Coordination modes of 2-hydroxynicotinic acid in second- and third-row transition metal complexes

The new Pd(II), Pt(II), Re(V), Mo(VI) and W(VI) complexes of 2-hydroxynicotinic acid (H₂nicO), trans-[PdCl(HnicO)(PPh₃)₂]·0.75CH₃CN (1), K[PdCl(HnicO)₂]·H₂O (2), [Pd(HnicO)₂(bipy)] (3), cis-[PtCl(HnicO)(PPh₃)₂]·0.75CH₃OH·0.5H₂O (4), [PtCl(HnicO)(bipy)] (5), cis-[ReOI₂(HnicO)(PPh₃)] (6), Na₂[Mo₂O₆(HnicO)₂]·5H₂O (7), Na₂[Mo₄O₁₂(HnicO)₂]·2H₂O (8) and Na₂[W₂O₆(HnicO)₂]·5H₂O (9) have been prepared. The crystal structures of 1 and 4, were determined by X-ray diffraction and show the HnicO⁻ ligand coordinated to palladium or platinum through the nitrogen atom only. Infrared, Raman, ¹H and ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectroscopic data for the complexes are presented and are in agreement with the crystallographic results.     

Highly efficient Wacker oxidation catalyzed by heterogeneous Pd montmorillonite under acid-free conditions

Palladium-montmorillonite was proven to be highly efficient for the Wacker oxidation of terminal olefins to the corresponding methyl ketones. The catalyst was reusable while maintaining high activity and selectivity.     

Amine- and phosphine-free palladium(II)-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of terminal alkynes

An efficient, amine- and phosphine-free palladium(II)-catalyzed homocoupling of terminal alkynes has been developed. In the presence of PdCl₂, CuI, Me₃NO, and NaOAc, homocoupling of various terminal alkynes underwent smoothly to afford the corresponding diynes in moderate to high yields without any phosphine ligands. In contrast, the presence of a phosphine ligand (PPh₃) disfavored this palladium-catalyzed homocoupling procedure. Bases, solvents, and CuI have fundamental influence on the palladium-catalyzed homocoupling of terminal alkynes.     

Facile preparation of organozinc bromides using electrogenerated highly reactive zinc and its use in cross-coupling reaction

Highly reactive zinc was readily prepared by electrolysis of a DMF solution containing pyrene as a mediator with a platinum cathode and a zinc anode. Preferential reduction of pyrene occurred to generate the corresponding radical anion, which reduced zinc ions generated from anodic dissolution to give zero valent zinc with high reactivity. The reactive zinc was successfully used for an efficient transformation of bromoalkanes into the corresponding organozinc bromides. Organozinc bromides obtained were further used successfully in Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction with various aryl iodides and bromides.     

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl and alkyl halides using palladium/imidazolium salt protocols

A simple new protocol for the high yielding Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings of aryl chlorides with aryl boronic acids using a palladium/imidazolium salt catalytic system is presented. The first examples of a palladium/imidazolium salt protocol for sp³-sp³ Suzuki-Miyaura couplings of alkyl halides are also disclosed.

Spectrophotometry Determination of Copper and Palladium Using Some 1,3,5-Triphenylformazans

A new rapid and accurate method for the spectrophotometric microdetermination of Cu(II) and Pd(II) using some 1,3,5-triphenylformazans (I) is given. The optimum conditions for the formation of the complexes are extensively investigated. The ligands form 1:1 and 1:2 (M:L) complexes with Cu and Pd ions, Beer's law is obeyed up to 3.8 and 6.5 ppm Cu and Pd respectively. The influence of foreign ions is investigated. The ligands were used successfully as indicators in spectrophotometric titration of Cu and Pd ions with EDTA and CDTA.     

trans-Bis-[(−)ephedrinate]-palladium complex: synthesis, molecular modeling and use as catalyst

The reaction between palladium acetate, (−)-ephedrine and potassium acetate led to bis-chelate complex Pd[OCH(Ph)NH(Me)]₂ whose the trans-structure is obtained from calculations. The use of this complex to catalyze either the 1,4-hydrogenation of (E)-2-benzyliden-1-tetralone or Heck reaction of phenyl iodide with 3-methyl-3-buten-2-ol led to a low enantiomeric excess.     

Magnetic Structure of CsPd2F5

The structure of CsPd₂F₅ has been confirmed from neutron diffraction data on powdered sample. CsPd₂F₅ crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. At 100 K, the unit-cell constants are a = 6.473(2) Å, b = 7.853(5) Å, c = 10.718(3) Å and the calculation carried out using the Rietveld method leads to R₁ = 0.020. The network is formed of PdF₆ octahedra chains containing half of Pd in high-spin configuration, connected one to each other by square planes containing the other half of Pd in low-spin configuration. CsPd₂F₅ orders antiferromagnetically below T_N = 38 K. In the ordered state a weak ferromagnetic component occurs (σ₀ = 0.098 μ_B at 2 K). The magnetic structure determined at 4 K is consistent with the magnetization data and can be described in the Im′m′a′ magnetic group without any doubling of the unit-cell parameters. Within the chains, Pd²⁺ are coupled antiparallel. The magnetic moments are located in the (x0z) plane, the angle between the moments and the z axis being 18°.
