Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This thesis describes the synthesis and reactivity of complexes containing the cycloneophyl-Pd(II) group, PdCH2CMe2C6H4, in combination with N-donor ligands. These compounds contain both alkyl- and arylpalladium bonds and the selectivity of bond cleavage in reactions with oxidants and protic reagents is studied, often involving oxidative addition and reductive elimination reaction sequences.
The diimine ligand in [Pd(CH2CMe2C6H4)(MesN=CH-CH=NMes)] does not support formation of stable palladium(IV) complexes, but reactions with Br2 or I2 lead to reductive elimination by C-C bond formation of 1,1-dimethylcyclobutabenzene while …
