New complexes of 1,1´ bisisoquinoline with PdCl 2 and NiCl 2 were synthesized. The struc tures of the complexes were established by X ray diffraction. The Pd II complex acts as a catalyst for the Suzuki and Heck reactions and the hydroarylation of norbornene. As exemplified by the Suzuki reaction, the Ni II complex can also be used as a catalyst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
