Abstract
Catalytic properties of the camphor-derived complexes trans-[PdCl2(L1)2], R = Me2N (1), i-Pr (3), C6H5 (4), in PhC≡CMe cyclotrimerization are highly dependent on the characteristics of the R group. Their activity decreases in the order 1 > 3 > 4. The effects of geometric and/or electronic parameters on the catalytic activity of the complexes are evaluated on the basis of X-ray and electrochemical data.
