Mixed ligand complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(II) with methionine and 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidines

Summary Mixed ligand complexes ofcis-[M(MetH)Cl₂] (M=Pd²⁺ and Pt²⁺; MetH=methionine) with 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidines were prepared and characterised. Thecis-[Pd(MetH)Cl₂] complex reacted with cytosine (2-hydroxy-4-aminopyrimidine), isocytosine (2-amino-4-hydroxypyrimidine) and thiocytosine (2-thio-4-amino-pyrimidine) to form ternary complexes.cis-[Pt(MetH)Cl₂] however reacted with cytosine, uracil (2,4-pyrimidine dione or 2,4-dihydroxypyrimidine) to yield the corresponding mixed ligand complexes. The primary ligand, methionine, binds to the metal ion through sulphur and amino nitrogenvia a six membered chelate ring. The secondary ligands (substituted pyrimidines) bind to the Pd²⁺ or Pt²⁺ metal ion through the ring nitrogen (N₃), as monodentate ligand. Thiocytosine however acts as a bidentate ligand, coordinating to the metal ion through-SH and ring nitrogen (N₃). All complexes are 11 electrolytes, except the thiocytosine complex, which is a 12 electrolyte.     

Regioselectivity of styrene carbonylation in the presence of palladium(II) complexes

The influence of a catalyst on regioselectivity of styrene carbonylation in ionic liquids catalyzed by palladium(II) complexes was studied. The mechanism of the migration insertion of styrene at the palladium-hydrogen bond determining the regioselectrivity of the whole reaction, which is treated as electrophilic addition to the multiple bond of styrene, was studied. A study of the structure of intermediate complexes formed at this stage was performed using the B3LYP method of density functional theory.     

Different ways of coordination for aminoalkyldiphosphonic acids in palladium(II) complexes

Complexation in the systems K₂PdCl₄-3-amino-1-hydroxypropane-1,1-diyldiphosphonic acid (AHPDP) and K₂PdCl₄-1-aminoethane-1,1-diyldiphosphonic acid (AEDP) was studied using pH-potentiometry, spectrophotometry, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. It was found that AHPDP in equimolar complexes is coordinated by Pd(II) in a bidentate fashion through two phosphonate O atoms forming a six-membered chelate [O,O]-ring, while AEDP is coordinated through the N atom and one phosphonate O atom forming a five-membered chelate [N,O]-ring. In 1: 2 complexes of Pd(II) with AEDP, the second AEDP molecule is coordinated by Pd(II) in a similar way to form a second five-membered [N,O]-ring. The latter complexes show cis-trans and syn-anti isomerism. The structural characteristics of the corresponding isomers were calculated at the DFT level of theory and their stabilities were compared.

Complexes Pd(C₅H₅N₅)(C₅H₈NO₄)Cl, Pd(C₅H₅N₅)(C₆H₁₃N₂O₂)Cl, Pd(C₄H₅N₃O)(C₆H₁₃N₂O₂)Cl, and Pd(C₄H₅N₃O)(C₅H₈NO₄)Cl are synthesized and characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, and thermogravimetry. The coordination mode of amino acids, cytosine, and adenine to the palladium(II) ion is determined.     

Simulation of the mechanism of styrene carbonylation in the presence of palladium(II) complexes

The mechanism of styrene carbonylation in the presence of a palladium(II) complex has been investigated by quantum chemical methods. The migratory insertion of styrene into the palladium-hydrogen bond of hydride π-complexes is considered in detail. This process determines the regioselectivity of the reaction.     

New palladium(II) complexes with pyrazole ligands

The pyrazole ligand 3,5-dimethyl-4-iodopyrazole (HdmIPz) has been used to obtain a series of palladium(II) complexes (1–4) of the type [PdX₂(HdmIPz)₂] {X = Cl⁻ (1); Br⁻ (2); I⁻ (3); SCN⁻ (4)}. All compounds have been isolated, purified, and characterized by means of elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, ¹H and ¹³C{¹H}-NMR experiments, differential thermal analysis (DTA), and thermogravimetry (TG). The TG/DTA curves showed that the compounds released ligands in the temperature range 137–605 °C, yielding metallic palladium as final residue. The complexes and the ligand together with cisplatin have been tested in vitro by MTT assay for their cytotoxicity against two murine cancer cell lines: mammary adenocarcinoma (LM3) and lung adenocarcinoma (LP07).     

Platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes with substituted pyrimidines

Summary Platinum(II) and Palladium(II) complexes with 2-mercaptopyrimidine, 2-thiocytosine (4-aminopyrimidine 2-thione), and isocytosine (2-amino-4-hydroxy pyrimidine) were prepared and characterised by elemental analysis, conductivity data, i.r.,¹H n.m.r. and¹³C n.M.r. spectral studies. 2-Mercaptopyrimidine and 2-thiocytosine are coordinated to the metal ion through N(3) and C₂S, thus forming a four-membered chelate ring. Isocytosine acts as a monodentate ligand and coordinates to the metal ion through N(1). All the complexes are non-electrolytes.

The ligand is bonded to the metal ion through the aminic nitrogen atom as monodentate or through this atom and the thiocarbonylic sulphur atom when it acts as chelating or bridging ligand. The carbonylic oxygen atom is never coordinated.

