Abstract:
Synthesis of a new phosphene-free nano-size formamidine-based palladium complex have been achieved. The molecular structure of novel palladium complex have been confirmed using spectroscopic methods of analysis as well as physical characterizations. The synthesized complex has been used as a catalyst for microwave assisted aqueous Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-coupling (SMC) of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid. The formamidine-based Pd(II)-complex exhibited excellent catalytic activity to obtain biaryls using mild reaction conditions.

Aqueous Solutions and Heats of Hydration
When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution because water molecules surround and solvate the ions, reducing the strong electrostatic forces between them. This process...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...
