Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Catalytic Application of Ferrocenyl Based Bis(pyrazolyl) Palladium Complexes.

Here we report, synthesis of ferrocenyl based bis(pyrazolyl) palladium complexes. The catalytic utility of the complexes in the cross-coupling of triarylbismuthanes and aryl bromides was evaluated. Our ferrocenyl based palladium complex showed wide substrate scope for both triarylbismuthanes and aryl bromides.

Synthesis and characterization of poly(tetraphenylimidazole)s and their application in the detection of fluoride ions.

Here, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a silyl protected tetraphenylimidazole monomer and its homo and co-polymer. The requisite monomer was accessed by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of 2-(1-(4-bromophenyl)-4,5-diphenyl-1-imidazol-2-yl)phenol and 4-vinylphenylboronic acid followed by protection of the phenolic group by -butyl(chloro)diphenylsilane. The desired polymers were readily synthesized by using free radical polymerization.
