About This Topic

Palladium catalysis has emerged over the last half century as a versatile tool in organic chemistry, and is one of the keys to improve sustainable and economical utilization of resources of the planet. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to R. Heck, E. Negishi and A. Suzuki in 2010 recognized their extensive contribution to the creation of new procedures of cross-coupling reactions. For years, the field mainly concerned the formation of C–C bonds from activated substrates, via Pd0 and PdII intermediates. Important contributions from a number of teams have extended the topic to the formation of carbon–heteroatom and, with the development of chiral ligands, to the asymmetric synthesis. Another facet of the palladium catalysis concerns the oxidation procedures which finds its origin from studies of F. C. Phillips published in 1894 which led to the Wacker reaction. In fact, palladium is a multipurpose catalyst which may also implicate PdI, PdIII and PdIV intermediates, and can even react with sp3 C–H bonds. The determination of the reaction mechanisms has been greatly favored by the availability of the ESI-MS spectrometry.

Fabrication and Catalytic Property of an Ordered Terpyridine Pd(II)/Ni(II) Catalytic Monolayer for Suzuki Coupling Reactions

Received: 21 September 2022;  Published: 02 December 2022;  doi: 10.21926/cr.2204042

Abstract

Fabrication, arrangement, and controllable composition of ordered organometallic films are critical for designing a highly active catalyst and investigating the catalytic mechanism. In this paper, an organometallic terpyridine Pd(II)/Ni(II) monolayer linked on the silicon substrate surface (denoted as Si-Tpy-Pd1< [...]

A New Chiral Cyclopalladated Ferrocenylimine Self-assembly Polymeric Film supported on Silicon for Heck and Suzuki-coupling Reactions

Received: 21 March 2022;  Published: 14 April 2022;  doi: 10.21926/cr.2202010

Abstract

A new chiral cyclopalladated ferrocenyl imine catalyst (called 4a2) was designed and synthesized, and its self-assembly catalytic polymeric brush supported on silicon (denoted as Si@PB4a2) was also fabricated by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and characterized. The catalytic properties of monomer 4a2 in homogeneo [...]

Controllable Cyclopalladated Polythiophene Imine Monolayer by Self-Assembly, Hybrid Doping and Electrochemical Polymerization: A Simple Way to Enhance Activity and Stability

Received: 13 December 2021;  Published: 03 February 2022;  doi: 10.21926/cr.2201003

Abstract

In this article, an approach to generate self-assembly cyclopalladated polythiophene imine monolayers (denoted as ITO@Pd-CPTIMs) is described. The monolayers were fabricated by combining self-assembly (SA), hybrid doping (HD), and electrochemical polymerization (ECP) called SA-HD [...]
