Abstract
The introduction (Chapter 1) provides an overview of the main topics encountered in
the thesis including the stepwise generation of multimetallic assemblies based on
different chelating ligands gold nanoparticles and surface functionalization palladium-
based catalysts (homogeneous and heterogeneous) This last part focuses on C-H
functionalization and Suzuki-Miyaura reactions reporting examples and dealing with
the recovery process and re-use of palladium from secondary sources
Chapter 2 outlines the stepwise generation of mono- bi- and multimetallic assemblies
based on different polyfunctional ligands including dicarboxylates pyridine derivatives
and dithiocarbamates The synthesis and characterisation of the novel complexes are
described along with the immobilisation of a ruthenium compound bearing a disulfide
ligand on the surface of gold and palladium nanoparticles
In the third Chapter the research focus shifts to the synthesis and characterisation of
mono- and bi-metallic novel palladium complexes bearing dithiocarbamate ligands In
addition the preparation of palladium dithiooxamide complexes derived from
secondary sources (spent catalytic converters) is described All the palladium
complexes were screened as potential homogeneous catalysts in the C-H activation
of benzo[h]quinoline and 8-methylquinoline The optimisation of the reaction
conditions by varying three different factors catalyst loading temperature and time is
tested and discussed
In Chapter 4 the use of simple and commercially available iodine and a
tetrabutylammonium salt as leaching agents in a palladium recovery process is
described The reactivity of bimetallic palladium complexes generated from the
process was then investigated in the C-H activation and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-
coupling reactions Furthermore a novel route to produce a variety Pd(II) catalyst via
ligand exchange reaction of bimetallic palladium complex with inexpensive phosphine
ligands is also presented These catalysts were tested using electron- donating and
withdrawing substrates in the cross-coupling reaction of phenylboronic acid
viii
Chapter 5 extends the scope of the research to heterogeneous catalysis The
preparation characterisation and immobilisation of novel palladium(II)
dithiocarbamate complexes are described along with construction of silica and silica-
coated iron-oxide nanoparticles and the support of the complex on the nanoparticles
The reactivity of unsupported and supported complexes toward C-H functionalization
of benzo[h]quinoline is discussed
The overall conclusions of the thesis are discussed in Chapter 6
Experimental procedures related to the synthesis characterisation and catalytic
studies of the compounds in Chapter 2 to 5 are detailed in Chapter 7

1 Applications of multimetallic assemblies in catalysis
11 Generation of multimetallic complexes based on different chelating ligands
111 Why prepare multimetallic compounds
The inclusion of more than one metal centre within the same assembly might offer many
benefits especially if the properties of different metals are exploited A multimetallic
compound whether molecular or nanoscale in nature opens up new possibilities in a
variety of applications such as catalysis imaging and sensing1 Two popular
approaches in the construction of multimetallic assemblies containing large numbers of
metals are coordination polymers2 and metal-organic framework3 In these two cases
however most commonly multiple atoms of one single metal are linked
The preparation of multimetallic systems featuring two (or more) different metals is
considered to be a challenging task which often requires protectiondeprotection
strategies4 Otherwise specific donor combinations in the linkers can be tailored to be
selective for certain metals over others5 This can be best explained using Hard and
Soft acid-base (HSAB) theory In general lsquohardrsquo chemical species are small have a high
charge and are weakly polarizable while the reverse is the case for species termed
lsquosoftrsquo Essentially hard acids react preferentially (but not exclusively) to form stronger
bonds with hard bases and soft species tend to share a similar affinity for one another6
The differences in donor affinity have inspired much of the work in this thesis and led to
the exploration of the use of polyfunctional ligands containing a mixture of soft and hard
donor groups (oxygen nitrogen and sulfur) in the construction of multimetallic
assemblies Therefore it is appropriate that some background information is presented
on carboxylate dithiocarbamate and pyridine and ligands which are commonly used to
generate multimetallic systems
2
112 Dicarboxylates as linkers
Carboxylate groups have long been considered one of the most useful ligands in the
construction of metal complexes In a basic environment the parent carboxylic acid
will release a proton to form a carboxylate anion which is stabilised due to electron
delocalisation between the two electronegative oxygen atoms in the resonance
structure (Figure 111)7
Figure 111 Resonance structure of carboxylate anion
The versatile carboxylate anion (RCO2-) can then coordinate to metals in many
different ways whether in a monodentate mode or asymmetric and unsymmetric
chelates It can also act as a bridging bidentate ligand (syn-syn syn-anti or anti-anti)
(Figure 112)8
Figure 112 Binding modes of carboxylate anions8
Of the many carboxylate complexes known perhaps the most interesting ones have
four carboxylate ligands bridging two metal centres to form a lsquopaddle-wheel structurersquo
3
(Figure 113 A)8 This type of coordination allows the formation of a rigid lattice
structure and the presence of coordinative-unsaturation at the metal centres allow for
further reactivity including in catalysis Furthermore an impressive study by Whitwood
and co-workers has demonstrated a good catalytic activity in the addition of carboxylic
acids to propargyl alcohols to afford β-oxopropyl esters using ruthenium carboxylate
complex (Figure 113 B)9
Figure 113 A) Molecular structure of molybdenum acetate with lsquopaddle-wheelrsquo motif (Mo Blue O red C grey)8 B) cis-[Ru(κ2-O2CMe)2(PPh3)2] catalyst for the synthesis of β-oxopropyl esters9
113 Dithiocarbamates as linkers
In the history of the development of multimetallic complexes dithiocarbamates (DTCs)
have been widely employed as chelating agents as the sulfur lone pairs show a high
affinity towards metal centres in a range of oxidation states to form complexes
Debus10 reported the first examples of dithiocarbamic acids in the 1850s and there
has been substantial interest in DTC ligands over the intervening 160 years due to
their ability to stabilise both high and low oxidation states of different metals10 The
free DTC ligand is somewhat unstable in the acid form (dithiocarbamic acid) and so
DTCs are typically prepared as a salt by treating secondary amines with carbon
disulfide (CS2) in the presence of a strong base at room temperature in solvents such
as water methanol or ethanol This often leads to a quantitative yield of the DTC
product in its salt form (Equation 1)11
4
Equation 1 General equation for dithiocarbamate synthesis
The ability of DTC ligands to stabilise metals in various oxidation states can be
attributed to its two resonance forms The dithiocarbamate and thioureide forms can
stabilise low and high oxidation states respectively (Figure 114)11 If the
dithiocarbamate resonance form dominates the ligand will possess strong-field
characteristics while the thioureide form leads to more weak-field character The
degree to which each form contributes to the structure can be determined by
assessing the double bond character of the bond between the nitrogen and the carbon
in the S2C-N unit for example by X-ray crystallography This also leads to the
restricted rotation of this bond which is observed spectroscopically (eg NMR)11
Figure 114 DTC resonance forms
Delepine described the first example of a transition metal dithiocarbamate complex in
190712 Since this report a vast number of transition metal complexes (in all common
oxidation states) bearing a DTC ligand have been prepared1213 displaying a variety
of binding modes (Figure 115) The most common dithiocarbamate chelating
bidentate binding mode is A which is found with most transition metals This bidentate
coordination can be symmetrical A(1) or unsymmetrical A(2) the latter being known
as anisobidentate DTC ligands can also adopt a monodentate binding mode (B) with
the metal centre especially in the presence of sterically bulky co-ligands or when
linear coordination is favoured Monodentate dithiocarbamate coordination is quite
common in gold(I) chemistry for the latter reason14 The DTC can also bridge two
metals via mode C Complexes of gold in mono- or trivalent form commonly adopt
coordination mode C through the binding of the sulfur atom to a single metal centre15
5
Figure 115 Binding modes of DTC ligands
The potential for dithiocarbamates to be employed in metal-directed self-assembly has
been reviewed by Cookson and Beer13 Complex ring systems including
interpenetrating examples are accessible through the use of the versatile and easily
functionalised dithiocarbamate ligand (Figure 116)
Figure 116 Formation of dinuclear macrocyclic and macrocyclic complexes using dithiocarbamates13
The Wilton-Ely group has demonstrated that dithiocarbamate ligands can act as
excellent linkers to join transition metal units A significant finding was the stepwise
protocol for the synthesis of multimetallic complexes containing piperazine-based
dithiocarbamates as ligands This can be achieved by the isolation of a zwitterionic
dithiocarbamate species a molecule in which one end is activated (towards metals)
and the other (ammonium end) is protected Once the monometallic-dithiocarbamate
6
species is formed it can be used as a starting point for further transformations
Different types of transition metals can be added to the other end of the linker once
properly activated to form multimetallic species (Figure 117)1617
Figure 117 Piperazine-based dithiocarbamate complexes17
114 Mixed donor ligands derived from carboxylate and pyridine as linkers
The combination of dicarboxylate and pyridine functional groups in a linker offers
excellent potential for the generation of heteromultimetallic systems Mixed-donor
ligands such as pyridine-4-carboxylic acid 4-(4-pyridyl)benzoic acid and 4-
cyanobenzoic acid18 have been reported as suitable linkers for the construction of
hetero-nuclear bi- tri- and pentametallic systems based on the individual donor
properties toward certain metals (Ru Rh Pd Pt Ag and Au) Figure 118 shows the
stepwise construction of heteromultimetallic assemblies comprising various transition
metals using this approach18

12 Gold nanoparticles and surface functionalisation
Michael Faraday first reported the well-defined synthesis of colloidal gold and made
the observation that a deep-red solution resulted from the reduction of aqueous
tetrachloroaurate (AuCl4macr) by phosphorus in carbon disulfide solvent19 However the
most reliable methods to synthesise well-defined gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were
reported by Turkevich20 and Brust-Schiffrin21 The Turkevich method also known as
the ldquocitrate reduction methodrdquo employs sodium citrate as both reducing agent and
temporary capping agent20 The citrate shell can be displaced by adding thiol units
without changing the average size of the nanoparticles Nanoparticles in the size range
10 - 50 nm are typically formed and the size can be controlled through variation of
temperature and gold citrate ratio
Brust and Schiffrin reported a one-pot synthesis of AuNPs which produced an air
stable product with good control over the particle size (3 ndash 30 nm)21 Their original
approach employs tetraoctylammonium bromide (TOAB) as a phase-transfer reagent
to take aqueous AuCl4 into a toluene solution This is followed by the reduction of
AuCl4 by sodium borohydride in the presence of a thiol In general this two-phase
synthesis approach exploits the strong affinity of the thiol units for the gold surface to
enhance the stability of the nanoparticle (Figure 121)

Gold nanoparticles functionalised with transition metal units are receiving increasing
attention for their applications in nanotechnology particularly in catalysis and
sensing22 A pioneering work by Tremel and co-workers reported the surface
functionalization of gold nanoparticles with thiols bearing a ruthenium dimer which
successfully catalysed the ring-opening metathesis polymerisation of norbornene23 In
addition the surface functionalization of gold nanoparticles with a ferrocene units
through a modification of the Brust-Schiffrin method allows for the selective recognition
and binding of oxoanions which can then be sensed electrochemically24
However thiols (and thiolates) can be displaced from the AuNP surface through the
phenomenon known as stapling which consists of the gold atoms being lifted from the
surface allowing some of the surface units to be lost as a molecular gold-dithiolate
species2526 This issue has led to the search for a new generation of linkers capable
of tethering transition metal units to the gold surface without loss of product An
attractive alternative is the use of bifunctional dithiocarbamate ligands as their
interatomic S-S distances are close to ideal for epitaxial adsorption on the gold
surface Beer and co-workers showed that ruthenium or zinc units could be attached
to the surface of AuNPs using bipyridine or porphyrin chelates tethered to a
dithiocarbamate moiety These constructs have found application as anion
sensors2728 However the use of dithiocarbamate tethers to attach transition metals
is still not widespread with the majority of new examples being reported by the Wilton-
Ely group (Figure 122)1617

13 Applications of multimetallic assemblies in catalysis
131 Homogeneous vs heterogeneous catalysis
The general definition of a catalyst is a substance that lowers the activation barrier of
a given reaction without being consumed during the transformation This property
leads to an increase in the rate of reaction allowing an excellent conversion in a short
time The most effective catalysts employed by industry in large-scale reactions to
produce organic compounds are based on transition metals29 The most famous
example is the utilisation of an iron catalyst in the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia
production which is critical for the fertiliser industry worldwide30 Conventionally
catalysis is divided into two different categories homogeneous and heterogeneous
catalysis
Homogeneous catalysis takes place when the catalyst and the reagents are in the
same phase This allows for better interaction leading to better activity A simple
modification of the nature of the ligand or the transition metal allows for tuning of the
steric and electronic properties generating better activity and selectivity31 In lab-scale
experiments the homogeneous catalyst is usually soluble in the solvent together with
the reactants providing the advantage of allowing the monitoring of the progression
of the reaction through spectroscopic methods such as infrared or nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR) spectroscopy
10
However homogeneous catalysts experience a significant drawback in that the
catalyst recovery requires specific treatment processes to separate it from the
products Moreover the issue of stability under high temperatures and pressures is a
limitation for some catalytic reactions on an industrial scale32
In contrast heterogeneous catalysts are in a different phase to the reactants (usually
in solid form in contact with liquids or gases) Heterogeneous catalysts are used in
numerous industrial applications such as ammonia production30 and catalytic
cracking33 due to their exceptional properties easy recovery durability and high
catalytic activity34 Nevertheless one of the main limitations of heterogeneous
catalysis is associated with the low number of active species in respect to the mass
which affects the rate of reaction A possible solution is to maximise the interface
interaction between the phases by using nanoparticle sized catalysts which can
disperse in the reaction mixture like homogeneous catalysts34 The difference between
homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis is summarised in Table 13135

132 Oxidative functionalisation of C-H bonds
Carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds are covalent and exist in all organic molecules36 These
bonds allow a carbon atom to share its outer valence electrons with up to four
hydrogens Carbon-hydrogen bonds have a distinctive bond strength between 85 and
105 kcalmol and they are inert to homolytic and heterolytic cleavage37 Thus it
remains relatively challenging to transform an inert C-H bond into carbon-oxygen (C-
O) carbon-halogen (C-X) carbon-nitrogen (C-N) carbon-sulfur (C-S) or carbon-
carbon (C-C) bond
11
In 1955 Murahashi reported the first example of the C-H functionalization of 2-
phenylisoindolin-1-one in good yield from (E)-N-1-diphenylmethanimine catalysed by
cobalt complexes in the presence of carbon monoxide The ortho C-H bond in the
phenyl group is cleaved to form a new C-C bond in the reaction and afford the desired
product (Figure 131)38 These pioneering reports led to numerous later studies on C-
H cleavage catalysed by transition metals species39
Figure 131 Cobalt-catalysed C-H activation
Zeng and co-workers reported the use of pyridine N-oxide directing group for C-H
activation of acyclic systems as illustrated in Figure 132 (A) to form a product of 2-
(2-Benzyl-3-phenylpropanamido)pyridine-1-oxide40 An elegent contribution by Blakey
and co-workers described conditions for C-H functionalization of benzobisthiazole with
2-bromopyridine catalysed by palladium and copper complexes (Figure 132 B)41 A
versatile example of Cu-catalysed oxidation cycloalkane was demonstrated in the
conversion of benzaldehyde with cyclohexane to form intended product (Figure 132
C)42
Figure 132 Transition metal-catalysed C-H functionalization

