Fluxional interconversion of divalent palladium complexes having NSNSN ligands between flexible SNS and rigid NNN-coordinated structures

Abstract

Table of Contents EntryNSNSN-palladium complexes were found to have flexible SNS and rigid NNN coordination modes, and the equilibrium could be modulated by temperature and steric and electronic factors of the ligands.

Oxygenation of a benzyl ligand in SNS-palladium complexes with O2: acceleration by anions or Brønsted acids

“…In the solution, complex 4a remained in an equilibrium between SNSand NNN-coordinated modes (ca. 3:1 at r.t.) 22 unlike complex 1, which had only an SNS-coordinated mode. The use of HBr instead of HCl also afforded a similar result, although the yield of BnOOH was low (entry 15).…”
