Neutral and ionic complexes of C60 with metal dibenzyldithiocarbamates. Reversible dimerization of C60*- in ionic multicomponent complex [Cr(I)(C6H6)2*+].(C60*-).0.5[Pd(dbdtc)2].

New molecular complexes of C60 with metal(II) dibenzyldithiocarbamates, M(dbdtc)2.C60.0.5(C6H5Cl), where M=Cu(II), Ni(II), Pd(II), and Pt(II) and an ionic multicomponent complex [Cr(I)(C6H6)2*+].(C60*-).0.5[Pd(dbdtc)2] (Cr(C6H6)2: bis(benzene)chromium) were obtained. According to IR, UV-visible-NIR, and EPR spectra, involve neutral components, whereas 5 comprises neutral Pd(dbdtc)2 and C60*- and Cr(I)(C6H6)2*+ radical ions. The crystal structure of at 90 K reveals strongly puckered fullerene layers alternating with those composed of Pd(dbdtc)2. The Cr(I)(C6H6)2*+ radical cations are arranged between the layers. Fullerene radical anions form pairs within the layer with an interfullerene C...C contact of 3.092(2) A, indicating their monomeric state at 90 K. This contact is essentially shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii of two carbon atoms, and consequently, C60*- can dimerize. According to SQUID and EPR, single-bonded diamagnetic (C60-)2 dimers form in below 150-130 K on slow cooling and dissociate above 150-170 K on heating. The hysteresis was estimated to be 20 K. For the (C60-)2 dimers in, the dissociation temperature is the lowest among those for ionic complexes of C60 (160-250 K). Fast cooling of the crystals within 10 min from room temperature down to 100 K shifts dimerization temperatures to lower than 60 K. This shift is responsible for the retention of a monomeric phase of at 90 K in the X-ray diffraction experiment.

Syntheses and Structures of the Complexes cis-[M(C(6)F(5))(2)(N&arcraise;X)] (M = Pd, Pt; N&arcraise;X = 2-Iodoaniline, 2-Benzoylpyridine) Containing N&arcraise;X Acting as a Didentate Chelating Ligand and Displaying I-->M or O-->M Interactions.

Complexes cis-[M(C(6)F(5))(2)(THF)(2)] (M = Pd, Pt) are weak Lewis acids and react with the halocarbon ligand 2-iodoaniline (R-I) yielding the corresponding cis-[M(C(6)F(5))(2)(R-I)] [M = Pd (1), Pt (2)]. In these complexes a (C-)I-M bond is present. The use of other 2-haloanilines (halogen = F, Cl, Br) does not yield the analogous complexes because of the lesser nucleophilic character of the halogen involved. The presence of the (C-)I-Pt bond in 2 has been confirmed by an X-ray structure determination, which also reveals an N-H.M hydrogen bond between two neutral molecules. Complex 2 crystallizes in the space group P&onemacr;: Z = 4; a = 11.797(4) Å; b = 13.735(4) Å; c = 14.107(4) Å; alpha = 97.24(2) degrees; beta = 90.91(2) degrees; gamma = 99.44(2) degrees; V = 2235(2) Å(3). Similarly, complexes cis-[M(C(6)X(5))(2)(THF)(2)] (M = Pd, Pt; X = F, Cl) react with the ligand 2-benzoylpyridine {R-C(O)Ph}, in which the oxygen atom of the ketonic group can behave as a nucleophilic center, yielding the complexes cis-[M(C(6)X(5))(2){R-C(O)Ph}] [M = Pd, X = F (3); M = Pt, X = F (4), Cl (5)]. Complex 3 crystallizes in the space group C2/c: Z = 16; a = 26.284(3) Å; b = 10.623(1) Å; c = 31.423(4) Å; beta = 93.15(1) degrees; V = 8760(2) Å(3). The I-M or O-M bonds in complexes 1-5 are weak and can be easily broken by the addition of neutral (CO, PPh(3), and CH(3)CN) or anionic (Br(-)) ligands.

