Electric Literature of 14871-92-2, Catalysts function by providing an alternate reaction mechanism that has a lower activation energy than would be found in the absence of the catalyst. In some cases, the catalyzed mechanism may include additional steps.In a article, 14871-92-2, molcular formula is C10H8Cl2N2Pd, introducing its new discovery.
The reaction of MCl2 (M = Pd, Pt) with one mole-equivalent of L [L = 2-(MeSCH2)C5H4N (L1), 2-(PhSCH2)C5H4N (L2), 2-(MeSeCH 2)C5H4N (L3)] in MeCN gave the monomeric complexes [MCl2L] in good yields, Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of [MCl2L2] confirmed the complexes to be monomeric with square-planar geometry about the metal centre. Variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy showed that the complexes undergo fluxional processes in solution, which were confirmed, by DFT calculations, to be (E)-pyramidal inversion at the chalcogen centre rather than ring-flip or (E)-dissociation processes. The calculations showed that the barrier to inversion increases in the order S
