trans-Dichloridobis(3,5-dimethylÂpyridine-κN)(ethanoÂlato-κO)oxidoÂrhenium(V)
The title compound, [Re(C2H5O)Cl2O(C7H9N)2], was crystallized from ethanol. The crystal structure of this complex contains a Re(V) atom in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry with pairs of equivalent ligands in trans positions. Adjacent complex molÂecules are linked by weak C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is additionally stabilized by π–π stacking interÂactions between the aromatic rings with centroid–centroid distances of 3.546 (4) Å

In the title compound, [PdCl2(C21H21O3P)2], the Pd atom adopts a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry, with pairs of the equivalent ligands in cis positions. Adjacent molÂecules are linked by weak C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is additionally stabilized by π–π stacking interÂactions between the aromatic rings [shortest centroid–centroid distance = 3.758 (4) Å]
Rh(0) Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Structure and Catalytic Application in Suzuki–Miyaura Reaction and Hydrogenation of Benzene
CO2 instead of CO : catalytic conversion of CO2 in the synthesis of carbonyl compounds
Modem industrial carbonylation processes, leading to functionalized carbonyl compounds, are based on the application of highly toxic and flammable carbon monoxide. Recently, carbon dioxide which is non-toxic and abundant, has attracted attention as a perfect C1 source to build new C-C and C-N bonds. From the standpoint of green and sustainable chemistry, it is appealing and challenging to combine the reduction of CO2 with subsequent carbonylation using in situ formed CO. Herein we present the application of CO2 as C1 building block for the carbonylation of different organic compounds in the presence of transition metal catalysts (e.g. Pd, Rh, Ru, Fe). Industrially important organic compounds has been obtained in hydroformylation, dehydrogenation, hydrogenation, aminocarbonylation and carboxylation reactions with CO2. On the other hand, rapid reduction of CO2 to CO could processed in the metal catalyst - free systems, using a catalytic amount of fluoride salt and stoichiometric amount of di- or hydrosilane. In these reactions silyl formate has been identified as an important intermediate formed from silane and carbon dioxide. Also hydrazine and sodium borohydrate have been used for CO2 reduction to formic acid or other products. Obviously, these reactions could be restricted because of their sensitivity to the applied conditions, high cost of reactants as well as the waste generated. The presented examples of catalytic carbonylation reactions with CO2 as a source of CO group illustrate a high technological potential of this strategy
Palladium catalysts immobilized in MOF materials active in hydrogenation reactions
Palladium immobilized in metal-organic frameworks (MOF) exhibit promising
catalytic properties in hydrogenation of different unsaturated substrates. Due to
the specific porous and crystalline structure MOFs can contribute in bonding and
activation of organic substrates, increasing catalytic efficiency of Pd@MOF composites.
The superior tunability of MOFs structures enables to design highly selective
catalysts for hydrogenation of different substrates, such as olefins, esters, ketones,
alcohols or alkynes. Due to the synergistic effects of palladium and MOF not only
high activity but also high selectivity can be achieved.
The article presents representative examples of MOF-based palladium catalysts
for hydrogenation to illustrate perspectives, also technological, of their application
Heck Transformations of Biological Compounds Catalyzed by Phosphine-Free Palladium
The development and optimization of synthetic methods leading to functionalized biologically active compounds is described. Two alternative pathways based on Heck-type reactions, employing iodobenzene or phenylboronic acid, were elaborated for the arylation of eugenol and estragole. Cinnamyl alcohol was efficiently transformed to saturated arylated aldehydes in reaction with iodobenzene using the tandem arylation/isomerization sequential process. The arylation of cinnamyl alcohol with phenylboronic acid mainly gave unsaturated alcohol, while the yield of saturated aldehyde was much lower. Catalytic reactions were carried out using simple, phosphine-free palladium precursors and water as a cosolvent, following green chemistry rules as much as possible
Palladium Catalyzed Heck Arylation of 2,3-Dihydrofuran—Effect of the Palladium Precursor
Heck arylation of 2,3-dihydrofuran with iodobenzene was carried out in systems consisting of different palladium precursors (Pd2(dba)3, Pd(acac)2, PdCl2(cod), [PdCl(allyl)]2, PdCl2(PhCN)2, PdCl2(PPh3)2) and ionic liquids (CILs) with L-prolinate or L-lactate anions. All the tested CILs caused remarkable increases of the conversion values and in all of the reactions 2-phenyl-2,3-dihydrofuran (3) was obtained as the main product with a yield of up to 59.2%. The highest conversions of iodobenzene were achieved for the [PdCl(allyl)]2 precursor. Formation of Pd(0) nanoparticles, representing the resting state of the catalyst, was evidenced by TEM
Chlorido(1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-κN3){2-[(diphenoxyphosphanyl)oxy]phenyl-κ2C1,P}palladium(II)
The Pd atom in the title compound, [Pd(C18H14O3P)Cl(C5H8N2)], adopts a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry, with the metallated carbon positioned trans to the Cl atom. The crystal structure is stabilized by several weak C—H...O and C—H...Cl hydrogen-bond interactions. One of the phenyl rings is disordered over two almost equally occupied sites