1321 Mechanism and challenges
The chemistry of C-H functionalization has expanded rapidly since these discoveries
There are numerous theories regarding the mechanism of C-H functionalization
catalysed by transition metals The well-established mechanistic manifolds
popularised by Sanford are known as ldquoinner sphererdquo and ldquoouter sphererdquo
mechanisms37 The inner sphere mechanism (Figure 133) involves a two-step
reaction with (i) cleavage of the C-H bond to allow the formation of an organometallic
intermediate followed by (ii) insertion of the new functional group through
functionalization of an organometallic intermediate by reaction with either an external
reagent or at the metal centre37
Figure 133 Inner Sphere Mechanism
The critical feature of this mechanism is the formation of an organometallic
intermediate after the cleavage of the C-H bond either by oxidative addition or
electrophilic substitution (Figure 134) Transition metals such as Zr(II) Ru(0) and Ir(I)
are known to promote oxidative addition through direct insertion of the metal into a C-
H bond leading to an increase by two units of the oxidation state of the metal In
contrast the electrophilic substitution promoted by for example Pd(II) Pt(II) and
Rh(III) no change in oxidation state occurs because the covalently bound carbon
replaces a ligand43 The inner sphere mechanism is often favoured for reagents that
possess less sterically hindered C-H bonds through direct interaction with transition
metals
Figure 134 C-H bond cleavage mechanism
13
The essential feature of the outer sphere mechanism (Figure 135) is the formation of
a metal species with a high oxidation state comprising an activated ligand This is
followed by the cleavage of the C-H bond either by direct insertion or H-atom
abstractionradical rebound37 The feature that differentiates between outer-sphere
and inner-sphere mechanisms is that the substrate reacts directly with the activated
ligand (radical andor cationic species) instead of with the transition metal An
alternative terminology to lsquoinner spherersquo and lsquoouter spherersquo was introduced by
Crabtree44 who used lsquoorganometallicrsquo and lsquocoordinationrsquo respectively to describe the
mechanisms
Figure 135 Outer-sphere mechanism
The main challenge faced in developing a sustainable approach to C-H
functionalization is regioselectivity The criticality resides in the necessity to activate a
single C-H bond in molecules containing different carbon-hydrogen bonds Several
approaches have been used to address this problem including (i) the use of a
substrate containing directing groups such as nitrogen heterocycles amides oximes
ethers and imines45 (ii) the use of a substrate comprising weaker or activated C-H
bonds (benzylic or allylic systems)46 and (iii) the manipulation of the catalystligand to
control the selectivity47
1322 Palladium(II) complexes for C-H functionalization reactions
In the past few decades the palladium-catalysed C-H functionalization reaction has
become a vibrant and extremely active field of research4849 Traditionally palladium-
catalysed C-H functionalization proceeds via Pd0II catalytic cycles In contrast the
PdIIIV catalytic cycles are less investigated and the first example of this kind of
14
transformation was reported by Tremont and Rhaman50 in their work on methylation
of ortho C-H bonds in anilide (Figure 136) In this work a Pd(IV) intermediate was
proposed after reaction with methyl iodide (MeI) However a crystal of the Pd(IV)
intermediate was impossible to isolate from the reaction mixture
Figure 136 Methylation of ortho C-H bonds in anilide and proposed PdIV intermediate
Canty and co-workers51 reported the first crystal structure of a Pd(IV) intermediate to
prove the proposed oxidation of Pd(II) to Pd(IV) by MeI (Figure 137) A recent study
by Sanford describes the isolation of a Pd(IV) intermediate generated from the
acetoxylation of the complex which yielded a suitable crystal for X-ray studies52 This
evidence is crucial to support the PdIIPdIV redox chemistry
Figure 137 Structural evidence for PdIV intermediates
A number of examples of transformations based on PdII to PdIV catalytic cycles have
been described Sanford and co-workers reported the formation of a monophenylated
product (88) from the reaction of 2-phenyl-3-methyl pyridine with the iodine(III)
reagent [Ph2I]BF4 (Figure 138) This transformation employed a PdII to PdIV system
and can be considered as a practical and sustainable approach due to the inexpensive
ligand used as well as the absence of a strong base and the mild conditions
required53 The work of Daugulis and co-workers demonstrated another example of
15
arylation of a C-H bond using anilides as a substrate54 The reaction of substrates with
commercially available [Ph2I]PF6 yields a diphenylated product in a good yield
Figure 138 Arylation of C-H bond using PdII catalysts
More recent work by Sanford revealed a novel approach for oxidation and
halogenation of a non-activated C-H bond of benzo[h]quinoline via a PdIIPdIV catalytic
cycle (Figure 139) This substrate was chosen due to the presence of a nitrogen
directing group which allows the C-H functionalization to selectively occur at the C-10
position55 The catalytic reaction can be easily monitored by the integration of the 1H
NMR spectrum and affords the desired product with no by-products56 Furthermore
the reaction is a simple one-pot reaction which can be carried out without the exclusion
of air or water which is a significant advantage for applications in organic synthesis57
Figure 139 C-H Functionalization of benzo[h]quinoline
In a typical reaction benzo[h]quinoline is treated with PhI(OAc)2 (2 eq) and Pd(OAc)2
(2 mol) in acetonitrile to yield a mono-acetoxylated product By changing the solvent
to alcohols excellent yields of various alkyl-aryl ethers products [X = OMe OCH2CH3
OCH(CH3)2 and OCH2CF3] can be obtained Modification of the reaction conditions
16
using N-chloro- or N-bromosuccinimide (NCS or NBS) as oxidants instead of
PhI(OAc)2 leads to the formation of 10-chloro- or 10-bromo-benzo[h]quinoline57
A possible mechanism of reaction can be derived using the methoxylation of
benzo[h]quinoline (Figure 1310) as an example The proposed mechanism starts
with a C-H activation occurring specifically at C-10 to form a cyclopalladated
intermediate (PdII) followed by an oxidative addition step which leads to the formation
of a PdIV intermediate Finally reductive elimination allows for the release of the metal
and formation of a new C-OMe bond regenerating the PdII catalyst57
Figure 1310 Proposed mechanism of methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline
It should be noted that previous work in the Wilton-Ely group demonstrated the ability
of palladium bearing imidazol(in)ium-2-dithiocarboxylate units to be effective pre-
catalysts in the methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline using PhI(OAc)2 as an oxidant By
changing the oxidant to NCS 10-chlorobenzo[h]quinoline was formed in good yield

133 Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction
Transition metal catalysed cross-coupling reactions have long provided access to new
carbon-carbon bonds58 Various types of metal-catalysed carbon-carbon coupling
reactions have been reported such as those studied by Kumada-Corriu59 Negishi60
and Stille61 (Figure 1311) However the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction between an
organoboron compound (organoborane organoboronic acid organoboronate ester or
potassium trifluoroborate) and an aryl alkenyl or alkynyl halide catalysed by
palladium is one of the most widely used approaches for the formation of novel C-C
bonds Advantages of the reaction include mild reaction conditions low toxicity and
the stability offered by boron reagents compared to other coupling partners62
17
Figure 1311 General mechanism of metal catalysed cross-coupling reactions
Negishi and co-workers62 reported the first example of a Suzuki cross-coupling
reaction catalysed by palladium (Figure 1312) in 1978 The reaction of an alkynyl
borate with о-tolyl iodide catalysed by tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0)
produced the desired product in good yield (92)
Figure 1312 First example of a Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction
A year later Suzuki and co-workers reported a cross-coupling reaction between an
alkenyl boronate and an alkenyl bromide catalysed by Pd(PPh3)4 in the presence of a
base successfully generating the intended product (Figure 1313)63 Unlike other
organometallic reactions the presence of a base is essential for the Suzuki-Miyaura
reaction to proceed64
Figure 1313 Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction
The general mechanism of the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction involves three
essential steps oxidative addition transmetallation and reductive elimination (Figure
1314)65 Oxidative addition of the aryl halide (Ar1X) is achieved from reaction with the
Pd(0) species to form the Pd(II) halide complex (Ar1PdXLn) Then a transmetallation
step occurs to convert Ar1PdXLn to the diaryl complex [(Ln)Pd(Ar1)(Ar2)] in the
18
presence of a base which participates in a cis-trans equilibrium The successive
reductive elimination step yields the biaryl product and re-generates the catalyst66
Figure 1314 General mechanism for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction66
134 Immobilised transition metals on surfaces
There is enormous potential in combining the best properties of homogeneous and
heterogeneous catalysts into the same system However this remains a significant
challenge This goal can be achieved by immobilising the homogeneous catalyst onto
a solid support giving catalytic activity comparable to that of homogeneous catalysts
while offering the ease of separation of the catalyst from the products characteristic of
their heterogeneous counterparts67 Although a few studies in the early 1920s reported
the direct attachment of metals to various support materials68 a breakthrough came
with the early studies of Merrifield on the preparation of polymer-supported enzymes
for solid-phase peptide synthesis69 This finding was followed by the first example of
transition metal functionalised solid support (platinum complexes on sulfonated
polystyrene support)70
The immobilisation of transition metal complexes on solid supports can be
accomplished using appropriate organic linkers which covalently bond to the surface
19
of the solid support (Figure 1315) This method is expected to improve the interaction
between the heterogenised catalyst and reagent due to the pre-organisation of the
catalyst unit being towards the species in solution6771 Recent studies have moved
beyond polymeric supports to cheaper alternatives such as silica and zeolites
Figure 1315 Immobilisation of homogeneous catalysts on a solid support
This immobilisation approach offers ready separation of catalyst from the products
For example insoluble support (polymers silica and zeolites) can be separated by
filtration processes whereas liquid-liquid extraction can be used to recover soluble
support (polymers) In order to increase the effectiveness of the recovery process a
more reliable technique employing magnetic nanoparticles as supports has also been
explored This approach offers the possibility for a lab scale reaction to use a hand-
held magnet to separate the catalyst from the reaction mixture72 In the following
sections some background information will be provided on iron-oxide silica and iron-
oxide silica coated nanoparticles
1341 Iron oxide nanoparticles
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) can be derived from many different precursors such
as metals alloys iron oxides and ferrites by several well-established procedures such
as co-precipitation73 sol-gel techniques74 hydrothermal reactions75 and microwave
irradiation76 Among all the MNPs available iron oxide (Fe3O4) or magnetite
nanoparticles are considered the best option as supports in catalysis because of the
inexpensive starting materials and straightforward synthetic protocols77 The co-
precipitation method is known to be a simple and effective way to synthesis Fe3O4
NPs Monodispersed iron oxide nanoparticles are obtained by treatment of an
aqueous solution of Fe2+Fe3+ with a base in an inert environment at ambient or
elevated temperatures78 The quality of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles obtained is
reproducible after optimisation of several parameters such as temperature solvent
20
and Fe2+Fe3+ ratio78 The general equation for the formation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles is
presented in Equation 2
Equation 2 General mechanism of iron oxide nanoparticles
The unfunctionalised nanoparticles formed are prone to oxidation upon exposure to
air and quickly aggregate due to the small interparticle distance high surface area and
strong van der Waals forces This problem can be solved by applying an organic
coating such as long chain fatty acids or alkylamines to the surface of the
nanoparticles to promote passivation of iron oxide and form a highly uniform and
monodispersed product79 Another interesting approach is the use of an inorganic
material such as silica to stabilise and create a coating shell covering the magnetic
nanoparticles This technique offers several advantages over organic coating 1) it
avoids leaching problems of the Fe3O4 core during severe shaking or mixing reaction
conditions and 2) the presence of Si-OH moieties on the surface opens up the
possibility to functionalise the nanoparticles72
1342 Silica nanoparticles
The preparation of silica nanoparticle relies on the hydrolysis and condensation of the
silica source The best known and most widely-used procedure to prepare silica
nanoparticles was developed by Stoumlber and co-workers80 An ethanolic solution of
tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) is treated with water in the presence of a base
(ammonia solution) as a catalyst to form a white precipitate of silica nanoparticles81
The first step is the hydrolysis initiated by the attack of hydroxyl anions on TEOS
promoted by the ammonia (an ethoxy group of TEOS being substituted by a hydroxyl
group) The process is followed by a condensation reaction (alcohol or water
condensation) to form Si-O-Si bonds (Figure 1316)82
Figure 1316 General mechanism of silica nanoparticle preparation
21
1343 Iron oxides silica-coated nanoparticles (Fe3O4SiO2)
A few methods for synthesising Fe3O4SiO2 are available in the literature such as
sol-gel 83 and microemulsion approaches84 An early report by Ying and co-workers85
demonstrated the effectiveness of silica coated iron-oxide nanocomposites as
magnetic catalyst supports These findings were considered a turning point for the
development of various catalyst systems based on silica-coated iron oxide
nanoparticles The attachment of metal complex catalysts to the surface of
Fe3O4SiO2 can be achieved in two different ways (1) direct reaction of a metal
complex with Fe3O4SiO2 nanoparticles (2) coordination of the metal complex
precursor to Fe3O4SiO2 nanoparticles equipped with a chelating surface unit72
Figure 1317 shows the formation of Fe3O4SiO2 nanoparticles with a β-oxoiminato-
phosphanyl palladium complex attached to the surface through the direct reaction of
the metal complex with the magnetic nanoparticles (Figure 1317 A) This approach
is achieved through condensation of an Si(OEt)3 moiety in the complex with the Si-OH
binding site on the surface of the silica shells86 Alternatively Fe3O4SiO2 modified
with di(2-pyridyl) units were formed by the reaction of acetylene-terminated di(2-
pyridyl) and azide functionalised Fe3O4SiO2 This chelating ligand modified
Fe3O4SiO2 nanoparticle was then treated with [PdCl2(NCMe)2] to yield a magnetic
nanoparticle bearing palladium surface units (Figure 1317 B)
22
Figure 1317 Different approaches to functionalise Fe3O4SiO2 with palladium complexes
135 Catalysis by immobilised Pd(II) complexes
Over the years there have been several attempts to immobilise Pd(II) catalysts on a
range of different supports8788 This literature review will focus mainly on the
immobilisation of Pd(II) catalysts on magnetic nanoparticles due to the facile
separation properties displayed89
Gao and co-workers successfully employed silane groups to functionalize Pd-NHC
complexes onto the surface of maghemite (Fe2O3) nanoparticles (Figure 1318)90
This indirect approach is possible due to the high affinity of silane groups for the
uncoordinated surface of Fe2O3 nanoparticles91 This recoverable magnetic catalyst
was employed in Suzuki coupling reactions showing excellent catalytic activity for aryl
halide substrates Recycling experiments were conducted by separation of the
magnetic catalyst using an external magnet showing no loss in catalytic activity90
23
Figure 1318 Functionalization of Pd-NHC complexes on the surface of Fe2O3 nanoparticles
In another contribution Gao and co-workers introduced a novel iron oxide
nanostructure coated with a thin layer of polymer (lightly cross-linked polymers of
styrene and 14-vinylbenzene chloride) This combination of polymers prevents
aggregation of the iron oxide nanoparticles and provides good support for catalyst
functionalization The immobilisation of the catalyst was achieved by treating the
nanoparticles with 1-methylimidazole (Figure 1319) The functionalization approach
was successfully carried out by employing Na2CO3 to deprotonate the imidazolium
group to form an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) which can then form robust complexes
with Pd(OAc)292 This magnetic catalyst system was tested for activity in the Suzuki
cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides and aryl boronic acid giving a quantitative yield
of product92
Figure 1319 Functionalization of Pd-NHC complexes on the surface of polymer coated Fe2O3 nanoparticles
There are relatively few examples of immobilised palladium catalysts on the surface
of silica-coated nanoparticles (Figure 1320) Jin and co-workers reported a system
based on Fe3O4SiO2 with β-oxoiminato-phosphanyl-palladium surface units which
proved to be an active catalyst for Suzuki Sonogashira and Stille reactions86 This
magnetically recoverable Pd(II) catalyst demonstrated a high conversion to the desired
24
product (71 - 94) in Suzuki cross-coupling reactions with a diverse range of aryl
chloride and aryl boronic acid substrates The Sonogashira coupling of aryl chlorides
with alkynes and the Stille coupling of aryl chlorides with organostannanes employing
the same catalyst produced more than 70 conversion to products from different
types of substrates86
Gao et al explored a novel synthetic method to attach di(2-pyridyl)methanol-derived
palladium chloride to the surface of Fe3O4SiO2 which showed high catalytic activity
in Suzuki coupling of a variety of aryl bromoarene substrates93 The re-use of this
magnetic catalyst for the reaction of 4-bromoacetophenone with phenylboronic acid
showed only 5 loss in catalytic activity after five subsequent reactions Thiel and co-
workers designed a new system of Fe3O4SiO2 nanoparticles functionalised with
palladium(II) phosphine complexes which serve as excellent catalysts for the Suzuki-
Miyaura coupling of phenyl bromide and phenylboronic acid (99 conversion) using
Cs2CO3 and dioxane as base and solvent respectively94

14 Recovery and re-use of palladium
141 Palladium supply and demand
The platinum group metals (PGMs) are six noble and valuable transition metallic
elements in the d-block of the periodic table ruthenium (Ru) osmium (Os) rhodium
(Rh) iridium (Ir) palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt)95 The PGMs are classified as
ldquocritical raw materialsrdquo due to their rarity on earth in conjunction with their high
economic importance96 Palladium is considered to have a particularly high demand
due to its exclusive chemical and physical97 properties that lead to various industrial
applications (catalytic converters dentistry ceramic capacitors)
Palladium is known to have low abundance (only 0005 ppm per tonne of earth crust)98
and is mined only in certain places around the world dominated by sources in Russia
(43) South Africa (30) Canada (10) and the United States (6) which together
produce 90 of the global palladium supply99 Therefore geopolitics plays a factor in
the production of palladium100 potentially affecting the supply and price as it did in
2000 In this year the prices of palladium reached 1100 USDOz and even surpassed
the value of platinum briefly due to Russia delaying exports at the same time as the
substitution of platinum with palladium in three-way catalytic converters (TWCs)
became more widespread101 Its price remained fairly high in these few years nearly
always above 500 USDOz 4-5 times greater than the much more stable price in the
1990s of approximately 100 USDOz (Figure 141)

Moreover palladium has a significant market demand dominated by manufacturing
of TWCs in the automotive industry (approximately 82 of the total production)99 due
to the stringent emissions legislation implemented in the United States (US) that
required all vehicles produced after 1975 to be equipped with a catalytic converter
Incomplete combustion of gasoline and diesel in vehicles produces carbon monoxide
(CO) unburned hydrocarbons (HC) nitrogen oxides (NO) and particulate matter The
installation of the three-way catalytic converter (TWCs) in the vehicle exhaust pathway
transforms most of these harmful gases into less toxic substances (nitrogen carbon
dioxide and water)103
It was predicted that a number of vehicles on the roads worldwide would grow close
to 1300 million by 2030104 This scenario led to double the demand for palladium
between 2003 to 2013 (Figure 142) This increasing trend of palladium demand
reached the highest point around 2009 due to the boost in automobile production in
developing countries such as China and India105 The demand for palladium has
increased over the years but supply has been falling since 2007 and did not display
any sign of improvement106 Even taking recycling into account there has been a net
decrease in stocks in recent years Thus there are strong drivers and incentives both
environmentally and economically for obtaining palladium and its compounds from
alternative sources such as recycling and finding innovative ways of deploying them
Figure 142 Palladium supply and demand from 2000 to 2013106
27
142 Recovery methods from secondary sources of palladium
The recovery and recycling of used palladium from spent TWCs provide a growing
secondary source of PGMs to support the market demand107 The short lifespan (8-10
years) of catalytic converters due to fouling poisoning thermal degradation and
sintering could become a major environmental problem if they were to be disposed of
directly into landfills108 Generally catalytic converters contain honeycomb structured
ceramic monolith support a washcoat (Al2O3) with the addition of CeO2 and ZrO2 in
more recent designs109 to maximise surface area and highly dispersed quantities of
Pd Pt and Rh with exact compositions varying among producers Typical loading of
palladium is 05 - 30 by weight109 The low and well-dispersed metal loading along
with the complicated composition due to sintering phenomena occurring during the
lifespan of the complex ceramic matrix material present obvious difficulties in
recycling the precious metals from catalytic converters Thus the large amount of
palladium and other precious metals present in catalytic converters require a method
of recovery as they meet the end of their lifetime which will allow them to be recycled
into new and useful materials110
Three main ways of recovering metals from waste have been explored and developed
and these are known as a pyrometallurgical biometallurgical and hydrometallurgical
process111 each coming with its own advantages and disadvantages The most well-
established and widely used approach in industry is the pyrometallurgical one
developed and popularised by the company Johnson Matthey This technique requires
a high operating temperature (1500 - 1700 degC) to generate a molten metal crucible
used to treat milled catalytic converter material The process leads to the formation of
molten slag which is allowed to settle in order to collect PGMs The main limitation of
the pyrometallurgical process is its high energy demand and the lack of selectivity
towards palladium requiring further chemical separation to extract the different
PGMs112
An alternative is presented by the hydrometallurgical method due to its lower energy
demands and its environmental impact in respect to smelting This process requires
the metal to be dissolved in an aqueous solution containing a strong oxidising agent
and cyanide to leach the precious metals from the feedstocks under mild
conditions113 The hydrometallurgy technique offers easier control better selectivity
28
and predictability in the extraction of precious metals but the presence of harmful
reagents in the commercial process raises significant safety and environmental
concerns114
The biometallurgical method is another option to recover the precious metals by
employing a bacteria-assisted reaction115 (bioleaching process) or physio-chemical
and independent metabolism process to remove precious metal from a solution of
biological materials (biosorption process)116 This technique is environmentally
friendly However it has been reported only on a lab scale and has been limited to
only a few metals so far117
Recent literature from our collaborators at the University of Cagliari Italy reported the
possibility of extracting palladium selectively from mixtures containing rhodium and
platinum in well-milled TWC waste This approach employs a relatively sustainable
sulfur chelating organic ligand halogen adduct NN-dimethylperhydrodiazepine-23-
dithione diiodine to recover palladium from TWCs under mild aerobic conditions (80
degC) in a one-pot reaction to form a palladium(II) complex in 90 yield118 A further
energy-intensive process (chemical or electrochemical reduction) step is still required
to convert the complex into palladium powder form suitable for re-use making the
whole process less practical for palladium recycling Far better would be to use the
palladium complexes produced by this approach directly as a homogeneous catalyst
The patented process to recover palladium metals form TWCs is summarised in Figure

