Popis: The preparation and characterization of a series of new 2-phenylpyridine derivative ligands consisting of 2-(R) pyridine (R = mesityl (L1), 2,6-dimethylphenyl (L2), o-tolyl (L3), m-tolyl (L4), p-tolyl (L5), o-methoxyphenyl (L6), and p-methoxyphenyl (L7)) and their Pd complexes [PdCl2L2] (L1—L7) is investigated using a combination of X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, GC-MS, and NMR. The crystal structures show that the Pd complexes adopt a square planar geometry, and the monodentate ligand is coordinated through the N donor of the pyridine ring to the Pd atom. The catalytic activities of the synthesized complexes are investigated. The square planar Pd complex trans-[(2-mesitylpy)2PdCl2)] shows a high efficiency in promoting Suzuki—Miyaura cross coupling in an aqueous solvent under aerobic conditions.
