Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Palladium-catalyzed reactions are of vital importance in organic synthesis. Palladium catalysts have played a fundamental role in the development of a wide variety of transformations due to its versatility and high functional group tolerance. Indeed, nowadays, palladium-catalyzed reactions are routinely employed as powerful synthetic tools, both in academia and industry. Particularly interesting have been the results in the advances of new catalyst development, which have enabled to perform difficult transformations with unactivated substrates using low catalyst loadings under mild and green reaction conditions.

This Special Issue will mainly focus on the latest advances and novel trends in the field of palladium catalysts, ranging from basic research and characterization studies to the development of highly active catalysts and their application in different redox processes, cross-coupling, as well as C–H activation reactions.

A new pair of plladium complexes (Pd4 and Pd5) ligated with constrained N-(5,6,7-trihydroquinolin-8-ylidene)arylamine ligands have been prepared and well characterized by 1H-, 13C-NMR and FTIR spectroscopies as well as elemental analysis. The molecular structure of Pd4 and Pd5 in solid state have also been determined by X-ray diffraction, showing slightly distorted square planar geometry around the palladium metal center. All complexes Pd1–Pd5 are revealed highly efficient catalyst in methyl acrylate (MA) polymerization as well as methyl acrylate/norbornene (MA/NB) copolymerization. In the case of MA polymerization, as high as 98.4% conversion with high molecular weight up to 6282 kg·mol−1 was achieved. Likewise, Pd3 complex has good capability to incorporate about 18% NB content into MA polymer chains. Furthermore, low catalyst loadings (0.002 mol %) of Pd4 or Pd5 are able to efficiently mediate the coupling of haloarenes with styrene affording up to 98% conversion. Full article

A series of supported Pd/ZrO2 catalysts with Pd loading from 0.2 to 2 wt % was synthesized. The ZrO2 material prepared by a similar technique was used as a reference sample. The samples have been characterized by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), testing reaction of ethane hydrogenolysis (HGE), N2 adsorption, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene was used as a probe molecule for the EPR spin probe method. The catalytic performance of samples was tested in the model reaction of CO oxidation. It was shown that the concentration of donor sites of support measured by EPR spin probe correlates with catalytic behavior during light-off tests. Low concentration of donor sites on a support’s surface was found to be caused by the presence of the specific surface defects that are related to existence of coordinately unsaturated structures.

A water-soluble PdCl2(NH3)2/cationic 2,2′-bipyridyl system was found to be a highly efficient catalyst for Stille coupling of aryl iodides and bromides with organostannanes. The coupling reaction was conducted at 110 °C in water, under aerobic conditions, in the presence of NaHCO3 as a base to afford corresponding Stille coupling products in good to high yields. When aryltributylstannanes were employed, the reactions proceeded smoothly under a very low catalyst loading (as little as 0.0001 mol %). After simple extraction, the residual aqueous phase could be reused in subsequent runs, making this Stille coupling economical. In the case of tetramethylstannane, however, a greater catalyst loading (1 mol %) and the use of tetraethylammonium iodide as a phase-transfer agent were required in order to obtain satisfactory yields.