2 Stepwise construction of multimetallic assemblies and
nanoparticle surface functionalisation
21 Background and significance
In the last decades significant efforts have been made to explore the incorporation of
more than one transition metal unit within the same covalent network The ability to do
so offers the possibility of exploring multiple applications in many areas such as
catalysis1 sensing2 and imaging3 especially if the properties of different metals can
be exploited However the synthesis of multimetallic complexes consisting of two
different metals has proved to be a challenging task This difficulty can be overcome
by employing a protectiondeprotection system of the donor groups or by carefully
tailoring the donor groups of the organic linker to specific metal centres Another
attractive and straightforward method is to tailor bifunctional linkers to the transition
metals involved This approach has been used by us4 and others5 to generate
multimetallic complexes comprising different transition metals
Previous study in the group67 have mainly focused on sulfur and carboxylate ligands
based on the 11rsquo-dithio compounds which have proven to be suitable for the stepwise
construction of multimetallic assemblies and nanoparticle surface functionalization In
this chapter the focus is to employ a mixed donor ligand to generate multimetallic
complexes This ligand contains at least two different donor groups which possess an
affinity towards particular metals which is a more reliable strategy than
protectiondeprotection routes With this intention the reactivity of three different
simple and commercially available organic ligands comprising different donor groups
(oxygen nitrogen and sulfur) will be explored The chosen compounds are
dipicolylamine 22-bipyridine-44-dicarboxylic acid and 4-mercaptobenzoic acid
(Figure 211)
Figure 211 Ligands used to generate multimetallic complexes
38
Kabzinska and co-workers first synthesised the dipicolylamine ligand8 Most of the
work involving this ligand centred on the strong affinity of the three nitrogen donors to
bind zinc atoms allowing applications as chemosensors and imaging agents to be
explored9 In the present work dipicolylamine was converted to the corresponding
dithiocarbamate ligand which allows different reactivity to be displayed at sulfur and
nitrogen donors in the preparation of multimetallic assemblies
Commercially available dicarboxylic acid and bipyridine compounds have attracted
attention as a bridging ligand particularly in coordination polymers10 and metal-organic
frameworks (MOFs)11 due to the presence of nitrogen and carboxylate donors which
form stable coordination complexes with metals in a range of oxidation states Dye-
sensitized solar cell applications have used photosensitizers based on Ru(II)12 and
Ir(III) complexes13 and this has motivated recent interest in the 22-bipyridine-44-
dicarboxylic acid ligand as a bidentate N-donor ligand However the work described
here will exploit all three available donor units for the construction of
heteromultimetallic complexes based on rhenium and group 8 metals in a controllable
manner
The research was also extended to explore the use of thiols as donors in the
bifunctional linker 4-mercaptobenzoic acid The different reactivity of sulfur and oxygen
allows both thiolate and disulfide forms of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid to be used to
generate heteromultimetallic complexes based on gold and group 8 metals as well as
surface functionalization of gold and palladium nanoparticles
Some of the results in this chapter have been published in an Inorganic Chemistry
paper entitled lsquoBifunctional Chalcogen Linkers for the Stepwise Generation of
Multimetallic Assemblies and Functionalized Nanoparticlesrsquo14
211 Aims and objective
This chapter aims to employ a differently mixed donor ligand to synthesise a mono bi
tri and multimetallic complexes It was followed by surface functionalization of gold
and palladium nanoparticles using Ru complexes bearing disulfide linker

22 Monometallic complexes bearing dithiocarbamate ligands
Secondary amines have been extensively used to prepare dithiocarbamate (DTC)
ligands which exhibit excellent stability and offer fascinating electrochemical and
optical properties15 In this section the tridentate ligand dipicolylamine (a secondary
amine with two picolyl substituents) was used as a precursor to prepare a DTC ligand
which was later used to generate metallic assemblies
The yellow liquid dipicolylamine is commercially available and can easily be prepared
by reductive amination of 2-picolylamine and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde in good yield
and sufficient purity (1H NMR IR spectroscopic and MS analysis) so as not to require
any additional purification16 The diagnostic resonance of the methylene protons
(NCH2Py) appeared as a singlet at 393 ppm and other proton resonances were
observed in the aromatic region of the 1H NMR spectrum The infrared spectroscopic
analysis displayed absorptions assigned to the N-H stretch at 3296 cm-1 along with a
band at 1433 cm-1 attributed to the C-N stretch The overall structure of dipicolylamine
was confirmed by a molecular ion in the electrospray mass spectrum (+ve mode) at
mz 200
Figure 221 Dithiocarbamate salt generated from dipicolylamine
Dipicolylamine was converted to the dithiocarbamate salt KS2CN(CH2py)2 (1) in good
yield (84) by deprotonation of the secondary amine with potassium carbonate in the
presence of carbon disulfide (Figure 221) The presence of the CS2 unit was
confirmed by the typically downfield resonance at 216 ppm in the 13C1H NMR
spectrum The protons of the methylene arm (NCH2Py) gave rise to a resonance in
the 1H NMR spectrum at a different chemical shift (559 ppm) compared to the same
feature in the precursor (393 ppm) Four proton resonances belonging to pyridine
were observed at 704 (py-H5) 730 (py-H3) 753 (py-H6) and 845 (py-H4) ppm The
infrared spectrum displayed absorptions assigned to the νC-N absorption and two νC-S
40
bands These were observed at 1434 and 987 and 998 cm-1 respectively and were
taken to indicate formation of the dithiocarbamate moiety (along with the absence of
the N-H absorption) The mass spectrum (ES -ve) displayed a molecular ion for [M]-
at mz 274
Figure 222 Synthesis of monometallic complexes All charged complexes are hexafluorophosphate salts
41
To assess the coordination chemistry of the dithiocarbamate ligand 1 a range of
monometallic complexes was prepared taking advantage of the different electronic
properties of the metals chosen to obtain different molecular geometries around the
metal centre (Figure 222) A gold complex bearing the KS2CN(CH2py)2 ligand was
obtained by the reaction of [AuCl(PPh3)] with 1 to yield [Au(S2CN(CH2py)2)(PPh3)] (2)
The νC-S absorption band at 994 cm-1 suggested that the DTC was successfully
coordinated to the Au(I) centre The formation of a new complex was evident from a
new singlet resonance in the 31P1H NMR spectrum for the PPh3 ligand observed at
356 ppm shifted from the signal of the precursor (332 ppm) The 1H NMR spectrum
displayed the expected singlet resonance for the ethylene protons (NCH2Py) at 537
ppm alongside the triphenylphosphine and py-H3 resonances which appeared in the
aromatic region The resonances of the other protons of the picolyl moieties were
observed at 858 774 and 723 ppm and these were assigned to py-H4 py-H6 and py-
H5 respectively The overall structure of 2 was also confirmed by a molecular ion in
the electron spray mass spectrum (+ve mode) at mz 734 and good agreement of
elemental analysis with calculated values (closer than plusmn 05 to the calculated value)
Ligand 1 was treated with cis-[PtCl2(PPh3)2] in the presence of excess NH4PF6 in
methanol and dichloromethane to yield [PtS2CN(CH2py)2(PPh3)2]PF6 (3) after 16
hours The 31P1H NMR spectrum showed a new singlet resonance at 148 ppm (JPPt
= 3290 Hz) The chemical shift in the 1H NMR displayed the expected resonances for
the H-py protons at 862 (py-H4) 773 (py-H6) and 715 (py-H5) ppm while py-H3
resonances were obscured in the aromatic region by the signals due to the phenyl
groups The ethylene protons (NCH2Py) appeared as a singlet at 495 ppm Further
proof of the formation of the complex was provided by a molecular ion observed in the
electrospray (+ve mode) mass spectrum at mz 994
The reaction of 1 with cis-[RuCl2(dppm)2] (dppm = 11-
bis(diphenylphosphino)methane) provided an example of an octahedral geometry in
the cationic species [RuS2CN(CH2py)2(dppm)2]PF6 (4) Initially the reaction was
conducted at room temperature however an analysis of the 13P1H NMR revealed
an incomplete reaction probably due to the steric bulk of the picolyl groups The
reaction mixture was therefore heated at reflux for 4 hours to yield the product as a
dark yellow precipitate 4 in excellent yield (94) The retention of νC-N and νC-S features
in the infrared spectrum was observed with absorption bands at 1483 and 999 cm-1
42
respectively As expected broad multiplet resonances due to the methylene protons
(PCH2P) of the dppm were observed at 448 and 491 ppm in the 1H NMR spectrum
while all the picolyl protons signals were obscured in the aromatic region except for
py-H4 which was detected further downfield (861 ppm) The ethylene protons
(NCH2Py) were observed to resonate as two doublets at 468 and 521 ppm The
retention of the dppm ligands was further confirmed by the presence of two new
pseudotriplets at 51 and -188 ppm showing a coupling of 344 Hz in the 31P1H NMR
spectrum The overall structure of 4 was confirmed by a molecular ion in the
electrospray mass spectrum (+ve mode) at mz 1144 for [M]+ and good agreement of
elemental analysis with the calculated values
Two neutral Ru(II) complexes bearing this DTC ligand were prepared by treating the
precursor [Ru(R)Cl(CO)(BTD)(PPh3)2] (R = CH=CHC6H4Me-4 or CH=CHPyr-1 BTD =
213-benzothiadiazole) with 1 at room temperature to yield [Ru(CH=CHC6H4Me-
4)(S2CN(CH2py)2)(CO)(PPh3)2] (5) and [Ru(CH=CHPyr-
1)S2CN(CH2py)2(CO)(PPh3)2] (6) The successful formation of the new products was
evidenced by the retention of the carbonyl group signal at approximately 1900 cm-1 in
the IR spectrum A new singlet resonance was observed at 386 and 380 ppm for 5
and 6 respectively in the 31P1H NMR spectrum suggesting that the mutually trans
arrangement of the phosphines was retained and confirming the plane of symmetry of
the complex In the 1H NMR spectrum characteristic resonances for the Hα and Hβ
protons of the vinyl ligands were observed at new chemical shifts of 769 and 542
ppm (JHH =166 Hz JHP = 34 Hz) and 834 (JHH = 170 Hz JHP = 32 Hz) and 679 ppm
for 5 and 6 respectively The ethylene arms (NCH2Py) of the DTC unit gave rise to a
pair of singlets (5 446 467 ppm 6 454 469 ppm) for both complexes Mass
spectrometry analysis of the complexes revealed molecular ions at mz 1046 (5) and
mz 1131 (6) confirming the overall formulation of the products in conjunction with
good agreement of elemental analysis with the calculated values
A single crystal of 5 was grown by the solvent layering technique with the slow
diffusion of diethyl ether into a concentrated dichloromethane solution of the complex
yielding crystals A colourless needle was chosen for the structural determination
(Figure 223) The structural features of the complex are comparable to those of
related molecules reported in the literature17 such as [Ru(CH=CHC6H4Me-
4)S2CN(CH2CH2OMe)2(CO)(PPh3)2] A distorted octahedral geometry is observed in
43
the crystal structure of 5 with cis-interligand angles in the range 6983(3) to 9739(3)˚
Furthermore the angle of P(1)-Ru-P(2) is forced to deviate from linearity to 16869(3)˚
due to the bulkiness of the picolyl group Another noteworthy feature is that the Ru-S
distances of 24740(8) and 25025(8) Aring are longer than those reported in the literature
complex above reflecting the substantial trans effect of carbonyl and alkenyl ligands
The S(1)-C(2)-S(3) angle of 11319 (18)˚ in 5 is very similar to the 11347(10)˚ angle
found in [Ru(CH=CHC6H4Me-4)S2CN(CH2CH2OMe)2(CO)(PPh3)2]17 The relatively
short C(2)-N(4) (1333(8) Aring) distance in 5 suggests multiple bond character which
confirms the substantial delocalisation provided by the contribution of the thioureide
resonance form in the DTC ligand