Palladium Complexes with the Tridentate Dianionic Ligand Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate, dipic. Crystal Structure of [Pd(dipic)(PBu(3))](2).

The reactions of [Pd(acac)(2)] or [Pd(OAc)(2)](3) with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (H(2)dipic) in acetonitrile afford [Pd(dipic)(NCMe)] in high yield. This complex has been used as starting material in the preparation of a variety of neutral an anionic complexes. The dipicolinate anion behaves as a tridentate ligand in all cases, but two modes of coordination are found, depending on the ligand: as a pincer ligand O,N,O-bonded to the same palladium, giving mononuclear complexes, and as an O,N-chelate N,O'-bridging ligand in dinuclear complexes. An X-ray determination of the structure of a dimer, [Pd(dipic)(PBu(3))](2) (monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n, a = 18.144(4) Å, b = 13.191(2) Å, c = 19.571(3) Å, beta = 113.45(2) degrees, Z = 4, R = 0.050, R(w) = 0.054) shows that the ligand is coordinated to one palladium in a eta(2)-N,O chelate fashion and one oxygen atom of the other carboxylate group makes a bridge to the other palladium atom, in a novel bonding mode for the dipic ligand.

Pd-catalyzed inter- and intramolecular carbene transfer from group 6 metal-carbene complexes.

The use of group 6 metal-carbene complexes in inter- and intramolecular carbene transfer reactions has been studied. Thus, pentacarbonyl[(aryl)(methoxy)carbene]chromium(0) and tungsten complexes, 10, efficiently dimerize at room temperature in the presence of diverse Pd(0) and Pd(II)/Et(3)N catalysts. The effect of additives (PPh(3), AsPh(3), or SbPh(3)) on the nature and the isomeric ratio of the reaction products is negligible. The nature of the reaction products is more catalyst-dependent for metal carbenes 12 bearing alkyl groups attached to the carbene carbon. In these cases, either carbene ligand dimerization or beta-hydrogen elimination reactions are observed, depending on the catalyst. The carbene ligand dimerization reaction can be used to prepare conjugated polyenes, including those having metal moieties at both ends of the polyene system, as well as enediyne derivatives. The intramolecular carbene ligand dimerization of chromium bis-carbene complexes 28 and 30 allows the preparation of mono- and bicyclic derivatives, with ring sizes from six to nine members. For bis-carbene derivatives the beta-hydrogen elimination reaction is inhibited, provided that both metal centers are tethered by an o-xylylene group. Other alkyl complexes 32 form new mononuclear carbene complexes 37 or decompose to complex reaction mixtures. The results obtained in these reactions may be explained by transmetalation from Cr(0) to Pd(0) and the intermediacy of Pd-carbene complexes. Aminocarbene-chromium(0) complexes 15, need harsher reaction conditions to transfer the carbene ligand, and this transfer occurs only in the presence of deactivated olefins. The corresponding insertion/hydrolysis products 48 resulted in these cases. A catalytic cycle involving transmetalation from a chromacyclobutane to a palladacyclobutane is proposed to explain these results.

Oxidative addition of the imidazolium cation to zerovalent Ni, Pd, and Pt: a combined density functional and experimental study.

