We have studied the oxidativeaddition of some organichalides on palladium(0) dimethylfumarate complexes bearing heteroditopic (N–P or N–S) quinoline-based spectator ligands from the experimental and theoretical point of view. We have measured the half-life of some oxidativeaddition reactions carried out in two different solvents (CD2Cl2 and CD3CN). The reactions were studied under mild conditions
elemental analysis sixteen Pt(0) derivatives stabilized by four different thioquinoline spectator ligands and four different deactivated olefins. Moreover we have studied the reactivity and proposed a mechanism for olefin-olefin, olefin-alkyne exchange and oxidative addition of alkyl halides to this new class of Pt(0) derivatives based on detailed kinetic measurements. The kinetic study was carried out by
Attack of Substituted Alkynes on Olefin Palladium(0) Derivatives of Pyridylthioethers. The First Kinetic Study on the Mechanism of Formation of Palladacyclopentadiene Complexes
The formation of metallacyclopentadienyl derivatives was studied under controlled conditions, and the kinetics and mechanism of reactions between pyridylthioether olefin Pd(0) substrates and substituted alkynes of the type ZC⋮CZ (Z = COOMe, COOEt, COOt-Bu) leading to the corresponding palladacyclopentadienyl species were systematically investigated. In the case of less hindered ancillary ligands the
A series of Pt(0)-η2-olefin complexes bearing 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) or N-heterocyclic carbenes are prepared following different synthetic strategies depending on the nature of coordinated alkene and spectator ligands. These new platinum(0) derivatives have been tested in vitro as anticancer agents toward three different tumor (human ovarian cancer A2780 and A2780cis and K562 myelogenous
