molecule is present. The occupancy of this molecule was allowed to refine, and converged to 0.794 (10). The synthesis of the previously unreported 3,6,9‐trithiabicyclo[9.3.1]pentadecane ligand is also outlined.     

Highly efficient orthopalladated complexes of second and third benzyl amine for catalyzing the Suzuki cross‐coupling reaction

In this work, ortho‐palladated complexes [Pd(µ‐Cl)(C₆H₄CH₂ NRR′‐κ²‐C,N)]₂ and [Pd(C₆H₄CH₂NH₂‐2‐C,N)Cl(Y)] were tested in the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction. Cyclopalladated Pd(II) complexes as thermally stable catalysts can activate aryl bromides and chlorides. These complexes were active and efficient catalysts for the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction of aryl bromides and even less reactive aryl chlorides. The cross‐coupled products of a variety of aryl bromides and aryl chloride with phenylboronic acid in methanol as solvent at 60 °C were produced in excellent yields.

Synthesis,Characterization, and Structures of Palladium(II) and Platinum(II) Complexes Containing N,N‐Bis(diphenylphos­phanyl)Naphthylamine

The reaction of 1‐naphthylamine with two equivalents of chlorodiphenylphosphine in the presence of triethylamine gave the ligand C₁₀H₇‐1‐N(PPh₂)₂ ( 1 ). Reaction of 1 with PdCl₂(CH₃CN)₂ or PtCl₂(cod) (1:1 molar ratio) afforded the complexes cis‐[PdCl₂{C₁₀H₇‐1‐N(PPh₂)₂}] ( 2 ) and cis‐[PtCl₂{C₁₀H₇‐1‐N(PPh₂)₂}] ( 3 ), respectively. Compounds 1 – 3 were identified and characterized by multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR) and IR spectroscopy. Crystal structure determinations of complexes 2 and 3 were carried out.     

Synthesis,Structures, Ligand Substitution Reactions,and Electrochemistry of the Nitrile Complexes cis‐[Ru(dppm)2Cl(NCR)]+ PF6– (dppm = Bis(diphenylphosphino)methane,R = CH3, C2H5, tBu,Ph)

Isomerically pure nitrile complexes cis‐[Ru(dppm)₂Cl(NCR)]⁺ ( 2 a – d ) are formed upon chloride displacement from cis‐[Ru(dppm)₂Cl₂] ( 1 ) or, alternatively, by ligand substitution from the acetonitrile complex 2 a . This latter approach does also allow for the introduction of pyridine ( 3 a , b ), heptamethyldisilazane ( 4 ) or isonitrile ligands ( 5 ). All complexes are obtained as the configurationally stable cis‐isomers. Only cis‐[Ru(dppm)₂Cl(CN^tBu)]⁺ slowly isomerizes to the trans from. The solid state structures of the CH₃CN, C₂H₅CN and the trans‐^tBuNC complexes were established by X‐ray crystallography. Electrochemical investigations of the nitrile complexes 2 a – d show in addition to a chemically reversible one‐electron oxidation an irrversible reduction step. In CH₂Cl₂ solution, cis‐ and trans‐[Ru(dppm)₂Cl₂] have been identified as the final products of the electrochemically induced reaction sequence.     

Pd and Ni complexes of a novel vinylidene β‐diketimine ligand: Their application as catalysts in Heck coupling and alkyne trimerization

A β‐diketimine ligand with vinylidene substitution at γ‐carbon, CH₂C(CH₃CNAr)₂ (Ar = 2,6‐diisopropylphenyl) ( L ² ), was synthesized by treating β‐diketimine H₂C(CH₃CNAr)₂ with n ‐BuLi followed by paraformaldehyde. L ² formed the homobimetallic ether‐bridged β‐diketiminate complex [O{(CH₂‐β‐diketiminate)Pd(OAc)}₂] ( 1 ) with (PdOAc)₂. It also gave complexes [L²PdCl₂] ( 2 ) and [L²NiBr₂] ( 3 ) when treated with PdCl₂(CH₃CN)₂ and NiBr₂(dimethoxyethane), respectively. All the compounds were characterized using ¹H/¹³C NMR spectroscopy and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies. The catalytic activity of Pd and Ni complexes 1 , 2 and 3 was explored in Heck coupling and alkyne trimerization reactions and it was found that they are very good catalysts. The results are reported in detail.     