Oxidative addition of different imidazolium cations to zerovalent group 10 metals, to afford heterocyclic carbene complexes, has been investigated by both density functional theory (DFT) and experimental studies. The theoretical analysis shows that addition of imidazoliums to Pt(0) and Ni(0) is more exothermic than to Pd(0), and Ni(0) is predicted to react with a much lower barrier than either Pt(0) or Pd(0). Strongly basic supporting ligands on the metal, as well as cis-chelating ligands, increase the exothermicity of the reaction and also lower the activation barrier. The addition of 2-H imidazoliums is easier and more exothermic than addition of 2-alkylimidazoliums, and a halo-imidazolium is expected to further lower the barrier to oxidative addition and increase the exothermicity. The DFT results show that all three of the metals should be able to oxidatively add imidazolium cations under appropriate conditions. Experimental studies confirmed that oxidative addition is possible, and a number of Pt- and Pd-carbene complexes were prepared via oxidative addition of imidazolium salts to M(0) precursors. Most significantly, oxidative addition of 2-H azolium salts was found to readily occur, and the reaction of 1,3-dimethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate with Pt(PPh(3))(2) and Pt(PCy(3))(2) affords [PtH(dmiy)(PPh(3))(2)]BF(4) (10) and [PtH(dmiy)(PCy(3))(2)]BF(4) (11), while reaction between 3,4-dimethylthiazolium tetrafluoroborate and Pt(PCy(3))(2) yields [PtH(dmty)(PCy(3))(2)]BF(4) (12) (dmiy = 1,3-dimethylimidazolin-2-ylidene, dmty = 3,4-dimethylthiazolin-2-ylidene). Addition of 2-iodo-1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate to Pt(PPh(3))(4) or Pd(dcype)(dba) yields [PtI(tmiy)(PPh(3))(2)]BF(4) (9) and [PdI(tmiy)(dcype)]BF(4) (14), respectively (tmiy = 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazolin-2-ylidene, dcype = 1,3-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane)). X-ray crystal structures are reported for complexes 9 and 11 (cis and trans). These studies clearly show for the first time that oxidative addition of imidazolium and thiazolium cations is possible, and the results are discussed in terms of the ramifications for catalysis in imidazolium-based ionic liquids with both carbene-based and non-carbene-based complexes.

Pd(II) acts simultaneously as a Lewis acid and as a transition-metal catalyst: synthesis of cyclic alkenyl ethers from acetylenic aldehydes.

The reaction of carbon-tethered acetylenic aldehydes with alcohols in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2 in 1,4-dioxane at room temperature gave the 5- or 6-membered acetal products in high yields. The 13C NMR studies suggested that a Pd(II) catalyst exhibited dual roles in the present reaction; the attack of ROH to aldehyde is catalyzed by Lewis acidic Pd(OAc)2, and the nucleophilic oxygen of the resulting hemiacetal reacts with alkyne complexed by Pd(II), giving the alkenyl ethers.

Selective hydrogenation by Pd nanoparticles embedded in polyelectrolyte multilayers.

Alternating adsorption of poly(acrylic acid) and a polyethylenimine-Pd(II) complex on alumina and subsequent reduction of Pd(II) by NaBH4 yield catalytic Pd nanoparticles embedded in multilayer polyelectrolyte films. The polyelectrolytes limit aggregation of the particles and impart catalytic selectivity in the hydrogenation of alpha-substituted unsaturated alcohols by restricting access to catalytic sites. Hydrogenation of allyl alcohol by encapsulated Pd(0) nanoparticles can occur as much as 24-fold faster than hydrogenation of 3-methyl-1-penten-3-ol. Additionally, the nanoparticle/polyelectrolyte system suppresses unwanted substrate isomerization, when compared to a commercial palladium catalyst. Selective diffusion through poly(acrylic acid)/polyethlyenimine membranes suggests that hydrogenation selectivities are due to different rates of diffusion to nanoparticle catalysts. First-order kinetics are also consistent with a diffusion-limited mechanism. Further exploitation of the versatility of polyelectrolyte films should increase selectivity in hydrogenation as well as other reactions.

DFT Investigation of H2 activation by [M(NHPnPr3)('S3')] (M = Ni, Pd). Insight into key factors relevant to the design of hydrogenase functional models.

