The reactions of FeCl3·6H2O and 2‐(2′‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐thiazoline as a bidentate O‐N donor thiazoline ligand (thoz) afford a five‐coordinate FeIII complex [Fe(thoz)2Cl] with a distorted square pyramidal configuration. Complex [Fe(thoz)2Cl] was isolated as air‐stable crystalline solids and fully characterized, including by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis. Complex [Fe(thoz)2Cl] shows very efficient reactivity in the oxidation of sulfides to their corresponding sulfoxides using urea hydrogen peroxide (UHP) as the oxidant at room temperature in air.

Palladium(II)-Phosphazane Complexes. -The catalyst generated in situ from Pd(OAc) 2 and LIG shows good activity in the Suzuki reaction of aryl halides (I) with arylboronic acids (II). The phosphazane ligand is easily prepared from PCl3 and PhNH2. -(AMINI*, M.; TARASSOLI, A.; YOUSEFI, S.; DELSOUZ-HAFSHEJANI, S.; BIGDELI, M.; SALEHIFAR, M.; Chin. Chem.
