Interaction of Benzene-1,2-diamines with Isocyanide: Mechanism

Interaction of Benzene-1,2-diamines with Isocyanide Complexes of Palladium(II): Insight into the Mechanism

In pursuit of our studies we have observed that 4,5-dimethylbenzene-1,2-diamine  is significantly more reactive than 4-toluidine in the Pd(II)-mediated coupling with isocyanides. We established that the reason for such enhanced reactivity is a stepwise mechanism of the coupling for 4,5-dimethylbenzene-1,2-diamine that includes an intramolecular nucleophilic attack on the coordinated isocyanide. Reaction of 4,5-dimethylbenzene-1,2-diamine with palladium-iscocyanides led to the first mixed bis(diaminocarbene) complex containing two different diaminocarbene ligands.

Cyclometalated Platinum(II) Complexes Simultaneously Catalyze the Cross-Linking of Polysiloxanes and Function as Luminophores Full text: ACS Appl. Polym. Mater., 2021, 3, 857 Write for free PDF A family of the C,N-cyclometalated species [Pt(ppy)Cl(PPh3)], [Pt(ppy)Cl(CNCy)], [Pt(ppy)(CNCy)(PPh3)](OTf), and [Pt(ppy)(CNCy)2](BF4) (ppy = 2-phenylpyridinato-C2,N; Cy = cyclohexyl) was generated from [Pt(ppy)(μ-Cl)]2, CNCy, and PPh3. The obtained platinum(II) complexes were characterized by high-resolution ESI+-MS, IR, and 1D (1H, 13C{1H}, 195Pt{1H}) and 2D (1H,1H-NOESY; 1H,13C-HSQC; 1H,13C-HMBC) NMR spectroscopy, and the latter three complexes were investigated by X-ray diffraction. All four platinum species were examined as hydrosilylation catalysts (c 10–4–10–3 M; 80–120 °C; [Pt(ppy)Cl(PPh3)] exhibited the highest catalytic activity) for the cross-linking of vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane and polymethylhydrosiloxane to achieve luminescent silicone rubbers. Each solid complex and the...