Density functional theory has been used to investigate the reaction between H(2) and [Ni(NHPnPr(3))('S3')] or [Pd(NHPnPr(3))('S3')], where 'S3' = bis(2-sulfanylphenyl)sulfide(2-), which are among the few synthetic complexes featuring a metal coordination environment similar to that observed in the [NiFe] hydrogenase active site and capable of catalyzing H(2) heterolytic cleavage. Results allowed us to unravel the reaction mechanism, which is consistent with an oxidative addition-hydrogen migration pathway for [Ni(NHPnPr(3))('S3')], whereas metathesis is also possible with [Pd(NHPnPr(3))('S3')]. Unexpectedly, H(2) binding and activation implies structural reorganization of the metal coordination environment. It turns out that the structural rearrangement in [Ni(NHPnPr(3))('S3')] and [Pd(NHPnPr(3))('S3')] can take place due to the peculiar structural features of the Ni and Pd ligands, explaining the remarkable catalytic properties. However, the structural reorganization is the most unfavorable step along the H(2) cleavage pathway (DeltaG > 100 kJ mol(-1)), an observation that is relevant for the design and synthesis of novel biomimetic catalysts.

Heterogeneous hydrogenation catalyses over recyclable Pd(0) nanoparticle catalysts stabilized by PAMAM-SBA-15 organic-inorganic hybrid composites.

Pd(0) nanoparticle catalysts stabilized by Gn-PAMAM-SBA-15 (n = 1-4) organic-inorganic hybrid composites were successfully prepared. Heterogeneous hydrogenation reaction of allyl alcohol over the Pd(0)-Gn-PAMAM-SBA-15 catalysts showed their high activities with TOFs of 2185, 2266, 711, and 739 and selectivities of 79.0, 82.0, 93.4, and 91.4%, respectively. The activity over the Pd(0)-G4-PAMAM-SBA-15 catalyst was 1.5 times that over the fourth generation PAMAM encapsulated Pd(0) homogeneous catalyst. These catalysts can be easily recovered, reused multiple times, and preserved for one month in the air, maintaining high catalytic efficiencies.

Hydrogenation of arenes over silica-supported catalysts that combine a grafted rhodium complex and palladium nanoparticles: evidence for substrate activation on Rh(single-site)-Pd(metal) moieties.

The complex Rh(cod)(sulfos) (Rh(I); sulfos = (-)O(3)S(C(6)H(4))CH(2)C(CH(2)PPh(2))(3); cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene), either free or supported on silica, does not catalyze the hydrogenation of benzene in either homogeneous or heterogeneous phase. However, when silica contains supported Pd metal nanoparticles (Pd(0)/SiO(2)), a hybrid catalyst (Rh(I)-Pd(0)/SiO(2)) is formed that hydrogenates benzene 4 times faster than does Pd(0)/SiO(2) alone. EXAFS and DRIFT measurements of in situ and ex situ prepared samples, batch catalytic reactions under different conditions, deuterium labeling experiments, and model organometallic studies, taken together, have shown that the rhodium single sites and the palladium nanoparticles cooperate with each other in promoting the hydrogenation of benzene through the formation of a unique entity throughout the catalytic cycle. Besides decreasing the extent of cyclohexa-1,3-diene disproportionation at palladium, the combined action of the two metals activates the arene so as to allow the rhodium sites to enter the catalytic cycle and speed up the overall hydrogenation process by rapidly reducing benzene to cyclohexa-1,3-diene.

Mitomycin antitumor compounds. 2. Interaction of transition metal ions with mitomycin C. Solution structure and biological activity of a Pd(2+)-MMC complex.

Interactions of Cu(2+), Zn(2+), and Pd(2+) ions with the antitumor compound mitomycin C (MMC) have been investigated by UV-vis, circular dichroism, and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. While Zn(2+) and Cu(2+) neither interacted with MMC nor catalyzed the formation of mitosenes, Pd(2+) induced strong MMC spectral modifications, suggesting the formation of a major complex, in which MMC acted as a bidentate ligand through N(1) and N(4) atoms. The coordination mode in this complex was solvent dependent: in MeOH, the NH(2) of the carbamate function was also involved as a third coordination site whereas, in H(2)O, Pd(2+) hydrolysis was more effective, leading to the replacement of the carbamoyl NH(2) function with either H(2)O or OH(-) ligands. Although coordination of the indoline nitrogen prevented methanol elimination and consequent aziridino ring opening, Pd(2+) complexation maintained MMC biological activity against cancer cells, as shown by IC(50) values. This suggests that alternative mechanisms in the biological activity of MMC should be explored.

