Reactivity of hemilabile pyridyl- and methyl-substituted pyrimidylselenolates with [MCl2(dppf)] (M = Pd, pt; dppf = bis(diphenylphisphino)ferrocene)

PdII(P‐P) Derivatives of o‐Quinone Annulated with Dithiete Cycle: Electrochemical Properties and Coordination Regioisomerism

“…For chelating diphosphine ligands the bite angle P-Pd-P is less than it was in 2, the minimal value was observed for dppe [19] [3.439] [19] [20] [3.076] [20] (Table 2). Complex 10 also displays a maximal value for twist angle between P-Pd-P and S-Pd-S mean planes.…”

“…[17] The bite angle P (1)-Pd-P (2) is 86. 19(3)°. The six-membered o-quinone carbon ring is distorted out of planarity as a consequence of metal coordination to the dithiolene site.…”

A ferrocene-templated Pd-bearing molecular reactor

“…We envisioned that this part of 3 might play a role of a metal coordination site. [43][44][45][46][47][48] Due to the importance of Pd in many fields of applied science, e.g., catalysis, our goal was to incorporate three Pd residues to 3. The chromatography-free protocol for the synthesis of the Pd-decorated cage (5) was successfully developed (Fig.…”

“…A breakthrough at this point of our project occurred when we had noted the structural similarity between 5 and [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II), a commercially used catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. [43][44][45] Inspired by this resemblance, we decided to study the pioneering application of 5 as the catalyst for 1,1′biphenyl synthesis. The optimization experiments gave remarkable results.…”

Bis(2-pyridyl)ditellane as a precursor to CoII, CuI and CuII complex formation: structural characterization and photocatalytic studies

“…Some potential uses of semi-conducting metal tellurides are in solar cells, quantum dots and electroluminescent devices. 1–6…”
