Abstract
A new class of donor flexible nitrogen ligands, namely pyridylidene sulfonamides (PYSAs; N-(1-benzylpyridin-4(1H)-ylidene)benzene-sulfonamide, N-(1-benzylpyridin-4(1H)-ylidene)thiophene-2-sulfonamide, N-(1-benzylpyridin-4(1H)-ylidene)pyridine-2-sulfonamide and N-(1-benzylpyridin-4(1H)-ylidene)-8-quinoline-sulfonamide), were prepared from 4-amino-1-benzylpyridin-1-ium chloride and various aromatic sulfonyl chlorides. The treatment of PYSAs with [(CH3CN)2PdCl2] afforded the corresponding Pd(II) complexes. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by multinuclear 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their redox chemistry was then evaluated under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, both in the presence and absence of protons. An apparent interaction of CO2 with each Pd(II) catalyst was inferred by the collection of cyclic voltammograms and the enhancement of peak currents at respective peak potentials. All catalysts were robust under bulk electrolysis conditions over 3600 s.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
