The palladium(II) complexes [Pd(2Bz4oT)Cl], [Pd(2Bz4mT)Cl], and [Pd(2Bz4pT)Cl] were prepared with N(4)-ortho- (H2Bz4oT) N(4)-meta- (H2Bz4mT) and N(4)-para- (H2Bz4pT) tolyl-thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-benzoylpyridine. The free thiosemicarbazones proved to be highly cytotoxic against Jurkat, HL60 and the resistant HL60.Bcl-X(L) leukemia cell lines at nanomolar concentrations, but were much less cytotoxic to HepG2human hepatoma cells. Upon coordination to palladium(II) the cytotoxic activity against all studied cell lines decreases. However, the high cytotoxicity of the free thiosemicarbazones against leukemia, together with their hepatotoxic profile similar to that of cisplatin suggest that N(4)-tolyl thiosemicarbazones have potential as chemotherapeutic drug candidates.

Acid catalyzed condensation of -alkyltripyrranes with trialdehydes derived from 1,3-cyclopentadiene or methyl-1,3-cyclopentadiene, followed by oxidation with aqueous ferric chloride solutions, gave 23-alkyl-21-carbaporphyrin-2-carbaldehydes in 22-27% yield together with weakly aromatic oxycarbaporphyrins. The carbaporphyrins reacted with palladium(II) acetate or nickel(II) acetate to give organometallic complexes but in both cases alkyl group migration took place to generate 21-alkyl derivatives. Although this type of reactivity had been observed previously for palladium complexes, this is the first time the phenomenon has been seen in nickel(II) carbaporphyrins.

Efficient catalytic systems for various organic transformations in green solvents, especially water, are in great demand. Catalytically active bis-NHC complexes of palladium(II) based on imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid with different lipophilicities were obtained. The synthesis of imidazolium salts was complicated by the formation of side products of nucleophilic substitution by iodide ions in the Menshutkin reaction involving alkyl iodides, which was successfully resolved by using alkyl tosylates.

Two novel mononuclear palladium(II) complexes, [PdL1Cl]Cl (1) and [PdL2Cl]Cl (2) with SNS-donor ligands [where L1 = -(4-(benzo[]oxazol-2-yl)phenyl)-2-(bis(2-ethylthioethyl)amino)acetamide, L2 = -(4-(benzo[]thiazol-2-yl)phenyl)-2-(bis(2-ethylthioethyl)amino)acetamide], were synthesized and characterized. antiproliferative activity tests showed that the two palladium(II) complexes displayed excellent antiproliferative activity against all tested cancer cell lines, especially human colon cancer HCT-116, human liver cancer HepG-2, and human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. Spectacularly, complexes 1 and 2 exhibited approximately 8.

Article Synopsis
- - A new type of redox-active arylazoformamide (AAF) ligands has been developed and used in palladium(II) precatalysts to enhance the efficiency of the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction.
- - The study found that using a 1.0 mol % (AAF)PdCl precatalyst with cesium carbonate in 1,4-dioxane at 90 °C for 24 hours resulted in excellent conversions to biphenyl products across numerous examples.
- - In comparisons with other palladium and nickel complexes, the (AAF)PdCl complexes consistently outperformed others, suggesting they provide a novel and effective approach for redox-active palladium cross-coupling

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the synthesis of palladacycles (both dinuclear and mononuclear) using halide-substituted Schiff base ligands, which involve C-H activation when treated with palladium(II) compounds.
- Dinuclear complexes formed through metathesis with sodium chloride are converted into μ-chloride dinuclear complexes, which then react with phosphines to yield various phosphine derivatives.
- The synthesized compounds were characterized using techniques like microanalysis, spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, and their efficacy as pre-catalysts in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was evaluated, highlighting the best-performing complexes.
