Pd cluster catalysis: a review of reactions under anaerobic conditions

Reaction between palladium(II) and gallium(III) halogenides in arenes: influence of halogen nature on the formation of binuclear palladium(I) clusters

“…The structure, chemistry and catalytic properties of clusters with Pd-Pd bonds were recently reviewed [2,3]. These compounds take part in a wide range of catalytic reactions: isomerization of double C-C bonds [4,5], hydrogenation of multiple bonds [6][7][8], hydrogen-transfer reduction [9][10][11] and carbonylation [12][13][14][15].…”

A new synthesis for thermolabile low-valent palladium complexes by electron transfer reactions from nickel(0) to palladium(II) compounds

“…Dimeric Pd(I) complexes have been intensively investigated due to their importance in homogeneous catalytic reactions, as model complexes for clusters and for metallic surfaces [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Dimeric Pd(I) complexes, however, consisting only of the Pd 2 Cl 2 core and olefins (e.g.…”

“…Therefore we continued our investigations in this area and here we report on new procedures for the formation of the thermolabile and extremely reactive low-valent palladium(I) and palladium(0) complexes [Pd 2 X 2 (cod) 2 ] (1: X = Cl, 2: X = Br), Pd(cod) 2 (3) and Pd(norbornene) 3 (4) by using [Ni(bpy)(cod)] as reducing reagent. Furthermore, we describe the X-ray structures of 1, 3, and 4.…”

PdII–PdII bonding interaction in dinuclear PdII complex with non-macrocyclic (O&N) chelates: Characterization, kinetics and DFT study

“…In the last several years, different research groups have targeted to synthesize Pd I and Pd II complexes persisting with metal-metal bonding interaction with different types of ligands by tuning the steric and electronic factors [2][3][4] using bridging or without bridging supports [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. However, only a few Pd II dinuclear complexes with metal-metal [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] interactions have been described so far.…”
