R. Broussier et al., Rhodium and palladium complexes from 1,1 ' and 1,2 ferrocenylphosphine as bidentate ligands. Versatile coordination, J ORGMET CH, 613(1), 2000, pp. 77-85
The complexation of the mixed bidentate ligands 1-diphenylphosphino-1'-diph
enylthiophosphinoferrocenyl and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl with r
hodium(I) and palladium(II) species yield a range of mono- and dirhodium or
palladium complexes. Their interest as possible catalysts for alkene hydro
formylation and alkoxycarbonylation and Heck coupling reactions has been as
sessed. Fe[C5Me4P(S)Ph-2][C5Me4PPh2]PdCl2 and Fe[C5H2-1,2-(PPh2)(2)-4-'Bul
[C5H5]PdCl2 have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction stu
dies. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
