Popis: | A detailed electrochemical study of the reduction of the five-coordinate complexes [Pd(mtas)2]2+ and [Pd(ptas)2]2+ (mtas = bis(2-(dimethylarsino)phenyl)methylarsine; ptas = bis(2-(dimethylarsino)phenyl)phenylarsine) has been undertaken in acetonitrile and dichloromethane. When cyclic voltammetry is carried out in acetonitrile at room temperature using conventional scan rates, the main voltammetric feature is a single apparently quasireversible two-electron reduction step. A small peak due to reduction of the Pd(I) dimer [Pd2(L3)2]2+ (L3 = mtas, ptas) formed in a follow-up reaction is also observed. At lower temperatures and faster scan rates, splitting of the two-electron reduction and associated oxidation peak occurs, enabling the thermodynamics and kinetics of the individual one-electron steps to be examined. The intermediate monomeric Pd(I) species are thermodynamically unstable with respect to disproportionation, but slow (relative to the experimental time scale) electrode kinetics for the Pd(I/0) cou... |