The reaction of an excess of 1 in methanol with the five-coordinate ruthenium enynyl
species [RuC(CequivCPh)=CHPhCl(CO)(PPh3)2] in dichloromethane resulted in the
44
formation of the yellow solid [RuC(CequivCPh)=CHPhS2C-N(CH2py)2(CO)(PPh3)2] (7)
in 77 yield after 2 hours at reflux The presence of the enynyl ligand was confirmed
by the absorption at 2145 cm-1 (νCequivC) in the infrared spectrum while the carbonyl group
gave rise to a band at 1915 cm-1 A singlet resonance for the vinylic proton was
observed in the 1H NMR spectrum at 610 ppm and assigned to the Hβ proton while
the resonances due to the methylene protons (NCH2Py) were observed as two singlets
at 461 and 441 ppm Only py-H4 was observed to resonate at 844 ppm whereas the
other picolyl protons resonances were obscured in the aromatic region by resonances
due to the phenyl groups of the various ligands 31P1H NMR spectroscopy revealed
a singlet resonance which was taken as evidence of the retention of the phosphine
ligands at 361 ppm Elemental analysis and mass spectrometry (ES +ve mode) data
confirmed the overall formation of 7
The focus of the investigation then turned to homoleptic compounds with the
generation of the complex [Ni(S2C-N(CH2py)2)] (8) by reaction of 1 with NiCl2middot6H2O in
methanol for 3 hours at room temperature No significant change compared to the
precursor was registered in the infrared spectrum 1H NMR analysis revealed signals
for the ethylene arms (NCH2Py) shifted from 557 ppm to 502 ppm Unremarkable
shifts were recorded for the four proton resonances of the picolyl substituents py-H5
(725 ppm) py-H3 (738 ppm) py-H6 (772 ppm) and py-H4 (858 ppm) Mass
spectrometry analysis (electrospray +ve mode) revealed an abundant molecular ion
at mz 607 for [M+H]+ confirming the formation of 8
Subsequently the focus of the research moved to the generation of multimetallic
complexes by employing compound 4 as a starting point due to the availability of
pendant nitrogen donors that would theoretically coordinate strongly with a transition
metal while the inertness of the dppm ligand would ensure the stability of the remaining
coordination sphere Unfortunately the reaction of 4 with [ReCl(CO)5] [W(CO)4(pip)2]
(pip = piperidine) or [Mo(CO)6] did not show clear evidence of formation of a complex
of interest even under forcing conditions (reflux) This finding might suggest that the
nitrogen coordination lsquopocketrsquo is too small to accommodate the bulk of rhenium
molybdenum or tungsten units
In conclusion the dithiocarbamate ligand 1 was successfully employed to synthesise
a range of monometallic complexes displaying linear square planar and octahedral
45
geometries Further modification to install a different metal unit (Re Mo and W) in the
most stable complex 4 proved unsuccessful
23 Heteromultimetallic complexes bearing a polyfunctional dicarboxylate
ligand
The second part of this chapter is based on the application of commercially-available
and simple ligands possessing both oxygen and nitrogen donor groups for the
generation of multimetallic systems This will be achieved by exploiting the different
donor properties of the terminal functionalities towards specific metal centres In this
work the different reactivities of oxygen and nitrogen in 22rsquo-bipyridine-44rsquo-
dicarboxylic acid (H2dcbpy) were explored with ruthenium and rhenium precursors
Dicarboxylic acids are commonly used in the construction of multimetallic assemblies
and are well established ligands in coordination polymers10 and metal-organic
frameworks (MOFs)1819 A summary of the synthesised complexes is provided in
Figure 231
The ruthenium vinyl [Ru(CH=CHC6H4Me-4)Cl(CO)(PPh3)2] and enynyl
[RuC(CequivCPh)=CHPhCl(CO)(PPh3)2] complexes were chosen as a starting point for
the generation of multimetallic assemblies due to their diagnostic spectroscopic
features Our previous studies142021 have demonstrated the formation of
corresponding octahedral carboxylate complexes when the complexes are
coordinated to the deprotonated carboxylic acid However both of the ruthenium
precursors above also react with bipyridine to yield the cationic complexes
[Ru(CH=CHC6H4Me-4)(CO)(bpy)(PPh3)2]+ and
[RuC(CequivCPh)=CHPh(CO)(bpy)(PPh3)2]22 For this reason it is not immediately clear
whether the H2dcbpy ligand would react with ruthenium precursors at the nitrogen or
at the oxygen donors or both
46
Figure 231 Synthetic routes to compounds 9 to 16
It is known20 that the presence of a base in the reaction mixture will prevent the acid-
driven cleavage of the vinyl group The neutral bimetallic ruthenium complex
[RuCH=CHC6H4Me-4)(CO)(PPh3)22(micro-dcbpy)] (9) was isolated as a brown powder
through the reaction of H2dcbpy with two equivalents of [Ru(CH=CHC6H4Me-
4)Cl(CO)(BTD)(PPh3)2] (BTD = 213-benzothiadiazole) in the presence of excess
base By employing a similar synthetic procedure H2dcbpy was treated with two
equivalents of the more sterically-hindered [RuC(CequivCPh)=CHPhCl(CO)(PPh3)2] to
yield after purification the bimetallic complex
[Ru(C(CequivCPh)=CHPh)(CO)(PPh3)22(micro-dcbpy)] (10) as a dark red compound
Standard analytical methods were employed to support the successful synthetic
procedure through comprehensive characterisation The 31P1H NMR spectrum for
47
both complexes 9 and 10 revealed a new singlet resonance at 382 ppm suggesting
the retention of the trans symmetrical disposition of the phosphine ligands of the
precursors Typical features attributed to the vinyl ligands in 9 were identified in the 1H
NMR spectrum with the methyl protons appearing at 223 ppm the aromatic protons
of the tolyl substituent (AArsquoBBrsquo system) at 635 and 682 ppm (JHH = 78 Hz) and the
vinyl protons Hβ and Hα were observed at 589 ppm and 782 ppm respectively (JHH
= 152 Hz) The coordination of the dcbpy ligand to the metal centre was confirmed by
new chemical shifts for the six bipyridyl protons which exhibit a resonance at 692
(dd) 766 (m) and 846 (d) ppm The doublet resonance attributed to the two bipyridyl
protons remained further downfield (846 ppm)23 indicating that the bpy unit remains
uncoordinated to the ruthenium centre
In addition the 1H NMR of complex 10 showed six pyridinyl protons resonating at
similar chemical shifts to those of 9 while the aromatic protons of the enynyl ligand
were superimposed on the signals from the phosphine ligands The most compelling
feature of the spectra was the peak for the vinyl proton (Hβ) at 579 ppm which
required a low-temperature experiment to be observed clearly due to extensive
broadening Moreover both complexes showed characteristic absorbances for
coordinated carbonyl moieties (9 1928 cm-1 10 1929 cm-1 ) and coordinated
carboxylates (9 1573 cm-1 10 1522 cm-1) in the infrared spectra Additionally the
presence of the triple bond CequivC in complex 10 was established by the absorbance at
2163 cm-1 The elemental and mass spectra data further confirmed the overall
formulation
To better explore the coordinative possibilities of the [dcbpy]2- ligand a different and
more robust starting material cis-[RuCl2(dppm)2] was employed The chloride ligands
are easily removed to generate a pair of reactive sites available to coordinate [dcbpy]2-
without affecting the remaining coordination sphere due to the inertness of the dppm
ligand24 With this in mind a dichloromethane solution of cis-[RuCl2(dppm)2] was
added to the methanolic solution of H2dcbpy and sodium methoxide in the presence
of different counterion sources potassium hexafluorophosphate and sodium
tetraphenylborate to yield [Ru(dppm)22(micro-dcbpy)](PF6)2 (11) and [Ru(dppm)22(micro-
dcbpy)](BPh4)2 (12) respectively
48
The spectroscopic data for both complexes show minor incongruences which can be
attributed to the small differences in electronic perturbance between [PF6]macr and
[BPh4]macr In the 31P1H NMR spectrum a dramatic shift of phosphorus nuclei
resonance was observed for 11 ( -119 and 87 ppm JPP = 388 Hz) and 12 (-116 and
88 ppm JPP = 392 Hz) compared to the precursors (-270 and -09 ppm JPP = 361
Hz) This difference is caused by the substantial change in coordination and charge
around the metal centre with the substitution of the two negatively charged chloride
ligands for the single negatively charged carboxylate chelate
Moreover the 1H NMR spectrum of compound 11 revealed a diagnostic resonance for
the PCH2P methylene bridges of the dppm ligands at 416 and 476 ppm slightly
different to those of compound 12 (393 and 456 ppm) Also singlet (11 855 ppm
12 851 ppm) and doublet (11 891 ppm 12 880 ppm) splitting patterns further
downfield could be discerned for the protons of the dcbpy ligand The presence of
coordinated carboxylate moiety in both complexes was confirmed by the diagnostic
absorption peaks in the infrared spectra (11 1521 cm-1 12 1509 cm-1) The mass
spectrometry and elemental analysis confirmed the overall formulation of both
complexes
Several attempts to crystalise compounds 9-11 to provide crystals suitable for X-ray
analysis proved unsuccessful Variation of the counterion in 12 from PF6macr to the bulkier
BPh4macr led to the successful generation of single crystals suitable for analysis (Figure
232) Yellow needles of 12 were obtained by slow diffusion of diethyl ether into a
dichloromethane solution of the compound The structural features of the crystal are
in agreement with those of similar molecules reported in the literature such as
[Ru(O2CMe)(dppm)22](BPh4)225 The geometry of the complex is influenced both by
the constraints of the three bidentate ligands which coordinate to the ruthenium centre
creating four-membered rings and by the high steric demand of dppm ligand
especially the phenyl moieties These effects can be seen in the distorted octahedral
geometry of 12 where the angle O(3)-Ru(1)-O(1) of the carboxylate moiety is
5979(15)˚ The intraligand angles due to dppm coordination P(13)-Ru(1)-P(11) and
P(43)-Ru(1)-P(41) are 7170(6)˚ and 7245(6)˚ respectively whereas the cis-
interligand angles O(1)-Ru(1)-P(11) and O(1)-Ru(1)-P(13) were found to be 9023(11)˚
and 10841(1)˚ which again deviate from the 90˚ of a regular octahedron Another
49
noticeable feature is that the axial Ru-P bonds are longer [23361(16)˚ and 23570(16)˚
Aring] than those trans to the oxygen donors [22640(16)˚ and 22916(17)˚ Aring] probably
due to a weak trans effect The influence of the steric hindrance of the dppm ligand
was also observed in the difference in bond length between the two oxygen atoms and
the ruthenium centre Ru(1)-O(3) is 2161(4)˚ Aring and Ru(1)-O(1) is 2232(4)˚ Aring The rest
of the bond distances are unremarkable
Figure 232 Structure of cation [Ru(dppm)22(micro-dcbpy)](BPh4)2 (12) The tetraphenylborate anion and H-atoms has been omitted to aid clarity
The discovery of rhenium pentacarbonyl halides by the action of carbon monoxide on
the corresponding hexahalogenorhenates26 was first reported by Schulten in the late
1930s Since then this class of compound has been used as a synthon for various
substitution reactions especially with diamine donors In this contribution the known
[ReCl(CO)3(micro-H2dcbpy)] complex was treated with compounds 9 - 11 to generate
heteromultimetallic complexes by coordinating the rhenium centre with the nitrogen
donors of the dcbpy ligands Regardless of the extreme conditions (reflux in toluene)
50
employed no trimetallic compound could be obtained The crystal structure of 12
reveals that the nitrogen atoms of the dcbpy ligand preferentially take up positions with
the nitrogen atoms orientated in opposite directions requiring a rotation around the
C6-C6(A) bond to allow the bidentate coordination of the rhenium(I) centre possibly
explaining the difficulties in the synthesis
A different strategy was therefore devised to obtain the trimetallic compounds This
new approach required the synthesis of the known orange complex [ReCl(CO)3(micro-
H2dcbpy)] (13)27 as a starting point for further transformation A methanolic solution of
13 and sodium methoxide was treated with two equivalents of either
[Ru(CH=CHC6H4Mendash4)Cl(CO)(BTD)(PPh3)2] or [RuC(CequivCPh)=CHPhCl
(CO)(PPh3)2] to give respectively [Ru(CH=CHC6H4Mendash4)(CO)(PPh3)22(micro-
[ReCl(dcbpy)(CO)3])] (14) and [RuC(CequivCPh)=CHPh(CO)(PPh3)22(micro-
[ReCl(dcbpy)(CO)3])] (15) Proton-decoupled phosphorus-31 NMR spectra of both
complexes did not show significant differences compared to the bimetallic
counterparts (9 and 10) validating the synthetic procedure However the 1H NMR
spectrum of 14 showed a slight shift in the bpy protons (701 726 868 ppm)
compared to 9 (692 766 and 846) Also the 1H NMR spectrum of 15 indicated a
slight change of chemical shift for the resonance assigned to the bpy protons (689
and 866 ppm) compared to 10 (692 and 846 ppm) The infrared data revealed the
presence of the characteristic absorptions for the tricarbonyl-rhenium moiety at 2019
and 1890 cm-1 while the (CO) peaks for the carbonyl ligands coordinated to the
ruthenium centres shifted to 1918 (14) and 1919 (15) cm-1 Mass spectra and
elemental analysis confirmed the hypothesised composition
The series of trimetallic complexes was completed by reaction of 13 with two
equivalents of cis-[RuCl2(dppm)2] to yield [Ru(dppm)22(micro-ReCl(dcbpy)(CO)3)]
(PF6)2 (16) The 31P1H NMR analysis showed no significant shift with respect to the
corresponding bimetallic compound 11 However in the 1H NMR spectrum the
doublet of bipyridyl protons resonating further downfield at 918 ppm (11 891 ppm)
provided further proof for the coordination of the chlorotricarbonyl-rhenium unit The
IR spectrum further confirmed the presence of carbonyl ligands coordinated to the
rhenium centre (peaks around 2020 cm-1)
51
In conclusion this work illustrates the use of polyfunctional linkers comprising nitrogen
and carboxylic acid donors for the generation of a series of bi- and trimetallic
complexes of Re(I) and Ru(II) in a controlled stepwise manner
24 Multimetallic complexes based on polyfunctional ligands (sulfur and
nitrogen)
The last part of this chapter will discuss the stepwise generation of multimetallic
assemblies by taking advantage of the different reactivity of sulfur and nitrogen donors
of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid in both thiolate and disulfide forms to generate novel
ruthenium and gold complexes Well-known ruthenium vinyl and enynyl complexes will
be employed as starting points for the generation of multimetallic networks possessing
ligands with diagnostic spectroscopic properties (1H 13C 31P NMR and IR
spectroscopy) to aid structure determination However under certain conditions (eg
the presence of acid) the vinyl species are sensitive to cleavage and there are also
potential stability and purification issues related to phosphine lability in the presence
of bulky co-ligands These concerns led to the use of a more robust ruthenium starting
material cis-[RuCl2(dppm)2] which also offers suitable spectroscopic (NMR
spectroscopy) features due to the presence of phosphorus nuclei and characteristic
methylene bridges of the dppm ligands
241 Synthesis of bi-and trimetallic complexes
A methanolic solution of iodine was added dropwise to 4-mercaptobenzoic acid in
methanol to yield the white disulfide product (SC6H4CO2H-4)2 (17) The aryl
resonances in the 1H NMR spectrum were observed at new chemical shift values (752
and 781 ppm JHH = 80) and the absence of a thiol resonance at 209 ppm confirmed
the completion of the reaction The other spectroscopic data were found to be in good
agreement with the data reported in the literature2829 The versatile ruthenium starting
material cis-[RuCl2(dppm)2]30 was employed as a starting point to generate a
multimetallic complex due to the inertness of the dppm ligand contributing to the
stability of the coordination sphere upon displacement of the chloride ligands These
complexes were found to react with the deprotonated dicarboxylic acid units (sodium
52
methoxide) in the presence of a counterion to yield a new complex
[Ru(dppm)2(O2CC6H4S-4)2](PF6)2 (18) (Figure 241)
Figure 241 Synthesis of bi-and trimetallic complexes All charged complexes are hexafluorophosphate salts PPN = bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium
A high yield (86) of the pale yellow product (18) was achieved and the infrared
spectra displayed the characteristic features for the carboxylate and
hexafluorophosphate anion at 1590 and 834 cm-1 respectively The multiplet
resonances for the methylene protons (PCH2P) at 395 and 463 ppm in the 1H NMR
spectrum confirmed the presence of the dppm ligands whereas the C6H4 protons were
obscured by the aromatic resonances of the phenyl groups of the dppm ligands The
retention of the dppm ligands was further confirmed by the presence of two new
pseudotriplets at -120 and 89 ppm showing a coupling of 390 Hz in the 31P1H NMR
spectrum Three triplet resonances downfield at 1349 1419 and 1817 ppm were
assigned to CCO2 CS and CO2 nuclei in the 13C1H NMR spectrum Also the carbon
nuclei of the methylene bridge in the dppm ligands were observed to resonate at 436
ppm with JPC = 115 Hz The overall structure of 18 was also confirmed by a molecular
ion in the electrospray mass spectrum (+ve mode) at mz 2044 and good agreement
of elemental analysis with the calculated values
53
The generation of a yellow trimetallic complex [AuSC6H4CO2Ru(dppm)22]PF6 (19)
in 71 yield was accomplished by treatment of two equivalents of cis-[RuCl2(dppm)2]
with one equivalent of the homoleptic gold(I) dithiolate species [Au(SC6H4CO2H-
4)2]PPN (PPN = bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium)3132 in the presence of sodium
methoxide and NH4PF6 The chemical shifts in the 1H NMR spectrum displayed the
expected multiplet resonances for the PCH2P protons at 388 and 505 ppm which
are slightly shifted compared to those in compound 18 Formation of a new complex
was evident from two new pseudotriplet resonances for the dppm ligands observed at
-79 and 140 ppm in the 31P1H NMR spectrum showing mutual JPP coupling of 390
Hz The integration of this spectrum suggested a dppm to PF6minus ratio of phosphorus
nuclei of 81 indicating a single counteranion for the complex The mass spectrum
(ES +ve) did not display a molecular ion but instead exhibited a peak for [MndashAu]+ at
mz 2044 However the formulation of 19 was further confirmed by elemental analysis
which revealed a good agreement between experimental and calculated values
242 Synthesis of bi- and trimetallic vinyl complexes
Since the disulfide ligand (17) was observed to coordinate smoothly to the cis-
[RuCl2(dppm)2] unit the focus of the research was then shifted to prepare multimetallic
complexes bearing both alkenyl and enynyl ligands (Figure 242) The most
appropriate triphenylphosphine vinyl species chosen to use as starting materials are
the compounds [RuC(CequivCPh)=CHPhCl(CO)(PPh3)2]33 and [Ru(CH=CHC6H4Mendash
4)Cl(CO)(BTD)(PPh3)2]34 The insertion of 14-diphenylbutadiene and 4-
ethynyltoluene into [RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3]35 proved to be a suitable route to for the
generation of [RuC(CequivCPh)=CHPhCl(CO)(PPh3)2] and [Ru(CH=CHC6H4Mendash
4)Cl(CO)(BTD)(PPh3)2] respectively In the latter case BTD (213-benzothiadiazole)
was added to prevent unwanted reaction with the third equivalent of PPh3 lost in the
synthesis Furthermore the characteristic spectroscopic properties (1H 13C 31P1H
NMR and IR spectroscopy) of these vinyl and enynyl species are important in deducing
the structure of the multimetallic assemblies formed
54
Figure 242 Synthesis of Bi- and Trimetallic vinyl complexes
In the presence of a base 4-mercaptobenzoic acid was treated with [AuCl(PPh3)] to
generate the thiolate compound [Au(SC6H4CO2H-4)(PPh3)] which displayed
comparable spectroscopic data to those reported in the literature3132 This gold thiolate
complex was then treated with [Ru(CH=CHC6H4Mendash4)Cl(CO)(BTD)(PPh3)2] in
dichloromethane to yield [(Ph3P)Au(SC6H4CO2-4)Ru(CH=CHC6H4Me-4)(CO)(PPh3)2]
(20) as a yellow solid The presence of two new singlets at 375 (RuPPh3) and 387
(AuPPh3) ppm was observed in the 31P1H NMR spectrum Furthermore 1H NMR
analysis demonstrated characteristic resonances for the vinyl ligands at 785 and 583
for Hα and Hβ protons (mutual JHH coupling of 154 Hz) respectively The Hα protons
resonated at lower field with a doublet of triplets splitting pattern showing coupling to
the phosphorus nuclei of the phosphine ligand (JHP = 26 Hz) suggesting a mutually
trans arrangement for the phosphines and confirming a plane of symmetry in the
complex The tolyl substituent displayed an AB spin system at 639 and 683 ppm with
JAB = 80 Hz while the methylene group was found to resonate further upfield at 223
ppm Another AArsquoBBrsquo spin system at 685 and 720 ppm (JAB = 83 Hz) was assigned
to the protons in the 4-mercaptobenzoic ligand (SC6H4)
Evidence from the 13C1H NMR spectrum provided further proof of the formation of a
heterometallic complex (20) showing two triplet resonances at 2071 and 1535 ppm
55
which were assigned to CO and Cα nuclei respectively Two singlets were observed
to resonate at 1782 and 1476 ppm and these were attributed to the CO2 and CS
units respectively The methylene carbon nucleus was recorded as resonating further
upfield at approximately 209 ppm The retention of the carbonyl group was confirmed
by the infrared spectrum through the intense absorption at 1908 cm-1 along with a
band at 1586 cm-1 attributed to the coordinated carboxylate group Although no
molecular ion was observed in the electrospray (+ve mode) mass spectrum an
abundant fragmentation was noted at mz 1481 for the molecular ion plus sodium and
potassium ions From these data and in conjunction with a good agreement of
elemental analysis with calculated values the overall formulation of the bimetallic
complex (20) was confirmed
Similarly the reaction of equal amounts of [Au(SC6H4CO2H-4)(PPh3)] and the five-
coordinate enynyl starting material [RuC(CequivCPh)=CHPhCl(CO)(PPh3)2] in
dichloromethane resulted in the formation of a yellow solid in 68 yield The presence
of the enynyl ligand was confirmed by the infrared spectrum absorption at 2163 cm-1
(CequivC) while the carboxylate linkage gave rise to a band at 1588 cm-1 (CO) An
expected broad singlet resonance observed at 608 ppm was assigned to the Hβ
proton while the resonances of all phenyl groups were noted in the aromatic region of
the 1H NMR spectrum Two singlet resonances for AuPPh3 and RuPPh3 were
observed in the 31P1H NMR spectrum at 371 and 375 ppm respectively Further
analyses by 13C1H NMR spectroscopy revealed diagnostic resonances for CO (2074
ppm) CO2 (1780 ppm) CS (1476 ppm) and Cα (1404 ppm) nuclei comparable to
the same features found for complex 20 Further analysis by electrospray (+ve mode)
mass spectrometry showed an abundant molecular ion at mz 1469 [M]+ Calculated
and experimental elemental analysis results were found to be in good agreement
confirming the overall composition of the complex to be [(Ph3P)Au(SC6H4CO2-
4)RuC(CequivCPh)=CHPh(CO)(PPh3)2] (21)
A supramolecular trimetallic assembly incorporating Re Ru and Au was prepared by
reaction of a slight excess of sodium methoxide with equimolar amounts of
[Au(SC6H4CO2H-4)(PPh3)] and [RuCH=CH-bpyReCl(CO)3Cl(CO)(BTD)(PPh3)2]36 to
produce [(Ph3P)Au(SC6H4CO2-4)RuCH=CHbpyReCl(CO)3(CO)(PPh3)2] (22) as an
intense orange solid Two closely spaced singlet resonances were observed in the
31P1H NMR spectrum at 379 and 380 ppm and were assigned to RuPPh3 and
56
AuPPh3 respectively The 1H NMR spectrum displayed typical resonances for the Hα
(892 ppm) and Hβ (578 ppm) protons showing a mutual JHH coupling of 156 Hz The
splitting pattern observed for Hα also displayed coupling to the phosphorus nuclei of
the phosphine ligand (JHP = 26 Hz) confirming a trans arrangement of the phosphines
in the complex Two AB systems at 692 and 721 ppm with a coupling of JAB = 85
Hz were assigned to the SC6H4 protons The presence of broad carbonyl absorption
bands at 2016 1909 and 1885 cm-1 in the infrared spectrum was ascribed to the
retention of the ReCl(CO)3 unit in the complex Although no molecular ion was
observed in the mass spectrum an abundant fragmentation was noted at mz 1793
for [M+H+K]+ The overall formulation of the product as [(Ph3P)Au(SC6H4CO2-
4)RuCH=CHbpyReCl(CO)3(CO)(PPh3)2] was confirmed by the good agreement of
elemental analysis with calculated values
Suitable orange block crystals of complex 22 were successfully grown by slow
diffusion of diethyl ether into a dichloromethane solution of the complex (Figure 243)
Discussion of the structure of the ReRuAu trimetallic complex will be divided into three
parts based on the individual metals using literature structures for comparison
Firstly the geometry of the rhenium centre is a distorted octahedron with cis-
interligand angles in the ranges of 7463(18) ndash 930(5)deg which are comparable to the
values for the precursor [ReCl(CO)3(bpyCequivCH)] reported in the literature [7473(11) ndash
8764(18)deg]37
Figure 243 Crystal structure of [(Ph3P)Au(SC6H4CO24)RuCH=CHbpyReCl(CO)3(CO)(PPh3)2] (22) The H-atoms has been omitted to aid clarity
57
Secondly taking [Au(SC6H4CO2H-4)(PPh3)]38 complexes as a comparison it was
observed that the Au-S distance in 22 [23027(16) Aring] was comparable to the reported
literature value [2313 (1) Aring] for the precursor In addition the Au-P distance in 22 is
slightly shorter [2255(2) Aring] than the monometallic complex [2276(1) Aring] Moreover
the coordination geometry of the gold atom in compound 22 deviates from linearity [P-
Au-S 17639(6)deg] slightly less than in the literature structure [P-Au-S 16895(4)deg] This
finding might be related to the occurrence of short aurophilic contacts (AumiddotmiddotmiddotAu
30756(2) Aring) in the literature structure in conjunction with packing effects that lead to
distortion of this angle14 As expected the ruthenium centre adopts a distorted
octahedral geometry with cis interligand angles in the range 592(2)minus1078(2)deg which
are comparable to the bite angle of the carboxylate chelate in the literature structure
of [RuC(CequivCPh)=CHPh(O2CC5H4N)(CO)(PPh3)2]21 There is a slight difference in the
rutheniumminusoxygen bond distances which reveal a longer Ru(1)minusO(3) bond trans to
the vinyl ligand [2233(4) Aring] compared to the Ru(1)minusO(1) bond trans to the carbonyl
[2191(4) Aring] due to a stronger trans effect
243 Synthesis of gold nanoparticles and surface functionalisation
Although Faraday39 first described colloidal gold in the 1850s the practical use of well-
defined gold nanoparticles only became a reality with the breakthroughs of Turkevich18
in the 1950s (reliable synthesis of well-defined gold nanoparticles) and the work by
Brust and Schiffrin40 (thiol-protected gold nanoparticles of well-defined size) in the
1990s Larger nanoparticles (diameter 15-100 nm) are accessible using the Turkevich
method which employs sodium citrate as a reducing agent and a temporary capping
agent before displacement by sulfur units However the turning point for the evolution
of gold nanoparticle chemistry was achieved by the establishment of Brust and
Schiffrinrsquos synthetic approach This method involves the transfer of HAuCl4 from an
aqueous solution to an organic solvent followed by the reduction of a gold salt by
NaBH4 The presence of alkanethiols as stabilisers leads to the generation of
nanoparticles with diameters between 3-10 nm
Gold nanoparticles functionalised with transition metal units are receiving increased
attention in the field of nanotechnology particularly regarding their applications in
58
catalysis and sensing41 Research in these areas has been driven by the idea that gold
nanoparticles can be decorated with bifunctional surface units containing sulfur groups
and which have termini capable of coordinating to transition metal units42 The most
dominant approach is the chemisorption of thiols on the surface of the gold which has
been shown to be useful in a multitude of applications43 The idea of attaching
ruthenium metal units to gold surfaces is driven by the established approach in which
the gold surface will break the RS-SR bond of the disulfide leading to the formation of
two gold-thiolate interactions at the surface44 The key aspect of using disulfides rather
than thiols is that the reactivity of disulfides with metal centres of medium valency (eg
divalent ruthenium) is low compared to the reactivity with a (formally) zerovalent gold
surface4245 In order to broaden the knowledge of the functionalization of metal
surfaces the investigation was also extended to the analogous functionalisation of
colloidal palladium The scope of the investigation is illustrated in Figure 244
Figure 244 Synthesis of functionalised gold and palladium nanoparticles bearing ruthenium surface units All charged complexes are hexafluorophosphate salts
244 Brust and Schiffrin method
The disulfide linkage in 18 was observed to be stable under all the synthetic conditions
used in this research unless targeted by a strong reducing agent This phenomenon
59
allows the development of the surface architecture of gold nanoparticles functionalised
with ruthenium metal units The approach popularised by Brust and Schiffrin was
employed with a minor modification A methanolic solution of HAuCl4middot3H2O was added
to a solution of 18 in methanol and stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature Freshly
prepared reducing agent NaBH4 in water was added dropwise to the mixture resulting
in a colour change from yellow to brown indicating the formation of gold nanoparticles
The mixture was stirred for another 3 hours in an ice bath equipped with an external
thermometer to maintain the reaction temperature at approximately 10 degC to control
the rate of reduction and heat production during the exothermic reaction The
temperature needs to be constant throughout the synthesis to ensure a homogenous
size of nanoparticles The nanoparticles were washed with water followed by
dichloromethane using a centrifugation technique to remove any unattached surface
unit and led to the formation of black nanoparticles of
Au29[SC6H4CO2Ru(dppm)2]PF6 (NP1) Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
analysis revealed an average diameter of 29 nm (plusmn 02 nm) for the gold nanoparticles
(Figure 245)
Figure 245 Average diameter 29 plusmn 02 nm based on over 200 nanoparticles obtained from the TEM images
The product NP1 was dissolved in deuterated dimethylsulfoxide to allow NMR
analysis The 31P1H NMR spectrum showed the formation of new pseudoquartet
resonances at -186 and -32 ppm with JPP = 357 ppm which differed significantly from
the chemical shifts found in the spectrum of 18 (-127 and 93 ppm JPP = 357) The
presence of the dppm ligands was further confirmed by the presence of a multiplet
resonance for the methylene protons at dramatically shifted chemical shift values of
60
444 and 576 ppm (compared to 388 and 505 ppm for 2 in d6-dmso) The resonances
for the C6H4 unit were masked in the aromatic region by those of the dppm ligands It
is apparent from the displacement in the chemical shift values between 18 and NP1
that there are substantial changes in the local environments of the ruthenium units
when attached to the surface of gold Further analysis showed that the presence of
bands at 1575 cm-1 and 817 cm-1 in the infrared spectrum revealing the retention of
the carboxylate unit and the hexafluorophosphate counter anions in this material
respectively Moreover the results of Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX)
analysis indicate that gold ruthenium sulfur phosphorus and oxygen are present in
NP1 (Figure 246)
Figure 246 EDX spectrum of NP1
Another significant finding was that the loss in mass for NP1 (425) after gradual
heating from 0 degC to 800 degC in a thermogravimetric analyser (TGA) could be correlated
to the elimination of all the lighter elements in the materials leaving only gold and
ruthenium (Figure 247) This allowed the calculation of the surface unit coverage in
the material This revealed an approximate 841 ratio between the gold and the
[SC6H4CO2Ru(dppm)2]PF6 surface units
61
Figure 247 TGA analysis of NP1
In order to broaden the surface unit investigation Inductively-Coupled Plasma Atomic
Emission Spectroscopy (ACP-AES) was employed However the findings were rather
disappointingly inconsistent with other experimental data such as TGA A likely
explanation for this is that the material is not completely soluble at the concentration
of aqua regia used as a standard for the analysis The literature suggests that the
complete dissolution of ruthenium compoundsmaterials can only be achieved through
a high-temperature fusion technique using a molten flux of NaOH-NaNO346
245 Turkevich method
Larger nanoparticles of diameter 10-100 nm are accessible using the Turkevich
method HAuCl4middot3H2O in water was thus heated at reflux for 20 minutes then an
aqueous solution of citrate was added to the reaction mixture and the stirring at room
temperature continued for another 3 hours Trisodium citrate was employed as a weak
reducing agent and temporary capping agent The reaction mixture was left overnight
in a refrigerator to allow the nanoparticles formed to settle The dark blue nanoparticles
obtained Au119[SC6H4CO2Ru(dppm)2]PF6 (NP2) were washed with water
methanol and dichloromethane to remove any uncoordinated surface units TEM
images illustrated the formation of nanoparticles with an average diameter of 119 nm
(plusmn 09 nm) based on over 200 nanoparticles (Figure 248)

