Redox-active phosphines: synthesis and crystal structures of palladium(II) complexes of a metallaphosphine in two different oxidation states.

International audienceThe redox-active metallaphosphine [Fe(dppe)(η(5)-C5Me5)(C≡C-PPh2)] reacts with [Pd(1,5-cod)Cl2] to give mono- and bis-phosphine coordinated palladium centres as a function of stoichiometry, and these complexes provide a stable redox-active platform which allows reversible one-electron {Fe(II)→Fe(III)(+)} oxidations within the palladium coordination sphere

Insights into the Mechanism of Reaction of [(C5Me5)2SmII(thf)2] with CO2 and COS by DFT Studies

International audienceReaction mechanisms for the oxidative reactions of CO2 and COS with [(C5Me5)2Sm] have been investigated by means of DFT methods. The experimental formation of oxalate and dithiocarbonate complexes is explained. Their formation involve the samarium(III) bimetallic complexes [(C5Me5)2Sm‐CO2‐Sm(C5Me5)2] and [(C5Me5)2Sm‐COS‐Sm(C5Me5)2] as intermediates, respectively, ruling out radical coupling for the formation of the oxalate complex