Design of a potent combined pseudopeptide endothelin-A/endothelin-B receptor antagonist, Ac-DBhg16-Leu-Asp-Ile-[NMe]Ile-Trp21 (PD 156252): examination of its pharmacokinetic and spectral properties.

The endothelins (ETs) are a family of bicyclic 21-amino acid peptides that are potent and prolonged vasoconstrictors. It has been shown that highly potent combined ETA/ETB receptor antagonists can be developed from the C-terminal hexapeptide of ET (His16-Leu17-Asp18-Ile19-Ile20-Trp21), such as Ac-(D)Dip16-Leu-Asp-Ile-Ile-Trp21 (PD 142893) and Ac-DBhg16-Leu-Asp-Ile-Ile-Trp21 (PD 145065). However, these compounds are relatively unstable to enzymatic proteolysis as determined in an in vitro rat intestinal perfusate assay. This instability is thought to be due to carboxypeptidase activity. In fact, incubation of PD 145065 with carboxypeptidase inhibitors greatly increased its half-life in rat intestinal perfusate. By performing a reduced amide bond and N-methyl amino acid scan, it was discovered that N-methylation of Ile-20 resulted in a compound (Ac-DBhg16-Leu-Asp-Ile-[NMe]Ile-Trp21, PD 156252) that retained full receptor affinity at both endothelin receptor subtypes along with enhanced proteolytic stability and cellular permeability. Interestingly, N-methylation of this bond allows the cis configuration to be readily accessible which greatly alters the preferred structure of the entire molecule and may be responsible for the observed enhanced metabolic stability.

Development and comparison of the substrate scope of Pd-catalysts for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols.

[reaction: see text] Three catalysts for aerobic oxidation of alcohols are discussed and the effectiveness of each is evaluated for allylic, benzylic, aliphatic, and functionalized alcohols. Additionally, chiral nonracemic substrates as well as chemoselective and diastereoselective oxidations are investigated. In this study, the most convenient system for the Pd-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of alcohols is Pd(OAc)(2) in combination with triethylamine. This system functions effectively for the majority of alcohols tested and uses mild conditions (3 to 5 mol % of catalyst, room temperature). Pd(IiPr)(OAc)(2)(H(2)O) (1) also successfully oxidizes the majority of alcohols evaluated. This system has the advantage of significantly lowering catalyst loadings but requires higher temperatures (0.1 to 1 mol % of catalyst, 60 degrees C). A new catalyst is also disclosed, Pd(IiPr)(OPiv)(2) (2). This catalyst operates under very mild conditions (1 mol %, room temperature, and air as the O(2) source) but with a more limited substrate scope.

Isothermal kinetic study of nitric oxide adsorption and decomposition on Pd(111) surfaces: molecular beam experiments.

The kinetics of NO adsorption and dissociation on Pd(111) surfaces and the NO sticking coefficient (s(NO)) were probed by isothermal kinetic measurements between 300 and 525 K using a molecular beam instrument. NO dissociation and N2 productions were observed in the transient state from 425 K and above on Pd(111) surfaces with selective nitrogen production. Maximum nitrogen production was observed between 475 and 500 K. It was found that, at low temperatures, between 300 and 350 K, molecular adsorption occurs with a constant initial s(NO) of 0.5 until the Pd(111) surface is covered to about 70-80% by NO. Then s(NO) rapidly decreases with further increasing NO coverage, indicating typical precursor kinetics. The dynamic adsorption - desorption equilibrium on Pd(111) was probed in modulated beam experiments below 500 K. CO titration experiments after NO dosing indicate the diffusion of oxygen into the subsurface regions and beginning surface oxidation at > or = 475 K. Finally, we discuss the results with respect to the rate-limiting character of the different elementary steps of the reaction system.

Mixed aromatic-alkyne system on a Pd surface: a first-principles study.