Figure 248 TEM images of NP2
Parallel analysis by EDX (Figure 249) detected ruthenium and gold as well as
phosphorus sulfur fluorine and oxygen in the complexes The formation of
Au119[SC6H4CO2Ru(dppm)2]PF6 (NP2) was further confirmed using 31P1H and 1H
NMR spectroscopic data which revealed comparable chemical shift changes to those
observed for NP1 indicating that the ruthenium surface units experienced similar
significant changes to their local environment when attached to the gold surface
compared to those of the molecular precursor 18
One major issue in gold nanoparticle research concerns the interaction of thiols with
the surface and the subsequent disruption caused to the metal surface This is the so-
called lsquostaplingrsquo phenomenon predicted by theory and observed in crystallographic
studies which can lead to the loss of surface units as gold(I) dithiolates This
undesirable loss of surface functionality is a significant drawback4748 The
dichloromethane filtrate used to wash the gold nanoparticles was analyzed to
determine the presence of surface units of dithiolate [AuSC6H4CO2Ru(dppm)22]PF6
(19) However there was no evidence for the presence of dithiolates only unreacted
[Ru(dppm)2(O2CC6H4S-4)2](PF6)2
63
Figure 249 EDX analysis of NP2
The TGA data showed that 575 metallic residue (gold and ruthenium) remained
after heating while 425 of the mass loss was due to the surface units The ratio
between the gold and [SC6H4CO2Ru(dppm)2]PF6 surface units was therefore
calculated as approximately 681 (Figure 2410)

246 Palladium nanoparticle surface functionalisation
Compound 18 was also used to functionalise palladium nanoparticles Under an inert
atmosphere the palladium precursor [PdCl2(NCMe)2] was reduced by lithium
triethylborohydride in the presence of the phase transfer agent tetraoctylammonium
bromide (TOAB)49 before addition of a mixture of compound 18 in dry tetrahydrofuran
and dry acetonitrile The product of this procedure was the palladium nanoparticles
Pd[SC6H4CO2Ru(dppm)2]PF6 (NP3) which were washed with methanol and
acetone to remove unreacted starting material and excess TOAB NMR Spectroscopy
was found not to be suitable to analyse NP3 due to their insolubility in all common
deuterated solvents However typical features attributed to the surface units were
observed in the solid state infrared spectrum as found for NP1 and NP2
Figure 2411TEM image of NP3
TEM analysis showed small nanoparticles with diameter 22 nm (plusmn 02 nm) (Figure
2411) EDX analysis (Figure 2412) further confirmed the presence of palladium and
ruthenium surface units Approximately 384 of lighter elements were lost in TGA
analysis leaving 616 palladium and ruthenium metallic residue (Figure 2413) This
suggested that the ratio of palladium to surface units is close to 151 indicating a
sparsely covered nanoparticle surface

25 Conclusion
The generation of monometallic complexes with different geometries bearing the
dithiocarbamate ligand [KS2CN(CH2py)2] was successfully carried out Unfortunately
attempts to insert a second metal into the assemblies through the use of the potentially
bidentate nitrogen donor atoms was unsuccessful
This finding led to the exploration of the polyfunctional dicarboxylic ligand H2dcbpy as
a starting point for the synthesis of heteromultimetallic complexes based on ruthenium
and rhenium precursors The synthesis was successful in highlighting the strong
affinity of carboxylate and nitrogen moieties to coordinate ruthenium and rhenium
centres respectively
Lastly various bi- and a trimetallic complex consisting of ruthenium rhenium and gold
were synthesised by tuning the reactivity of sulfur and carboxylate donors of 4-
mercaptobenzoic acid A ruthenium complex containing a disulfide linker was then
successfully used as a straightforward precursor with which to functionalize the
surface of gold and palladium nanoparticles

3 From recovered metal waste to high-performance palladium catalysts
31 Background and significance
Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) are recognised as ldquocritical raw materialsrdquo1 due to their
rarity and their unique chemical and physical properties2 that lead to numerous
applications in industry One of the most promising applications of PGMs (particularly
Pt Pd and Rh) is the manufacturing of three-way catalytic converters (TWCs) in the
automotive industry These precious metals are dispersed in a washcoat coated with
the ceramic or metallic substrate in the exhaust stream to convert most of the harmful
gases (carbon monoxide unburned hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide) generated from
incomplete combustion in automobile exhausts into harmless substances (nitrogen
carbon dioxide and water vapour)3 Unfortunately the catalytic converters deactivate
and lose their catalytic activities in approximately 8-10 years4 due to several factors
such as fouling5 poisoning6 thermal degradation7 and sintering8 over time The
disposal of used catalytic converters is an environmental issue as a considerable
quantity of the precious metal they contain is disposed of directly into landfills9
In conjunction with European Union legislation10 on the recovery of precious metals
from waste and pollution reduction different recovery processes have been explored
and developed The most well-established recovery processes to recover PGMs from
catalytic converters are known as a pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical process
The pyrometallurgical route requires an energy-intensive process involving multiple
complicated steps including crushing batching granulation and smelting (at high
temperature)11 This method is known to be unselective for noble metals (NMs)12 The
alternative the hydrometallurgical process offers better selectivity and predictability in
the extraction metals using strong oxidising agents and cyanide but the presence of
harmful reagents in waste water derived from the process raises concerns over
environmental safety12
As a replacement for these environmentally-unattractive processes sustainable
lixiviants such as dihalogendithioxamide compounds have been shown to be a
powerful oxidation system capable of recovering NMs from secondary sources13 This
method offers attractive features such as high efficiency of recovery of NMs in
71
conjunction with low environmental impact This approach is thus suitable for replacing
more energy intensive polluting and harmful methods that are used commercially14
Pioneering work by Serpe et al15 has demonstrated an effective method of Pd-
dissolution utilising organic compounds such as the NN-dimethylperhydrodiazepine-
23-dithione diiodine adduct (Me2dazdtmiddot2I2)15 This compound successfully acts as a
leaching agent which is selective for palladium in the presence of rhodium and
platinum in a model system designed to mimic spent TWCs under mild conditions
(methylethylketone solution 80 degC atmospheric pressure)15 (Figure 311) This
reaction produces the complex [Pd(Me2dazdt)2]I6 which requires conventional
thermal treatment to recover metallic palladium as the end product However this
process requires an energy-intensive step which destroys the ligands making it a less
practical technique for recycling palladium To solve this problem it is proposed to
utilise directly the [Pd(Me2dazdt)2]I6 complex obtained from the recovery process An
interesting possible application that has been explored is as a precursor to a Pd(0)
photocatalyst for hydrogen production4
Figure 311 Extraction of palladium as the [Pd(Me2dazdt)2]I6 salt
Pd(II) complexes are known to be excellent catalysts for C-H bond activation due to
their stability towards oxidation while generating an organometallic intermediate (C-
PdII bond) The use of different commercially-available oxidants offers many
possibilities allowing for different functional groups to be inserted into a C-PdII bond16
The Wilton-Ely group demonstrated the ability of novel Pd(II) complexes bearing
dithiocarboxylate ligands to efficiently catalyse the C-H functionalization of
benzo[h]quinoline to form 10-methoxybenzo[h]quinoline in good yield17 following the
catalytic condition employed previously by Sanford18
72
In this Chapter palladium(II) dithiooxamide complexes are obtained directly from the
recovery process of TWCs and were chosen as potential candidates for the C-H
activation of benzo[h]quinoline and 8-methylquinoline In order to obtain a broader
picture of the effectiveness of disulfur species a range of different Pd(II)
dithiocarbamate complexes was synthesised and characterised This includes homo-
and heteroleptic mono- and bimetallic complexes in conjunction with neutral and
cationic palladium species The results obtained will provide a comparison with a
previously reported study using traditional catalysts18 mainly commercially available
Pd(OAc)2 In addition the optimisation of the catalytic reaction conditions will be
conducted by varying three different factors Pd loading temperature and time In this
context the work described here will focus on lower temperatures (50 degC) and shorter
reaction times (2-24 h) using appropriate Pd loadings (1-5 mol) to enhance the
lsquogreen credentialsrsquo of the method
The work in this chapter was completed with the help of an MRes student Chuek Yee
Kwok All the data in this Chapter have been published in the journal Green Chemistry
in a paper entitled ldquoFrom recovered metal waste to high-performance palladium
catalystsrdquo19
311 Aims and objective
The aims of this chapter were as follows
1 Synthesise and characterise a series of neutral and cationic homo- and
heteroleptic mono- and bimetallic palladium compound based on
dithiocarbamate and dithiooxamide ligand
2 Investigate the catalytic activity of the palladium complexes bearing disulfur
species towards C-H functionalization of benzo[h]quinoline to 10-alkoxy
benzo[h]quinoline and 8-methylquinoline to 8-(methoxymethyl)quinoline in the
presence of the oxidant PhI(OAc)2
3 Optimisation of catalytic reaction conditions based on milder and safer (low
temperature 50 degC) approach and over shorter (1-3 h) reaction time