Four mono-/bi-nuclear palladium(II) complexes of triphenylphosphine and heterocyclic-N/NS ligands: Synthesis, structural characterization and luminescence properties

The reactions of palladium(II) chloride, PPh₃ and heterocyclic-N/NS ligand in a mixture of CH₃CN (5 ml) and CH₃OH (5 ml) produced [PdCl₂(PPh₃)(L1)]·(CH₃CN) (1) (L1 = ADMT = 3-amino-5,6-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazine), [PdCl₂(PPh₃)(L2)] (2) (L2 = 3-CNpy = 3-cyanopyridine), [PdCl(PPh₃)(L3)]₂·(CH₃CN) (3), [PdCl(PPh₃)₂(HL3)]Cl (4) (HL3 = Hmbt = 2-mercaptobenzothiazole). The coordination geometry around the Pd atoms in these complexes is a distorted square plane. In 3, L3 acts as a bidentate ligand, bridging two metal centers, while in 4, HL3 appears as monodentate ligand with one nitrogen donor atom uncoordinated. Complexes 1-4 are characterized by IR, luminescence, NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All complexes exhibit luminescence in solid state at room temperature.     

trans‐Di­chloro(1,12‐di­phenyl‐5,8‐dioxa‐2,11‐di­thia­do­decane‐S,S′)pal­ladium(II)

In the title compound, [PdCl₂(C₂₀H₂₆O₂S₂)], the Pd atom has a distorted square‐planar coordination geometry, with Pd—S distances of 2.3121 (18) and 2.3102 (18) Å, Pd—Cl distances of 2.291 (2) and 2.314 (2) Å, and S—Pd—Cl angles of 94.98 (7) and 86.25 (7)°. Upon complexation, an 11‐membered ring is formed by the S—Pd—S linkage in the ligand chain.     

Palladium complexes with bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)amino ligands and their application as catalysts for the Heck reaction

Aminomethylphosphine (P–C–N) type ligands, (Ph₂PCH₂)₂NR R = –(CH₂)₃Si(OEt₃)₃ or –CH₂CH₂OH, and their Pd(II) complexes have been synthesized. All the compounds were characterized by ¹H-, ³¹P-NMR, and elemental analysis. The complexes are proposed to have a square planar geometry. They were investigated as catalysts for the Heck reaction of aryl halides (I, Br, Cl) with methyl acrylate. Both complexes showed high activity to give methyl cinnamate in good yields, with the best turnover numbers found for [PdCl₂(Ph₂PCH₂)₂N(CH₂)₃Si(OEt)₃].

The structures of [Cl₂(Et₃P)Pd–L(CH₂)₃L–Pd(PEt₃)Cl₂] ( 1 ), [Cl₂(Bu₃P)Pd–L(CH₂)₄L–Pd(PBu₃)Cl₂] ( 10 ), [Cl₂(Et₃P)Pd–L(CH₂)₅L–Pd(PEt₃)Cl₂] ( 3 ), [Cl₂(Et₃P)Pt–L(CH₂)₃L–Pt(PEt₃)Cl₂] ( 13 ) with trans Cl–M–Cl groups were determined by X‐ray diffraction. Similarly the complexes [Cl₂(Cp*)Ir–L(CH₂)_nL–Ir(Cp*)Cl₂] (n = 4–6) are obtained from [Cp*(Cl)Ir(μ‐Cl)₂Ir(Cl)Cp*] and the methylene bridged bis(imidazoles).     

