نبذة مختصرة : Water-soluble salan ligands were synthesized by hydrogenation and subsequent sulfonation of salens (N,N&rsquo
bis(slicylidene)ethylenediamine and analogues) with various bridging units (linkers) connecting the nitrogen atoms. Pd (II) complexes were obtained in reactions of sulfosalans and [PdCl4]2&minus
Characterization of the ligands and complexes included extensive X-ray diffraction studies, too. The Pd (II) complexes proved highly active catalysts of the Suzuki&ndash
Miyaura reaction of aryl halides and arylboronic acid derivatives at 80 °
C in water and air. A comparative study of the Pd (II)&ndash
sulfosalan catalysts showed that the catalytic activity largely increased with increasing linker length and with increasing steric congestion around the N donor atoms of the ligands
the highest specific activity was 40,000 (mol substrate) (mol catalyst ×
h)&minus
1. The substrate scope was explored with the use of the two most active catalysts, containing 1,4-butylene and 1,2-diphenylethylene linkers, respectively.