32 Synthesis of dithiocarbamate and dithiooxamide complexes of palladium
A series of palladium(II) dithiocarbamate complexes [Pd(S2CNEt2)(PPh3)2]PF6 (23)
[Pd(S2CNEt2)2] (24) [(Ph3P)2Pd(S2CNC4H8NCS2)Pd(PPh3)2][PF6]2
(25)[(Ph3P)2PdS2CN(CH2Ph)CH2CH2N(CH2Ph)CS2Pd(PPh3)2][PF6]2 (26) were
prepared The Pd(II) dithiooxamide complexes [Pd(Me2dazdt)2]I6 (27)
[PdI2(Me2dazdt)] (28) and [Pd(Cy2DTO)2]I8 (29) were obtained directly from the
recovery process All compounds were characterised and later tested as potential
homogeneous catalysts in the selective C-H functionalization reaction
321 Synthesis and characterisation of Pd(II) dithiocarbamate complexes
Both monometallic palladium dithiocarbamate complexes 232021 and 242223 were
synthesised according to published routes (Figure 321) The heteroleptic palladium
complex (23) was synthesised by adding a dichloromethane solution of cis-
[PdCl2(PPh3)2] to a methanolic solution of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate in the
presence of KPF6 (potassium hexafluorophosphate) The reaction mixture was
refluxed for 5 hours to yield a yellow precipitate in 91 yield For 24 stirring one
equivalent of K2[PdCl4] with two equivalents of NaS2CNEt2 at room temperature led to
the formation of the yellow product in 85 yield Both complexes were analysed by
1H 31P1H NMR and infrared spectroscopy and the results obtained were in accord
with the literature data2021
The dipotassium salt of NNrsquo-bis(dithiocarboxy)piperazine [KS2CNC4H8NCS2K]2425
was prepared by treating an ethanolic mixture of piperazine and potassium carbonate
(KOH) with CS2 at low temperature for 30 minutes The generation of the novel
bimetallic complex 25 was successfully achieved by the addition of cis-[PdCl2(PPh3)2]
in dichloromethane to a methanolic solution of KS2CNC4H8NCS2K in the presence of
KPF6 resulting in the formation of a yellow product in good yield (79) The solid-
state infrared spectrum displayed characteristic absorptions for the triphenylphosphine
and the C-S units at 831 and 999 cm-1 respectively The diagnostic signal for the
dithiocarbamate ligand in the 1H NMR spectrum appeared as a singlet resonance at
392 ppm A singlet phosphorus resonance for the PPh3 ligand was observed at 305
ppm in the 31P1H NMR spectrum while the 13C1H NMR spectrum showed the
74
expected singlet resonance at 206 ppm for the CS2 unit of the dithiocarbamate (DTC)
ligand An indicative fragmentation at mz 749 for [M2 + 3MeCN + 2H]+ was observed
in the mass spectrum under electrospray conditions in +ve mode The formulation of
25 was further confirmed by elemental analysis which revealed a good agreement
between experimental and calculated values
Figure 321 Synthesis route to palladium complexes with chelating dithiocarbamates
An aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide was added dropwise to a mixture of NNrsquo-
dibenzylethylenediamine and carbon disulfide in water to yield
KS2CN(Bz)CH2CH2N(Bz)CS2K26 This ligand was treated with cis-[PdCl2(PPh3)2] in
the presence of a counterion to form [(Ph3P)2PdS2CN(Bz)CH2CH2N(Bz)
CS2Pd(PPh3)2][PF6]2 (26) as a yellow powder The characterisation by infrared
spectroscopy revealed typical absorptions for the triphenylphosphine ligands in the
complex The 1H NMR spectrum displayed two singlet resonances at 362 and 456
ppm which were attributed to the ethylene bridge (NCH2CH2N) and benzyl methylene
group (PhCH2) respectively Distinct resonances for the phenyl ring were observed in
75
the aromatic region (ortho at 694 ppm meta at 717 ppm and para at 727 ppm) The
phosphorus nuclei were observed as a pair of doublets at 305 and 309 ppm with a
mutual coupling of 325 Hz In the 13C1H NMR spectrum the ethylene groups
NCH2CH2N and CH2Ph were observed to resonate at lower field at 451 and 539 ppm
respectively while a singlet at higher field at 207 ppm was attributed to the CS2 unit
The overall formulation of 26 was confirmed by an abundant molecular ion in the
electrospray (+ve ion) mass spectrum at mz 826 and by good agreement of the
elemental analysis with calculated values
322 Structural discussion
Single crystals of both novel bimetallic palladium dithiocarbamate complexes were
grown successfully by the solvent layering technique and structural studies were
undertaken The structures are shown in Figure 322 and Figure 323 Only selected
protons are shown and all counteranions are omitted
3221 The X-ray crystal structure of complex 25
[(Ph3P)2Pd(S2CNC4H8NCS2)Pd(PPh3)2][PF6]2 (25) was crystallised in two different
polymorphs in the same sample (NMR tube) The yellow block monoclinic crystal of
25-A (Figure 322) and yellow block triclinic crystal of 25-B (Figure 323) displayed
the most common binding mode of dithiocarbamate ligands to form square planar
complexes The piperazine linker for both crystal structures adopts a chair
conformation similar to the complexes [(Ph3P)2Pt2(S2CNC4H8NCS2)](PF6)227 and
[(dppf)2Pd2(S2CNC4H8NCS2)](PF6)227

Figure 323 Structure of the cation present in the crystal of 25-B The hexaflorophosphate anions and H-atoms has been omitted to aid clarity
It is apparent from the data in Table 321 that the S-M-S bite angles of the
dithiocarbamate ligand in the new complexes lie in the range 7504(4) - 7536(3)˚
which are comparable to those of the complex [(dppf)2Pd2(S2CNC4H8NCS2)](PF6)2
(7518(5)˚) Also the S-C-S angle for 25-A and 25-B complexes has an average value
of 112˚ which is similar to previously reported palladium examples and the PdS2CN
unit is found to be planar in both cases The C-N distance for 25-A is slightly shorter
77
(1302(5) Aring) compared to 25-B (1326(4) Aring) but both are close to the typical average
C-N distance for dithiocarbamate complexes (1324 Aring)28 Furthermore the average C-
S bond lengths for 25-A and 25-B is 173(4) Aring and 172(4) Aring respectively which are
close to the typical average for dithiocarbamate complexes (1715 Aring)28 The average
Pd-S distance for 25-A and 25-B (2343(9) Aring) is very close to the palladium examples
in the literature (2347 Aring) Overall there is a slight deviation from planarity for the
dithiocarbamate ligand at the palladium metal centre in both complexes which can be
traced to the effect of sterically demanding co-ligands such as PPh3 and dppf27

A yellow tablet-shaped crystal of the dipalladium dicationic complex
[(Ph3P)2PdS2CN(CH2Ph)CH2CH2N(CH2Ph)CS2Pd(PPh3)2] [PF6]2 (26) was grown by

The compound [(dppf)PdS2CN(CH2Ph)CH2CH2N(CH2Ph)CS2Pd(dppf)](PF6)226 can
be compared directly to complex 26 (Table 322) Complex 26 displays unsymmetrical
chelation of the metal to the dithiocarbamate ligand compared to the literature
complex which shows only small differences in its M-S and C-S distances In addition
the average C-N bond length (13195(9) Aring) recorded for 26 is comparable to typical
values for dithiocarbamate complexes of group 10 metals The S-M-S bite angle and
S-C-S angle value found in 26 are close to those of the literature complex perhaps
due to the presence of the slightly greater bulk of PPh3 vs dppf

323 Transformation of palladium metal to Pd(II) dithiooxamide products
The interaction of sulfur donors with a suitable acceptor such as diiodine in charge-
transfer adducts has been shown to provide powerful reagents for the oxidation of
metal powders29 The studies conducted by Serpe et al14 have demonstrated that
diiodine adducts of cyclic dithiooxamides which consist of soft donor atoms (iodine)
and the chelating properties of two vicinal thiones are capable of stabilising oxidised
d8 complexes of gold and palladium The most effective adduct Me2dazdtmiddot2I2 was
employed as a leaching agent to selectively extract palladium without reacting with the
other elements present in the ceramic support of spent catalytic converters such as
platinum and rhodium15 However the reduction of these compounds back to metallic
palladium requires an energy-intensive process This has encouraged us to explore
the ability of applying directly the palladium dithiooxamide complexes obtained in this
case as a catalyst in a C-H functionalization reaction
The reaction of two equivalents of Me2dazdtmiddot2I2 with palladium powder in acetone at
room temperature yielded [Pd(Me2dazdt)2]I6 (27) in very good yield (92) Diffusion of
diethyl ether into a concentrated acetone mixture of the complex successfully led to
flat black crystals of 27 The infrared and 1H NMR data were found to be in a good
agreement with literature values15 The heteroleptic complex [PdI2(Me2dazdt)] (28)
was obtained as a by-product (6) of this leaching process by re-crystallisation of the
crude mixture with Et2O (Figure 325) Using ligand substitution reactions hetero- (23)
and homoleptic (24) palladium dithiocarbamate complexes were prepared by the
reaction of 28 with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate and triphenylphosphine
80
Figure 325 Preparation of Pd(II) dithiooxamide complexes (n = 1 or 3)
Despite its success in the leaching process the synthesis of Me2dazdtmiddot2I2 requires
expensive (and evil-smelling) starting materials It was therefore decided to employ an
alternative and inexpensive acyclic secondary dithiooxamide ligand known as NNrsquo-
dicyclohexyl-dithiooxamide (Cy2DTO) to substitute the cyclic ligand Compound 29
[Pd(Cy2DTO)2]I8 was prepared by treating the acyclic Cy2DTO ligand with palladium
powder in ethyl acetate in the presence of iodine as an oxidant Red-brown crystals of
29 were obtained in good yields (70) by diffusion of Et2O into a concentrated acetone
mixture of the complex
33 Catalytic activity
The first substantial investigations of C-H functionalization catalysed by Pd(II)
complexes emerged during the 2000s Sanford and co-workers18 reported the C-H
functionalization of benzo[h]quinoline to 10-alkoxybenzo[h]quinoline (Figure 331
Reaction A) employing commercially available palladium acetate as a catalyst and
PhI(OAc)2 as a sacrificial oxidant The reaction was conducted in various alcohols to
81
produce a variety of alkyl-aryl ethers (R = Me Et Pri and CH2CF3) in a thick glass vial
at 100 degC with a reaction time typically between 18-27 hours
Figure 331 Oxidative C-H functionalisation reactions investigated in this work
Methoxylation of 8-methylquinoline (Figure 331 Reaction B) was also performed
under similar conditions Table 331 summarises the catalytic conditions and yields
for different substrates explored in the literature
Table 331 Literature conditions18 and yields for selective CndashH bond activation with different substrates using Pd(OAc)2 catalyst and PhI(OAc)2 as sacrificial oxidant at 100 degC
A significant breakthrough in the use of sulfur chelates to support these reactions was
achieved in the Wilton-Ely group17 This showed that a palladium complex bearing a
chelating dithiocarboxylate ligand was an active catalyst for this C-H activation
reaction Despite the prevailing assumption that sulfur ligands were less suitable to
support catalysis these complexes attained comparable catalytic results for Reaction
A to those found in the literature employing similar reaction conditions18 Using these

findings as a proof of concept palladium complexes based on dithiocarbamate and
dithiooxamide units were tested as potential candidates for this homogeneous catalytic
reaction
331 Catalysis reaction conditions
The standard procedure for C-H functionalization proposed in the literature18 requires
the use of suitable high-pressure vials fitted with Teflon-lined caps which are heated
in an aluminium heating block at high temperature (100 degC) for the specified time
However heating a flammable organic solvent above its boiling point in the confined
space of the vial generates potential dangers related to pressure build-up In addition
it would be better to reduce the energy consumption from heating at high temperatures
overnight In this Section it will be demonstrated how these issues can be remedied
by optimising the reaction conditions employing temperatures below the boiling point
(50 degC) of the solvent and minimising the reaction time
For the reactions performed at 100 degC thick-walled vials with Teflon screw caps
equipped with an egg-shaped stir bar were used A blast shield was placed around the
setup as a precautionary measure Before re-using the thick vials and stir bars were
cleaned using aqua regia to ensure the removal of any palladium residue which might
affect the results of the catalytic reaction For the reactions conducted at 50 degC the
thick vials were replaced by commercially-available 14 mL thin-walled vials A drysyn
aluminium heating plate was used to provide constant heating allowing up to twelve
sample vials to be used for parallel reactions An electronic temperature regulator
connected to the heating plate was used to maintain the desired temperature before
the vials were inserted into the wells A second independent thermometer was also
inserted into a well to monitor the consistent heating throughout the experiment A
drop of silicone oil was added to ensure adequate heat transfer between the heating
block and vials
Benzo[h]quinoline was treated with the palladium catalyst in the presence of
(diacetoxy)iodobenzene [PhI(OAc)2] in the appropriate solvent A small amount of
sample was taken out and analysed by 1H NMR spectroscopy to determine the product
yields Since the reactions yielded no side products the yield of the product could be
83
determined by comparing the integration of resonances of H-2 (930 ppm) and H-10
protons (901 ppm) of benzo[h]quinoline with the diagnostic resonance of methoxy
(CH3) ethoxy (CH2CH3) or trifluoroethoxy (CH2CF3) groups which appeared at 419
163 and 445 and 474 ppm respectively in the alkoxy product Employing the same
protocols the yield of 8-(methoxymethyl)quinoline was determined by comparing the
integration of methyl resonances (282 ppm) of 8-methylquinoline with the resonances
of the methylene (519 ppm) and methoxy (357 ppm) groups in the product Three
experiments were conducted and the values averaged
To validate the 1H NMR integration method used to calculate the yield of product the
internal standard of 135-trimethoxybenzene was used in conjunction with the
integration of the 1H NMR spectrum of an equimolar mixture of pure benzo[h]quinoline
and 10-methoxybenzo[h]quinoline This revealed a small NMR spectroscopic error of
approximately 1-2 that confirmed the validity of the measurement method used In
addition an isolated yield of the product (for optimised conditions) was recorded after
scaling the experiment up and purifying using a flash column on silica which provided
further support to the yields determined by the 1H NMR integration method
332 Initial catalytic studies
To assess the potential of Pd(II) dithiocarbamate complexes as potential catalysts for
the proposed reaction (Figure 331 Reaction A) The complexes 23 24 25 and 26
were introduced to a vial along with benzo[h]quinoline and PhI(OAc)2 Methanol was
added to act as both reagent and medium and the reaction was performed following
literature18 conditions (100 degC 1 mol Pd loading 22 h) As can be seen in Figure
332 mono- (23 and 24) and bimetallic (25 and 26) palladium(II) dithiocarbamate
complexes proved to be active catalysts for the methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline
producing the desired product in good yield (75 - 87) Moreover an analysis of the
1H NMR spectra obtained revealed that the reactions occur without any evidence of
byproducts
84

