Bimetallic nickel and palladium complexes for catalytic applications

Abstract

South Africa is a mineral-rich country and one area in which minerals can be very important is catalysis. Over an extended period of time, homogeneous catalysis has grown to become very useful, particularly in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The organometallic compounds required in the catalysis industry have advanced from metallocenes to an alternative in the form of

Synthesis, crystal structures, Hirshfeld surface analysis and physico-chemical characterization of two new ZnII and CdII halidometallates

“…When the organic amine and the metal ion or metal halide are connected together via strong chemical bonds (covalent, ionic-covalent or coordination bonds), the resulting product being part of organically coordinated metal halide family. The design and construction of these complexes have been attracted significant attention due to their fascinating structures and their promising applications in diverse fields such as catalysis [4][5][6], fluorescence and sensing [7], medicinal chemistry as pharmaceutical compounds [8,9]. In this case, the choice of organic amine ligand is especially significant in obtaining desirable materials, because the architecture of coordination complexes can be considerably impacted by the shape, symmetry, flexibility and the number of amine groups available for coordination.…”