The chemistry of mixed aromatic-alkyne systems on a metal surface is of general interest in many industrial processes. We use density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the chemistry of one such system (i.e., 1,4-diphenyl-butadiyne (DPB) in contact with Pd(110) and Pd(111) surfaces). Reaction pathways and the energetics of important processes are explored, including H2 adsorption, dissociation and migration on the metal surface, the DPB-metal interaction, the energetics of H uptake, and the effects of impurities such as CO and CO2 on H chemistry. We find that (i) strong aromatic-metal interaction leads to significant binding strength of the DPB molecule to both Pd surfaces, especially the (110); (ii) H2 molecules readily dissociate on the Pd surface into H-radicals, which get taken up by alkyne triple bonds; (iii) CO has strong binding to the metal surface, but interacts weakly with H radicals; and (iv) CO2 binds weakly to the metal surface, but could potentially lead to interesting chemical reactions with H.

Preparation and characterization of silica supported Au-Pd model catalysts.

Au-Pd bimetallic model catalysts were synthesized as alloy clusters on SiO2 ultrathin films under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions. The surface composition and morphology were characterized with low energy ion scattering spectroscopy (LEIS), infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS), and temperature programmed desorption (TPD). Relative to the bulk, the surface of the clusters is enriched in Au. With CO as a probe, IRAS and TPD were used to identify isolated Pd sites at the surface of the supported Au-Pd clusters. Ethylene adsorption and dehydrogenation show a clear structure-reactivity correlation with respect to the structure/composition of these Au-Pd model catalysts.

Structural transformation of Au-Pd bimetallic nanoclusters on thermal heating and cooling: a dynamic analysis.

Classical molecular dynamics simulation is used for structural thermodynamic and dynamic analysis of Au-Pd bimetallic clusters. It is observed that the Pd-core/Au-shell structure is the most stable, and can be formed through annealing of other structures such as Au-core/Pd-shell, eutecticlike, or solid solution. Depending on the starting temperature and initial composition, three-layer icosahedral nanorod, face-centered cubic (fcc) nanorod, and fcc cluster can be obtained on slow cooling. The three-layer icosahedral nanorod structure is not as stable as the Pd-core/Au-shell decahedron; however it is more stable than the solid-solution decahedron structure up to 400 K. Our findings provide valuable insight into catalysis using Au-Pd and other similar bimetallic clusters.

Carbon incorporation in Pd(111) by adsorption and dehydrogenation of ethene.

The decomposition of ethene on the Pd(111) surface was studied at effective pressures in the 10(-8) to 10(-7) mbar range and at sample temperatures between 300 and 700 K, using an effusive capillary array beam doser for directional adsorption, LEED, AES, temperature programmed reaction, and TDS. In the temperature range of 350-440 K increasingly stronger dehydrogenation of the ethene molecule is observed. Whereas at 350 K an ethylidyne adlayer is still present after adsorption, already at temperatures around 440 K complete coverage of the surface by carbon is attained, while the bulk still retains the properties of pure Pd. Beyond 440 K a steady-state surface C coverage is established, which decreases with temperature and is determined by detailed balancing between the ethene gas-phase adsorption rate and the migration rate of carbon into the Pd bulk. This process gives rise to the formation of a "partially carbon-covered Pd(x)C(y) surface". Above 540 K the surface-bulk diffusion of adsorbed carbon becomes fast, and in the UHV experiment the ethene adsorption rate becomes limited by the ethene gas-phase supply. The carbon bulk migration rate and the steady-state carbon surface coverage were determined as a function of the sample temperature and the ethene flux. An activation energy of 107 kJ mol(-1) for the process of C diffusion from surface adsorption sites into the subsurface region was derived in the temperature range of 400-650 K by modeling the C surface coverage as a function of temperature on the basis of steady-state reaction kinetics, assuming a first-order process for C surface-subsurface diffusion and a second-order process for C(ads) formation by dissociative C2H4 adsorption.