With the objective of reducing the energy consumption for the catalytic reaction it was
decided to shorten the reaction time to two hours without changing any other
parameters Surprisingly an excellent yield of product was obtained approximately
87 69 87 and 84 for Pd(II) complexes 23 24 25 and 26 respectively This
unexpected but notable finding led us to try and optimise the conditions regarding
palladium loading and time to obtain the highest efficacy at the lowest environmental
impact
333 Standard operating conditions of palladium dithiocarbamate complexes
(SOCDTC)
The unexpected higher yield of methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline at 50 degC reported
in Section 332 prompted us to adopt lower temperatures routinely for the catalysis
experiments These conditions are desirable both in terms of the safety implications
of heating organic solvent above its boiling point in a closed vessel as well as regarding
the energy consumption for heating purposes especially on a larger scale The
standard operating condition for palladium dithiocarbamate complexes (SOCDTC) was

determined by varying two different parameters the palladium loading and reaction
time
Complex 23 (1 mol) was used as a catalyst for the C-H functionalization of
benzo[h]quinoline in the presence of the oxidant in methanol to yield 96 of the
product after 22 hours reaction at 50 degC Contrary to expectations these findings are
comparable with those obtained employing Pd(OAc)2 at a higher temperature (100
degC) as reported in the literature18 (95 yield) The experiment was then repeated
under similar conditions but for shorter reaction time (2 h) leading to a lower yield
(36) of product In order to improve these results but keeping the reaction time at 2
hours a series of test reactions explored the impact of increasing the palladium
loading (from 2 to 5 mol) Figure 333 shows the clear incremental trend of the yield
corresponding to the increase in the palladium loading It is interesting to note how the
yield reaches a plateau at 3 mol loading of palladium with an almost complete
conversion (99) to the sole product
Figure 333 Methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline at 50 degC Catalyst = 23 Oxidant = PhI(OAc)2 T = 50 degC t = 2 h
Further analyses were carried out using different Pd(II) dithiocarbamate catalysts (24
25 and 26) to determine the ideal loading for the catalytic reaction The results
obtained for the optimisation study are shown in Figure 334 The bar chart contains

showed lower catalytic activity giving a 73 conversion yield even at high loading (5
mol) This result can be explained by the presence of two anionic SS-chelating
dithiocarbamate ligands that are less labile compared to the monodentate
triphenylphosphine ligands in 23 These findings further support the proposed reaction
mechanism which postulates a labile triphenylphosphine ligand dissociates from the
Pd(II) coordination sphere Similarly it is also interesting to note that lowering the
temperature affected the performances of 24 due to the higher activation energy
barrier for the dissociation of the SS-chelate ligand which prevented higher yields of
product from being obtained
Figure 334 Table showing results for Reaction A using dithiocarbamate complexes 23 - 26 as catalysts R = Me solvent = MeOH oxidant = PhI(OAc)2 T = 50 degC t = 2 h
Furthermore it is somewhat surprising that the catalytic performances of the palladium
complexes 25 and 26 were comparable to that of 23 almost complete conversion was
achieved with a palladium loading of 3 mol suggesting that the bimetallic nature of
both complexes did not affect the performance of the catalyst It appears that the metal
centres simply act as two independent catalytically active palladium units rather than
showing any cooperativity as was initially anticipated19 Based on this catalytic
performance the standard operating conditions (SOCDTC) for these catalysts was set
at 3 mol Pd loading 50 degC for 2 hours

3331 Isolated yield investigation
To further confirm the successful formation of the product and to validate the 1H NMR
integration yield large-scale reactions of benzo[h]quinoline (150 mg) and 3 mol of
catalysts 23 and 26 in methanol were stirred at 50 degC for 2 hours (SOCDTC) All solvent
was removed under reduced pressure leading to the formation of a brown oil A flash
column on silica was employed to purify the product using a mixture of ethyl acetate
and hexane as the mobile phase The pale yellow solid 10-methoxybenzo[h]quinoline
was collected The yield was 172 mg (98) for catalyst 23 and 167 mg (95) for
catalyst 26 In both cases the integration of the 1H NMR spectrum reveals the
formation of the product in 99 yield
334 Extending the catalytic scope of Pd(II) dithiocarbamate complexes
All the palladium dithiocarbamate complexes 23 - 26 were then tested as catalysts for
the formation of other alkoxybenzo[h]quinoline products (Reaction A) employing the
established SOCDTC conditions Changing the alcohol solvent used in the
transformation to ethanol a mixture of isopropanol and acetic acid and
trifluoroethanol respectively yielded the products 10-ethoxybenzo[h]quinoline 10-
isopropoxybenzo[h]quinoline and 10-trifluoroethoxybenzo[h]quinoline respectively A
different substrate 8-methylquinoline was also used to extend the investigation of C-
H functionalization to a different class of substrate (Reaction B)
The yields of the alkoxy products were calculated by integrating the 1H NMR spectra
obtained from three independent experiments and tabulated in Table 332 Better
yields of 10-ethoxybenzo[h]quinoline were achieved using complex 23 (89) and 24
(83) employing SOCDTC compared to the literature procedure (51 mol 24 h 80)
However both the bimetallic complexes (25 and 26) demonstrated a lower catalytic
activity compared to their monometallic counterpart In order to achieve a quantitative
yield (gt90) of 10-isopropoxybenzo[h]quinoline it was necessary to increase the
reaction time particularly for 24 which required 24 hours for a 99 yield In addition
shorter times (2 - 4 hours) were all that was required to yield 92 - 99 of 10-
trifluoroethoxybenzo[h]quinoline using all dithiocarbamate catalysts tested Overall
this new approach offers milder and safer reaction conditions along with the same or
88
better catalytic activity in Reaction A using complexes 23 25 and 26 compared to the
literature procedure18 Only the catalytic activity of homoleptic complex 24 was found
to be affected when the transformation was performed at lower temperatures The
analysis of methoxylation of 8-methylquinoline was carried out in a similar manner
The percentage yield of product was found to be lower (lt 80) by employing SOCDTC
in comparison to the literature conditions (19 mol Pd(OAc)218 h 80)

34 Palladium dithiooxamide catalysts
As demonstrated above transition metal catalysts are able to lower the activation
energy and allow the reaction to proceed faster and with lower energy requirements
However these metals are limited in supply and consequently very expensive The
dithiocarbamate palladium(II) complexes described above are typically generated
89
from palladium salts derived from mining which is also an environmentally-damaging
process These aspects have led to tremendous efforts to substitute these PGMs with
less expensive and more abundant materials for catalysis but few alternatives have
been found to be as effective and versatile as PGM metals
Thus a recovery process for PGMs is required to salvage the precious metals and
especially palladium from waste (secondary sources) to decrease the dependence
on the limited natural resources It would thus be ideal to identify a bidentate sulfur
ligand which is able to selectively recover palladium metal and then allow the complex
formed to be applied directly as a catalyst in C-H functionalization reactions without
any further purification For this purpose complexes 27 28 and 29 were prepared by
reaction of a bidentate dithiooxamide with palladium metal under mild conditions and
the resulting products were then tested to determine their catalytic activity
341 Initial catalytic screening
The activity of palladium(II) dithiooxamide complexes as potential catalysts for C-H
activation was tested using the benchmark reaction of methoxylation of
benzo[h]quinoline (Reaction A) The conversion to 10-methoxybenzo[h]quinoline was
achieved in 95 yield using Pd(OAc)2 (1 mol) as a catalyst in 22 hours at 100 degC
which confirmed the findings in the literature18 In order to establish whether such
forcing conditions were necessary a shorter reaction time (2 h) employing the same
protocol was explored using complex 27 Very surprisingly this gave a very good yield
of 87 indicating that the reaction was much more facile than the literature conditions
would suggest This significant finding prompted us also to investigate the effect of
temperature especially given the hazards caused by heating methanol at 100 degC in
the original protocol Keeping all the other parameters unchanged the temperature
was reduced to 50 degC causing the yield of the product to decrease to 67 with 27 as
the catalyst and to 33 when Pd(OAc)2 was used (Table 341) Thus optimised
conditions for different alkoxy functionalization were explored by tuning the catalyst
loading while maintaining the temperature at 50 degC

342 Optimization of standard operating conditions for dithiooxamide
catalysts (SOCDTO)
Two variables (time and Pd loading) were manipulated while maintaining a
temperature of 50 degC in order to explore the catalytic performances of 27 for different
types of alkoxy functionalization Figure 341 provides the experimental data for the
methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline at 50 degC It is apparent that 1 mol Pd loading
required longer reaction times to produce a near-quantitative yield of product This
finding suggests that as expected the decrease in temperature led to a decrease in
the rate of chemical reaction By doubling the palladium loading to 2 mol a
quantitative conversion of the product was obtained (99) in just 2 hours

A similar observation was recorded for the catalytic reaction to produce 10-ethoxy
benzo[h]quinoline (Figure 342) Increasing the palladium loading increases the rate
of reaction allowing the reaction to reach completion in a shorter time In this
transformation an even shorter reaction time (1 hour) was able to produce 96 of the
product using 27 (2 mol) as the catalyst An additional hour of stirring seemed to
have little additional effect as the conversion rates for different palladium loadings
reached a plateau after 2 hours
Figure 342 Optimization of conditions for the ethoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline Catalyst = 27 Oxidant = PhI(OAc)2 T = 50 degC
When exploring the installation of more sterically-demanding alkoxy moieties product
conversions of 72 and 71 were reported in the literature18 for R = Pri (t = 27 h 33
mol Pd(OAc)2 T = 100 degC ) and R = CH2CF3 (t = 21 h 13 mol Pd(OAc)2 T = 100
degC) However similar results are readily achieved by complex 27 in only 1 and 2 hours
respectively employing a 2 mol palladium loading at 50 degC (Table 342) Overall
the activity of 27 as a catalyst for these reactions was very promising compared to the
literature protocol which required higher temperatures and longer reaction times
Thus the standard operating conditions for the dithiooxamide catalysts (SOCDTO) were
established as 2 mol 50 degC and 2 hours

It was then decided to explore the catalytic efficiency of the neutral species (28) and
the complex bearing the less expensive acyclic dithioxamide ligand (29)
Methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline using 28 and 29 as catalysts reached more than
90 yield of the desired product under SOCDTO (Figure 343) A slight increase in
product conversion was observed when the reaction time was extended for another 1
or 2 hours
93

Once again a lower yield of product was recorded when using more sterically-
demanding reagents As can be seen in Figure 344 using catalyst 28 under the
SOCDTO a moderate yield of 10-isopropoxybenzo[h]quinoline (57) was obtained
compared to 10-ethoxybenzo[h]quinoline (88) which involves less steric hindrance
Extending the reaction time from 3 to 5 hours did not lead to a significant increase in
the product conversion

The scope of the study was extended to the acetoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline
(Reaction C Figure 345) The reaction proceeded by mixing benzo[h]quinoline
complex 27 (1-2 mol) and PhI(OAc)2 in acetonitrile at 50 degC
Figure 345 Acetoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline
Figure 346 clearly indicates that a lower yield of product was obtained (lt 20) using
both 1 or 2 mol Pd loading for reaction times ranging from 1 to 5 h at 50 degC This
suggests that at a lower temperature a smaller proportion of molecules have enough
activation energy needed to react and generate the product This result led us to adopt
the literature18 protocol temperature (75 degC) for comparison Interestingly the reaction
using 2 mol of 27 produced a comparable yield (86) after just 9 hours of reaction
compared to the 12 hours reported by Sanford and co-workers employing Pd(OAc)2

The ability of dithiooxamide complexes 28 and 29 to act as catalysts for the different
substrates was confirmed by a quantitative yield of 8-(methoxymethyl)quinoline using
SOCDTO (Table 343) This result far exceeds the literature value18 that showed only
80 conversion using 19 mol Pd(OAc)2 at 100 degC after 18 hours of reaction

343 Isolated yield of the products
A scaled-up reaction was carried out to support the validity of the 1H NMR integration
result Catalyst 27 was used on a larger scale methoxylation reaction of
benzo[h]quinoline employing SOCDTO A brown oil was collected after the removal of
the solvent by rotary evaporation A flash column with silica as the stationary phase
was set up to purify the mixture to yield 10-methoxybenzo[h]quinoline employing 32
vv ethyl acetate to n-hexane as an eluent A pale yellow solid was collected with 93
yield being in good agreement with that determined by 1H NMR analysis (99)
8-(Methoxymethyl)quinoline was prepared by reaction of 8-methylquinoline and 2
mol of complex 27 at 50 degC for 4 hours in methanol All the solvent was removed
96
under reduced pressure to yield an oily product This was dissolved in 91 vv hexane
and ethyl acetate and a flash column performed to gave a yellow oil in 98 yield
Again this isolated yield compares well with the 1H NMR spectroscopic integration
method (100)
35 Conclusion
The work in this chapter was inspired by two essential aspects of lsquogreen chemistryrsquo
namely the recovery of palladium from Three-Way Catalyst (TWC) waste and its reuse
as a homogeneous catalyst in organic synthesis without further modification of the
recovery product First it was demonstrated that sulfur ligands could be used to
support metal-mediated catalytic C-H activation This was then expanded to show that
palladium(II) complexes obtained from secondary sources (waste) using
dithioxamides (leaching agent) and iodine (oxidant source of counteranions) are
active homogeneous catalysts for the selective C-H activation reaction under mild
conditions Complexes 27 and 28 obtained from the recovery process of spent TWCs
were used directly as catalysts in the C-H activation of benzo[h]quinoline and 8-
methylquinoline Surprisingly both catalysts demonstrated a quantitative yield at
milder and safer conditions (50 degC 2 mol 1-3h) than those used in the literature
protocol (100 degC 1-5 mol 22-27 h) which employs commercially-available Pd(OAc)2
as a catalyst These results prompted us to employ the inexpensive acyclic ligand
Cy2DTO for the Pd recovery to form [Pd(Cy2DTO)2]I8 (29) which displays a slightly
lower (lt 90) catalytic activity than complexes 27 and 28 This breakthrough could
ultimately decrease the financial cost of synthesising palladium catalysts by using
secondary production material (TWC waste) instead of sources from often
environmentally-damaging mining (primary production) Thus these finding will
increase the value of the metal recovered from industrial waste and reduce the burden
on natural reserves as primary sources for scarce and expensive materials like PGMs
for catalytic applications
The other significant finding is the dithiocarbamate complex catalysed C-H activation
of benzo[h]quinoline and 8-methylquinoline with different alkoxy functionalities
Dithiocarbamates are versatile ligands but have little precedent in the support of
catalytic activity All dithiocarbamate complexes except 24 produced a quantitative
97
yield of product (gt 90) in the methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline using SOCDTC
compared to the more forcing conditions used in the literature (100 degC 12 mol 22
h) The catalytic activity of complex 24 was found to be limited at 50 degC which might
be due to greater resistance to substitution of the two chelating DTC ligands compared
to the more labile phosphines present in the other complexes Installation of a variety
of functional groups (R = OEt OiPr and OCH2CF3) in the benzo[h]quinoline substrate
was successfully achieved albeit requiring extended reaction times compare to the
dithiooxamide compounds

