TL;DR: A series of cationic methylpalladium(II) complexes containing bidentate N-O ligands, of the general formula [PdMe(N-O)L]BF4 (N,N-diisopropylpicolinamide; L = PPh3 or PCy3) have been prepared and characterised.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Air‐Stable Nickel(0) Phosphite Precatalyst for Primary Alkylamine C–N Cross‐Coupling Reactions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the design and preparation of a new air-stable nickel phosphite based catalyst for unique C-N bond forming processes, which is presented as an effective catalyst for a range of amination reactions between aryl halides and primary alkylamines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bis-amido- complexes of heavier Group 15 metal chlorides with the sterically hindered, N-functionalised amido ligand, [{2-(6-Me)C5H3N}NSiMe3]−
TL;DR: The reaction of the lithium amide, [2-(6-methyl)pyridyl]trimethylsilylamido-lithium, with antimony (III) or bismuth(III) trichloride in diethyl ether gives the bis-amido antimony(III)/bismuth-(III) chloride [{2-( 6-Me)C5H3N}NSiMe3]MCl, [M Sb (1)or Bi(2)] as colourless or yellow
Journal ArticleDOI
Cluster chemistry: XCIII. Reactions of Ru3(μ-dppm)(CO)10 with benzyl halides: Isolation and crystal structures of some unusual transformation products, including the Ru4 chain cluster Ru4(μ-Br)2{μ-C P : P-(C6H4)PPhCH2PPh2}2(μ-CO)(CO)8☆
TL;DR: The tetranuclear chain complex Ru 4 (μ-Br) 2 {μ- C, P : P -(C 6 H 4 )PPhCH 2 PPh 2 } 2 (μCO)(CO) 8, the structure of which was determined by an X-ray diffraction study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complexation of the p-t-butyl-calix[4]arene anion with alkali metal cations in polar, non-aqueous solvents: experimental and theoretical studies
