Synthesis, characterization and thermal decomposition of [Pd2 (C²-dmba) (µ-SO4) (SO2)2]

The bridged sulphate complex [Pd2 (C²,dmba) (µ-SO4) (SO2)2] has been obtained by reacting a saturated solution of SO2 in methanol and the cyclometallated compound [Pd(C²,N-dmba)(µ-N3)] 2; (dmba = N,N-dimethylbenzylamine), at room temperature for 24 h. Reaction product was characterized by elemental analysis, NMR comprising 13C{¹H} and ¹H nuclei and I.R. spectrum's measurements. Thermal behavior has been investigated and residual products identified by X-ray powder diffraction.

Síntese e atividade citotóxica de alguns azido-ciclopaladados estabilizados com ligantes bifosfínicos

Some cyclopalladated compounds containing the azido group ligand and the (C-N) ring of N,N-dimethylbenzylamine have been prepared by bridge opening reactions of dimmer azide complex precursor with some diphosphines in different stoichiometric quantities. The neutral or ionic, mono or binuclear complexes synthesized were characterized by elemental analyses, I. R. spectroscopy and NMR techniques. The series of complexes was screened for cytotoxicity against a panel three human tumour cells lines(C6,Hep-2,HeLa). All complexes were found to be cytotoxic (IC50) at µM concentrations while one complex having the coordination bond N-Pd ruptured also displayed some differential cytotoxicity.

Reação de bis-inserção de 1,2-difenilacetileno na ligação Pd-C de ciclometalados

The present paper deals with the bis-insertion reactions of 1,2-diphenylacetylene into Pd-C bond of the cyclopalladated complexes [Pd(dmba)(µ-NCO)]2 (1) and [Pd(dmba)(MeCN)2](NO3) (2) (dmba = N,N-dimethylbenzylamine, MeCN = acetonitrile). Two new complexes [Pd{PhC=CPh-CPh=CPhC6H4CH2N(CH 3)2}(NCO)] (3) and [Pd{PhC=CPh-CPh=CPhC6H4CH2N(CH 3)2}(NO3 )] (4) were obtained and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis.

Síntese e emprego do ciclometalado [Pd(dmba)(N3)(PPh3)] em processos catalíticos envolvendo a n-carbonilação redutiva de nitroarenos a carbamatos e na síntese de derivados da uréia

This work deals with the use of the cyclometallated compound [Pd(dmba)(N3)(PPh3)] in homogeneous catalytic processes comprising the reductive N-carbonylation of nitrobenzene and p-nitrotoluene to ethyl-phenylcarbamate and ethyl-4-methylphenylcarbamate, respectively. The cyclopalladated compound was also employed in the synthesis of urea derivatives by reacting p-nitrotoluene and m-nitrotoluene, respectively, with p-toluidine and and m-chloroaniline.
