A constrained binuclear palladium catalyst system affords selective thioetherification of a wide range of functionalized arenethiols with chloroheteroaromatic partners with the highest turnover numbers (TONs) reported to date and tolerates a large variety of reactive functions. The scope of this system includes the coupling of thiophenols with six- and five-membered 2-chloroheteroarenes (i.e., functionalized pyridine, pyrazine, quinoline, pyrimidine, furane, and thiazole) and 3-bromoheteroarenes (i.e., pyridine and furane). Electron-rich congested thiophenols and fluorinated thiophenols are also suitable partners. The coupling of unprotected amino-2-chloropyridines with thiophenol and the successful employment of synthetically valuable chlorothiophenols are described with the same catalyst system. DFT studies attribute the high performance of this binuclear palladium catalyst to the decreased stability of thiolate-containing resting states. Palladium loading was as low as 0.2 mol %, which is important for industrial application and is a step forward in solving catalyst activation/deactivation problems.

A novel binuclear palladium complex has been synthesized by the reaction of tetramethylethylenediamine palladium nitrate and sodium salt of pyromellitic acid. UV vis, NMR as well as fluorescent titration techniques show that this binuclear palladium complex interacts with neurotransmitter dopamine. The fluorescence of the palladium complex in aqueous solution gets enhanced with the gradual addition of the neurotransmitter dopamine which makes this complex to act as a turn on fluorescent sensor for neurotransmitter dopamine.

The search for novel anticancer agents to replace the current platinum-based treatments remains an ongoing process. Palladacycles have shown excellent promise as demonstrated by our previous work which yielded BTC2, a binuclear palladadycle with a non-ionisable polyethylene glycol (PEG) tether. Here, we explore the importance of the PEG-tether length on the anticancer activity of the binuclear palladacycles by comparing three analogous binuclear palladacycles, BTC2, BTC5 and BTC6, in the oestrogen receptor positive MCF7 and triple-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers synthesized amidinatotetrylenes containing either germanium (Ge) or tin (Sn) attached to quinol-8-yl fragments, which exhibit fluxional behavior in solution due to oscillation between bonding configurations.
  • The reactivity of the hmds group allows for further deprotonation and formation of homoleptic derivatives with additional bqfam.
  • Various transition metal complex reactions revealed distinct bonding behaviors: gold(I) complexes exhibited monodentate ligand coordination, while palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes formed κ-chloridotetrylene ligands, and ruthenium(0) and cobalt(0) complexes demonstrated bridging behavior with the amidinate N atoms.

The design and development of proton conduction materials for clean energy-related applications is obviously important and highly desired but challenging. An ultrastable cobalt-based metal-organic framework , formulated as [Co(btzip)(μ-OH)] (namely, , Hbtzip = 4, 6-bis(triazol-1-yl)-isophthalic acid) had been successfully synthesized via the hydrothermal method. exhibits a three-dimensional framework and a one-dimensional microporous channel structure with topology based on the binuclear metallic cluster {Co}.

Heterogeneous single-metal-site catalysts usually suffer from poor stability, thereby limiting industrial applications. Dual Pd -Ru single-atom-sites supported on porous ionic polymers (Pd -Ru /PIPs) were constructed using a wetness impregnation method. The two isolated metal species in the form of a binuclear complex were immobilized on the cationic framework of PIPs through ionic bonds.