Syntheses,characterization and anti‐microbial activities of palladium(II) and palladium(IV) complexes of 3,10‐C‐meso‐Me8[14]diene (L1) and its reduced isomeric anes (LA,LB and LC). Crystal and molecular structure of [PdL1][Pd(SCN)4]

The reactions of 3,10‐C‐meso‐3,5,7,7,10,12,14,14‐octamethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecadiene, L¹, and two isomers (L_B and L_C, differing in the orientation of methyl groups on the chiral carbon atoms) of its reduced form with PdCl₂ and K₂[Pd(SCN)₄], produce square‐planar tetrachloro‐ and tetrathiocyano‐palladium(II) complexes of general formulae [PdL′][PdCl₄] and [PdL′][Pd(SCN)₄] (L′ = L¹, L_B and L_C), respectively. By contrast, the third ane isomer, L_A, upon reaction with the same reagents, PdCl₂ and K₂[Pd(SCN)₄], formed octahedral tetrachloro‐ and tetrathiocyanato‐palladium(IV) complexes [PdL_ACl₂]Cl₂ and [PdL_A(SCN)₂](SCN)₂, respectively. The [PdL′][PdCl₄] and [PdL_ACl₂]Cl₂ complexes undergo substitution reactions with KSCN to form square‐planar and octahedral tetrathiocyanato complexes [PdL′][Pd(SCN)₄] and [PdL_A(SCN)₂](SCN)₂, respectively. All complexes have been characterized on the basis of analytical, spectroscopic, conductometric and magnetochemical data. The anti‐fungal and anti‐bacterial activities of these complexes have been studied against some phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria. The crystal structure of [PdL¹][Pd(SCN)₄] has been confirmed by X‐ray crystallography and shows with square‐planar PdN₄ and PdS₄ geometries [monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 17.884(3) Å, b = 14.734(2) Å, c = 11.4313(18) Å, β = 104.054(5)° ].

An Efficient Palladium and Bis(2‐pyridylmethyl)amine‐based System for Suzuki‐Miyaura Cross‐Coupling under Aqueous and Aerobic Condition

A novel PdCl₂/bis(2‐pyridylmethyl)amine‐based ligand ( 1 ) catalytic system, which is water‐soluble and air‐stable, has been successfully synthesized and applied for Suzuki‐Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction. In the presence of catalytic amount of PdCl₂/ 1 system, arylboronic acids can couple with a wide range of aryl halides, including aryl bromides and aryl chlorides. The reactions proceed under mild conditions to give excellent yields, and a wide range of functionalities is tolerated.     

Coordination Chemistry of Highly Hemilabile Bidentate Sulfoxide N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes with Palladium(II)

Imidazolium salts, [RS(O)? CH₂(C₃H₃N₂)Mes]Cl (R=Me ( L1 a ), Ph ( L1 b )); Mes=mesityl), make convenient carbene precursors. Palladation of L1 a affords the monodentate dinuclear complex, [(PdCl₂{MeS(O)CH₂(C₃H₂N₂)Mes})₂] ( 2 a ), which is converted into trans‐[PdCl₂(NHC)₂] (trans‐ 4 a ; N‐heterocyclic carbene) with two rotamers in anti and syn configurations. Complex trans‐ 4 a can isomerize into cis‐ 4 a (anti) at reflux in acetonitrile. Abstraction of chlorides from 4 a or 4 b leads to the formation of a new dication: trans‐[Pd{RS(O)CH₂(C₃H₂N₂)Mes}₂](PF₆)₂ (R=Me ( 5 a ), Ph ( 5 b )). The X‐ray structure of 5 a provides evidence that the two bidentate SO? NHC ligands at palladium(II) are in square‐planar geometry. Two sulfoxides are sulfur‐ and oxygen‐bound, and constitute five‐ and six‐membered chelate rings with the metal center, respectively. In acetonitrile, complexes 5 a or 5 b spontaneously transform into cis‐[Pd(NHC)₂(NCMe)₂](PF₆)₂. Similar studies of thioether–NHCs have also been examined for comparison. The results indicate that sulfoxides are more labile than thioethers.
