摘要:
A series of synthetically accessible ligands based on new 2-(R-sulfonamido)benzamide have been prepared (R = methyl for H3M; R = 4-toly for H3T and T2CN; R = 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl for H(3)iP and HiPCN). The R-substituents were selected to vary in sizes. Allowing ligand H(3)iP and palladium acetate to stand in solvent leads to self-assembly of the well-defined solvent- and stoichiometry-controlled tetranuclear or hexanuclear coordination macromolecules Pd-4(iP)(2) and (PdHiP)(6), which were analysed by X-ray crystallography. It was observed that palladium active species for Suzuki coupling catalysis could be stabilized by these simple and synthetically assessable N-donor ligands as revealed by turnover frequencies reaching 5500h(-1). Electronic features of these N-donors appear to be more important than the steric properties. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