New palladium(II) complexes with pyrazole ligands

This study describes the synthesis, IR, ¹H, and ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectroscopic as well the thermal characterization of the new palladium(II) pyrazolyl complexes [PdCl₂(HmPz)₂] 1, [PdBr₂(HmPz)₂] 2, [PdI₂(HmPz)₂] 3, [Pd(SCN)₂(HmPz)₂] 4 {HmPz = 4-methylpyrazole}.

Cyclooctenyl complexes of palladium(II) with multidentate N-heterocycles

[Pd(cod)(cotl)]ClO₄ (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, cotl = cyclooctenyl, C₈H₁₃ ^–) undergoes substitutions with multidentate N-heterocycles: 1,3-bis(benzimidazolyl)benzene (L¹), 1,3-bis(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene (L²), 2,6-bis(benzimidazolyl)pyridine (L³) and 2,6-bis(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine (L⁴) to yield mono/binuclear complexes: [Pd(cotl)(L¹)(OClO₃)], [Pd(cotl)(L)]ClO₄ (L = L² or L³) and [Pd(cotl)₂(L⁴)](ClO₄)₂. Dihalobridged binuclear complexes [PdX(cotl)]₂ (X = Cl or Br) undergo halogen bridge cleavages with the multidentate N-heterocycles to form binuclear complexes of the type [PdX(cotl)₂L] (X = Cl or Br; L = L¹, L², L³ or L⁴). The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, ¹H-, ¹³C-n.m.r., i.r., far-i.r. and FAB-mass spectral studies.     

Synthesis of palladium(II) and nickel(II) complexes with tetrabenzoporphine

Cationic (fluoromesityl)palladium(II) complexes

Halide abstraction from [Pd(μ-Cl)(Fmes)(NCMe)]₂ (Fmes = 2,4,6-tris(trifluoromethyl)phenyl or nonafluoromesityl) with TlBF₄ in CH₂Cl₂/MeCN gives [Pd(Fmes)(NCMe)₃]BF₄, which reacts with monodentate ligands to give the monosubstituted products trans-[Pd(Fmes)L(NCMe)₂]BF₄ (L = PPh₃, P(o-Tol)₃, 3,5-lut, 2,4-lut, 2,6-lut; lut = dimethylpyridine), the disubstituted products trans-[Pd(Fmes)(NCMe)(PPh₃)₂]BF₄, cis-[Pd(Fmes)(3,5-lut)₂(NCMe)]BF₄, or the trisubstituted products [Pd(Fmes)L₃]BF₄ (L = CN^tBu, PHPh₂, 3,5-lut, 2,4-lut). Similar reactions using bidentate chelating ligands give [Pd(Fmes)(L-L)(NCMe)]BF₄ (L-L = bipy, tmeda, dppe, OPPhPy₂-N,N′, (OH)(CH₃)CPy₂-N,N′). The complexes trans-[Pd(Fmes)L₂(NCMe)]BF₄ (L = PPh₃, tht) (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) and [Pd(Fmes)(L-L)(NCMe)]BF₄ (L-L = bipy, tmeda) were obtained by halide extraction with TlBF₄ in CH₂Cl₂/MeCN from the corresponding neutral halogeno complexes trans-[Pd(Fmes)ClL₂] or [Pd(Fmes)Cl(L-L)]. The aqua complex trans-[Pd(Fmes)(OH₂)(tht)₂]BF₄ was isolated from the corresponding acetonitrile complex. Overall, the experimental results on these substitution reactions involving bulky ligands suggest that thermodynamic and kinetic steric effects can prevail affording products or intermediates different from those expected on purely electronic considerations. Thus,water, whether added on purpose or adventitious in the solvent, frequently replaces in part other better donor ligands, suggesting that the smaller congestion with water compensates for the smaller M-OH₂ bond energy.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of arenes in the presence of heteropoly acids and palladium(II) complexes supported on silica gel

Pd(II) complexes and twelfth-series heteropoly acids (HPA) H₉[PMo₆V₆O₄₀] and H₃[PMo₁₂O₄₀] supported on silica gel oxidize benzene and toluene at 95°C. The formation of methyldiphenylmethane in the oxidation of toluene on HPA/SiO₂ and (PdCl₂−HPA)/SiO₂ catalysts, KIE>1 for the toluene/toluene-d₈ pair, and greater rate for toluene than for benzene are in accord with a one-electron transfer mechanism.

Potentiometric study of the kinetics and equilibria of formation of chloroglycinate palladium(II) complexes from bis-glycinato palladium(II) complexes

The equilibria and kinetics of the reaction of Pd(gly)₂ complexes with hydrogen ions and chloride ions has been studied by a potentiometric method. The underlying idea of the method is the measurement of solution pH as a function of reaction time t using a glass electrode. The solutions used had the following initial compositions: xM Pd(gly)₂, xM Hgly, and 1 M NaCl with x = 1 × 10^?4, 5 × 10^?4, and 1 × 10^?3; initial pH₀ was from ～3.5 to ～4.4. The experimentally determined pH versus t dependences and the rate equation for a pseudo-second-order reaction were used to determine the equilibrium constant of formation of Pd(gly)(Hgly)Cl complexes from Pd(gly)₂ complexes and the observed rate constant for this reaction, k _obs. The dependence of k _obs on the pH of the acid solutions studied was assigned to a change in the sequence of the reactions of addition of a hydrogen ion and a chloride ion to the complex Pd(gly)₂.