4 Generation of homogeneous palladium catalysts from secondary sources
using simple ligands
41 Background and significance
In Chapter 3 selective metal leaching was combined with application in catalysis to
recover palladium from spent three-way catalysts (TWCs) and to apply the complexes
generated directly in homogeneous catalysis In doing so the energy-intensive step of
metal recovery (reduction from PdII to Pd0) can be avoided lowering the cost and the
environmental impact of producing an active catalyst and thus promoting the
sustainability of the recovery process
Among the ligands employed NNrsquo-dimethylperhydrodiazepine-23-dithione
[Me2dazdt] was recognised as an excellent ligand for the palladium leaching process
As an iodine adduct it can completely dissolve palladium in a highly selective manner
to form PdII complexes from the milled residue of catalytic converters in a single step
under mild aerobic conditions (80 degC) and in relatively short times compared to
conventional processes1 However the use of relatively expensive starting materials
and Lawessonrsquos reagent as a stoichiometric reagent for the addition of the sulfur
groups to the ligand ultimately reduces the economic and environmental benefits of
using this ligand in the recovery process This undermines to some extent the lsquogreenrsquo
credentials of the process and so other alternative ligands were explored in parallel
In order to overcome this limitation while still exploiting the superior leaching
properties of iodineiodide mixtures to extract palladium from spent TWCs a much
simpler cheaper and commercially available system was sought Contemporaneous
work by our collaborators at the University of Cagliari led by Dr Angela Serpe
demonstrated the impressive ability of organic triiodides OrgI3 where Org+ = 35-
bis(phenylamino)-12-dithiolylium [(PhHN)2DTL]+ 35-bis(morpholino)-12-12-
dithiolylium [Mo2DTL]+ tetrabutylammonium [TBA]+ and tetraphenylphosphonium
[Ph4P]+ in the selective dissolution of palladium from spent TWCs2
In order to explore the metal complexes generated by this system palladium metal
powder was used as a proxy for the milled TWC mixed-metal powder2 The use of
101
iodine in the presence of a simple tetrabutylammonium salt [TBA]I leads to the
dissolution of the palladium metal followed by precipitation of (TBA)2[Pd2I6]2 It was
proposed that this complex generated from this recovery process should be tested as
a potential homogeneous catalyst for the C-H oxidative functionalization reactions of
benzo[h]quinoline and 8-methylquinoline
In analogy to the work of Sanford and co-workers these palladium catalyst systems
should be able to functionalise C-H bonds in the benchmark substrates
(benzo[h]quinoline and 8-methylquinoline) in the presence of air with a broad scope
high efficiency selectivity and functional group tolerance requiring only nitrogen as a
directing atom345 These processes have a very high potential to be applied in organic
transformations for pharmaceutical applications including synthesis of natural
products andor biologically active molecules such as Paclitaxel (Taxol) Naproxen
and Singulair56
Besides C-H activation the complexes prepared will be tested for other Pd-catalysed
reactions namely C-C couplings which are even more widely used in organic
synthesis While the C-H activation described above has been proposed to be
catalysed by PdII species via PdIV or PdIIIPdIII intermediates7 C-C coupling usually
involves Pd0 and PdII intermediates The zerovalent active species are frequently
generated from PdII complexes such as [PdCl2(PPh3)2] This compound is widely used
for C-C couplings with the essential zerovalent intermediate being accessible under
the right reaction conditions
In this Chapter new synthesis routes to catalytically-active Pd(II) complexes are
proposed using simple ligand exchange reactions based on (TBA)2[Pd2I6] with
inexpensive phosphine ligands For example it was hypothesised that treatment of
(TBA)2[Pd2I6] with triphenylphosphine (PPh3) in acetone could lead to the formation of
[PdI2(PPh3)2] an analogue of [PdCl2(PPh3)2] which is widely used as a catalyst in
Suzuki and Sonogashira reactions Success in this approach would allow other
phosphine analogues such as 12-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) and 11-
bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) to be used All the complexes generated from
102
ligand substitution reactions will be tested with different standard substrates for the
Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction
The research described here presents the direct use of simple inexpensive palladium
recovery products in a wide range of important catalytic reactions The generation of
these catalytic species from (TBA)2[Pd2I6] and phosphine ligands will be explored to
improve further the advantages of using (TBA)2[Pd2I6] as a catalyst precursor
Reactions for which these complexes exhibit potential as catalysts will be further
optimised by varying the conditions including temperature time and catalyst loading
Optimised conditions reactions will be scaled up and the isolated yields recorded
411 Aims and objective
The aims of this chapter were as follows
1 Synthesise a bimetallic palladium complexes (TBA)2[Pd2I6] and used it as a
homogeneous catalyst in C-H functionalization reaction of benzo[h]quinoline to
10-alkoxy benzo[h]quinoline and 8-methylquinoline to 8-(methoxymethyl)- and
8-(acetoxymethyl) quinoline in the presence of the oxidant PhI(OAc)2
2 Extending the catalytic studies on the direct use of the phosphine-free recovery
compound (TBA)2[Pd2I6] as a catalyst in the carbon-carbon coupling reaction
3 Synthesise a range of PdI2(phosphine) complexes analogue via a simple ligand
exchange reaction and employed it as a homogeneous catalyst in a Suzuki-
Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of different standard substrates
42 Synthesis and characterisation of Pd(II) complexes derived from a
secondary source
A summary of the proposed palladium complexes to be synthesised and characterised
is provided in Figure 421 The metal recovery product (TBA)2[Pd2I6] (30) was itself
tested as potential homogeneous catalysts for the C-H functionalization and Suzuki-
Miyaura reaction A simple ligand substitution reaction between 30 and different
phosphines generates trans-[PdI2(PPh3)2] (31) [PdI2(dppe)] (32) and [PdI2(dppf)]
(33) which will be used as a catalyst in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction
103
421 Synthesis and characterisation of palladium complexes
Following a modified literature protocol2 the reaction of palladium metal in powder
form with iodine and tetrabutylammonium iodide in acetone led to a dark solution from
which precipitated the black product (TBA)2[Pd2I6] (30) after continuous stirring for 2
hours All solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the product was re-
crystallised by slow diffusion of diethyl ether in a concentrated acetone solution of 30
to give an 86 final yield The infrared and UV-Vis analysis of 30 were in agreement
with those previously reported for this complex2
Figure 421 Proposed ligand substitution reactions
Complex 30 was then used as a starting point for ligand substitution reactions The
first transformation tested was the preparation of trans-[PdI2(PPh3)2] (31) by reaction
of 30 with triphenylphosphine in acetone for 2 hours to obtain a reddish-orange
precipitate (90 yield) The 31P1H NMR spectrum showed a new singlet peak
resonating at 128 ppm without any trace of free triphenylphosphine (-52 ppm) or
triphenylphosphine oxide (250 ppm) The 1H NMR spectra showed multiplets in the
104
aromatic region attributed to the protons in the triphenylphosphine The mass
spectroscopic analysis further confirmed the formulation of the complex In a similar
fashion complex 31 can be prepared by reaction of [PdI2(Me2dazdt)] (28) with
triphenylphosphine in acetone Similar spectroscopic data were obtained also for this
route An attempt to grow crystals of 31 by slow diffusion of diethyl ether into a
concentrated chloroform solution of the complex afforded deep red block crystals
suitable for analysis Preliminary analysis of the unit cell of single crystals of 31 by X-
ray crystallography confirmed the formulation as being the trans-[PdI2(PPh3)2]middotCHCl3
complex which has already been reported in the literature8
The trans geometry of 31 observed is noteworthy Generally nucleophilic substitution
reactions in square planar PdII complexes favour an associative mechanism9
However the unusual formation of trans-[PdI2(PPh3)2] product is likely to be due to the
steric implications caused by the presence of both bulky iodide and phosphine ligands
The large size of the incoming ligand (PPh3) forces the complex to accommodate the
iodide ligands in a trans disposition The possible mechanism for the formation of a
trans product can be hypothesised as ocurring by two different paths (a) through an
associative mechanism the incoming ligand (PPh3) attacks the metal either from
above or below the square planar system to form an intermediate (trigonal-bipyramidal
species) through the elimination of other ligands or (b) the lability of the ligands in the
solution permit the re-organization of the ligands to form a thermodynamically more
stable complex (Figure 422)
Figure 422 Proposed associative mechanism for ligand substitution reaction of the Me2dazdt ligand in [PdI2(Me2dazdt)] (28) by the PPh3 ligand
105
The focus of the studies on the ligand substitution of (TBA)2[Pd2I6] (30) was then
shifted from PPh3 to diphosphines starting with the 12-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane
(dppe) ligand This ligand is known to be an effective ligand in catalytic reactions such
as the allylation of ketones10 The reaction of 30 with dppe in acetone at room
temperature for 2 hours provided [PdI2(dppe)] (32) as an orange precipitate A
dramatic change in the 31P1H NMR peak from -125 ppm (precursor) to 618 ppm
indicated the completion of the reaction 1H NMR analysis revealed signals for the
methylene bridge of dppe resonating at 233 ppm slightly downfield compared to
those of the precursor (209 ppm) along with a multiplet resonance in the aromatic
region which was attributed to the phenyl group In a separate experiment following a
similar procedure the reaction of [PdI2(Me2dazdt)] (28) with dppe in acetone solution
also formed complex 32 The spectroscopic data obtained agreed with those reported
above11
Complexes with ferrocenyl phosphine ligands are extensively used as catalysts for
alkene hydroformylation alkoxycarbonylation and Heck coupling reactions12 Thus 30
was treated with 11-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) in acetone at room
temperature affording the orange bimetallic complex [PdI2(dppf)] (33) The 31P1H
NMR spectrum of the complex showed a new singlet resonance at 242 ppm In the
1H NMR spectrum the two broad resonances observed at 417 and 437 ppm were
attributed to the ferrocenyl protons while the phenyl groups were found to resonate
further downfield in the aromatic region confirming the formation of the complex
All the compounds synthesised in this chapter are derived from the (TBA)2[Pd2I6]
complex (30) which can be obtained from the sustainable leaching of palladium from
a secondary source of palladium The catalytic ability of the complexes in either C-H
activation or Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions are presented in the following
sections
43 C-H functionalisation reactions catalysed by (TBA)2[Pd2I6]
In the previous chapters the excellent catalytic activity of Pd(II) complexes bearing
dithiooxamide and dithiocarbamate ligands towards C-H functionalization reactions
has been demonstrated using milder and safer (50 degC) conditions13 compared to
literature protocols3 The palladium complex bearing Me2dazdt ligand showed the best
106
catalytic activity compared to the other catalysts tested However the ligand is
relatively expensive to prepare and requires the use of Lawessonrsquos reagent As an
alternative to these complexes compound 30 was synthesised from cheaper and safer
precursors and was tested as a potential catalyst for the oxidative C-H bond activation
benzo[h]quinoline (Figure 431)
Figure 431 Oxidative C-H Functionalisation reactions investigated
By employing a similar protocol13 benzo[h]quinoline (diacetoxy)iodobenzene
[PhI(OAc)2] and (TBA)2[Pd2I6] (30) were dissolved in the appropriate solvent Small
aliquots were removed and analysed by 1H NMR spectroscopy in order to determine
the product yields The alkoxybenzobenzo[h]quinoline product yield was obtained by
comparing the integration of resonances of H-2 (930 ppm) and H-10 protons (901
ppm) of benzo[h]quinoline with the diagnostic resonance of methoxy (CH3) ethoxy
(CH2CH3) and trifluoroethoxy (CH2CF3) groups which appeared at 419 163 and
445 and 474 ppm respectively in the alkoxy products In a similar fashion the yield
of 8-(methoxymethyl)quinoline was determined by comparing the integration of methyl
resonances (282 ppm) of 8-methylquinoline with the resonances of methylene (519
ppm) and methoxy group (357 ppm) in the product Three repeat experiments were
conducted and an average value calculated
431 Preliminary catalytic studies
Preliminary catalytic studies for the alkoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline catalysed by 30
were conducted by employing a standard literature protocol used in our earlier work13
(1-2 mol catalyst loading 100 degC 2h) The experiments consisted of dissolution of
the substrate PhI(OAc)2 and 30 in different alcohols to produce a variety of alkyl-aryl
ethers Table 431 shows that using 1 mol catalyst loading at 100 degC in methanol
107
and trifluoroethanol yields of 94 and 93 can be obtained respectively However
under the same conditions low conversions to 10-ethoxybenzo[h]quinoline (43) and
10-isopropoxybenzo[h]quinoline (52) were observed and these reactions required
a two-fold increase (2 mol) in catalyst loading to provide a better product yield This
finding indicates that 30 is a useful catalyst in the C-H functionalization of
benzo[h]quinoline at high temperatures even over short reaction times

Another interesting observation is the formation of a black precipitate at the bottom of
the reaction vials after 2 hours of reaction at 100 degC for all substrates except for the
trifluoroethanol reaction mixture This black precipitate was centrifuged at 6400 rpm
for 15 minutes and the supernatant removed The resulting black material was washed
with methanol (3 x 10 mL) followed by centrifugation until the washings were clear
The precipitate was dried under vacuum overnight Attempts to dissolve the black
precipitate using various solvents (MeOH EtOH acetone or toluene) proved
unsuccessful However the precipitate could be suspended in acetonitrile allowing
the preparation of samples for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis
All the black precipitates collected from the C-H activation reactions of
benzo[h]quinoline in methanol ethanol and mixtures of iso-propanol were analysed by
TEM and revealed the formation of small nanoparticles (Figure 432) Average
108
diameters of 160 plusmn 05 nm (methanol) and 154 plusmn 03 nm (ethanol) were recorded
based on the measurement of over 50 nanoparticles The TEM analysis of the solid
obtained from the mixture of isopropanolacetic acid showed palladium nanoparticles
with an average size of 145 plusmn 06 nm The palladium nanoparticles formed during the
reaction could be influenced by the presence of the solvent which could help promote
the reduction of the PdII complex to Pd014
Figure 432 TEM images of palladium nanoparticles formed in A) MeOH B) EtOH C) iPrOH
It is not immediately clear why there is no formation of nanoparticles in the
trifluoroethanol reaction mixture A possible explanation might be due to the presence
of the electron-withdrawing fluorine groups in the solvent which stabilises the
palladium(II) complex effectively leading to no precipitate at high temperature (100
degC) even after performing the reaction for a week
While palladium nanoparticles catalyse Suzuki coupling reactions they are known to
be inactive in C-H oxidative functionalisation reactions as these transformations need
a Pd(II)-Pd(IV) manifold that is not available for nanoparticles Thus the presence of
these nanoparticles led us to re-assess the protocol used by Sanford3 which uses
Pd(OAc)2 as a catalyst in the C-H activation of benzo[h]quinoline Table 432 shows
the catalytic conditions and yield of substrates reported by Sanford and co-workers for
the methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline The results clearly demonstrate that a
quantitative yield (95) of the product was obtained after 22 hours reaction at 100 degC
However shorter reaction times and milder conditions were not explored in this
original work
109
Table 432 Literature conditions3 and yields for the alkoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline using Pd(OAc)2
catalyst and PhI(OAc)2 as sacrificial oxidant at 100 degC
An initial assessment was conducted by treating benzo[h]quinoline
(diacetoxy)iodobenzene with 11 mol of [Pd(OAc)2] in MeOH at a lower temperature
(50 degC) over various timeframes (1 2 5 and 22 h) No black precipitate was observed
even after 22 hours under these conditions The solvent in the reaction mixture was
removed under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in CDCl3 for 1H NMR
analysis to calculate the product yield In Table 433 a clear trend of increase in yield
as the reaction is monitored for longer times can be seen However a satisfactory
conversion (87) is only achieved after 22 hours of reaction

We further examined the effect of high temperature (100 degC) on the reaction and found
an excellent yield (91) of product had formed after just 1 hour of reaction It appears
that Sanford and co-workers did not explore shorter reaction times but it seems that
no significant improvement in product yield is observed on extending the reaction time

reaction This solid was isolated and analysed by TEM (Figure 433) The images
show the formation of Pd nanoparticles with an average diameter of 257 plusmn 11 nm
(based on 50 nanoparticles) The findings corroborate the suggestion by Wilkinson
and co-workers15 that Pd(OAc)2 dissolved in alcohols and heated decomposes to
palladium metal The formation of palladium nanoparticles was a little unexpected for
phosphine-free conditions as the formation of palladium nanoparticles is often
associated with the oxidation of any phosphine present16
Figure 433 TEM images of Pd nanoparticles formed employing Sanfordrsquos conditions (22 h reaction at 100 degC)
Further experiments were carried out to investigate the cause of the formation of the
palladium nanoparticles using the standard literature protocol for C-H
functionalization Three separate control experiments were conducted using Sanfordrsquos
protocol (100 degC 22 h 11 mol of Pd(OAc)2)3 In the first control experiment
benzo[h]quinoline (the substrate) was treated with Pd(OAc)2 in methanol to produce a
dark brown solution without the formation of any black precipitate In the second
control experiment Pd(OAc)2 was treated with PhI(OAc)2 (the sacrificial oxidant) in
methanol producing a black precipitate after completion of the reaction This
precipitate was analysed by TEM to reveal the formation of very small nanoparticles
with an average diameter of 116 plusmn 03 nm (Figure 434)
Figure 434 TEM images of palladium nanoparticles formed after Pd(OAc)2 was treated with the sacrificial oxidant PhI(OAc)2 in methanol

The final control experiment was conducted by heating the catalyst Pd(OAc)2 alone in
methanol at 100 degC for 22 hours Palladium nanoparticles were again obtained as
confirmed by the TEM images in Figure 435 The average diameter of the
nanoparticles was 146 plusmn 05 nm based on over 50 nanoparticles These findings
are corroborated by the observations of Reetz and Westermann that Pd(OAc)2 is
reduced on heating at 100 degC after 3 hours in a polar propylene carbonate solvent
system to form palladium colloidal nanoparticles with an average diameter of 8-10
nm17
Figure 435 TEM images of Pd nanoparticles resulting from heating Pd(OAc)2 in methanol at 100 degC for 22 hours
In summary this proved that Pd(OAc)2 can be reduced to palladium nanoparticles in
the presence of a sacrificial oxidant in an alcohol solvent at high temperature14 There
have been no previous reports of the potential for the sacrificial oxidant to promote the
reduction of palladium complexes However heating Pd(OAc)2 in alcohol solution is
known to lead to nanoparticle formation15
In general C-H functionalization is believed to proceed via a catalytic cycle involving
PdIIPdIV species18 Thus further investigation was required to prove that the C-H
functionalization of benzo[h]quinoline is not catalysed by zerovalent palladium
nanoparticles Evidence for this was obtained by heating Pd(OAc)2 in methanol at
100 degC for 2 hours forming nanoparticles as described above Then
benzo[h]quinoline and PhI(OAc)2 were added directly to the reaction mixture and the
heating continued for another 22 hours At the end of the reaction a black precipitate
remained but no conversion of benzo[h]quinoline to any products was detected
Therefore it can be assumed that the methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline using
the Sanford literature protocol is due to the fraction of Pd(OAc)2 that survives
112
the reduction to nanoparticles in the first few minutes or hours of the reaction
These findings also provide some support for the conceptual premise that the
C-H functionalization can be conducted under milder conditions than those
previously proposed in the literature
432 C-H functionalization of benzo[h]quinoline employing (TBA)2[Pd2I6] as a
catalyst
In the previous section it was shown that 10-methoxybenzo[h]quinoline could be
successfully formed from benzo[h]quinolone using (TBA)2[Pd2I6] or Pd(OAc)2 as a
catalyst in methanol However both catalytic systems showed the reduction of the
Pd(II) to Pd(0) at high temperatures This result prompted us to employ milder reaction
conditions using a lower temperature (50 degC) to explore functionalisation with
different alcohols and to vary the catalyst loading (1-2 mol )
Initially the reaction of 1 mol (TBA)2[Pd2I6] benzo[h]quinoline and [PhI(OAc)2] was
investigated in different alcohols at 50 degC Figure 436 shows a significant increase in
10-methoxybenzo[h]quinoline and 10-trifluoroethoxybenzo[h]quinoline yield over
extended reaction times Excellent yields (gt 90) of both products were obtained after
24 hours of reaction Meanwhile moderate yields (lt 50) were obtained for the
reactions employing ethanol and a mixture of isopropanol and acetic acid as solvents
These findings might be linked to the steric features of the reagent used For example
methanol has a higher polarity and less steric bulk than ethanol which could result in
higher product yield

A different set of conditions was then tested with only a single variable being changed
To start the catalyst loading was doubled Data in Figure 437 show how the increase
of the catalyst loading (to 2 mol) dramatically enhances the yields of the desired
products (gt 95) allowing shorter reaction times (2 h) to be used The exception to
this was for 10-isopropoxybenzo[h]quinoline (68) which still showed a steady
increase in conversion to 10-isopropoxybenzo[h]quinoline (82) after 24 hours

Figure 437 Summary of catalytic results for Reaction A Catalyst = 30 (2 mol) oxidant = PhI(OAc)2 T = 50 degC
Based on these catalytic experiments the standard operating conditions (SOCPd2I6)
were set to 2 mol catalyst loading at 50 degC for 2 hours Under these conditions
catalyst 30 successfully functionalised benzo[h]quinoline with various functional
groups (OMe OEt O-iPr and OCH2CH3) at the C-10 position in essentially
quantitative yield (gt 95) with the exception of 10-isopropoxybenzo[h]quinoline
An experiment to determine the isolated yield for the methoxylation of
benzo[h]quinoline was conducted employing SOCPd2I6 A brown oil was collected after
removal of all solvent by rotary evaporation A flash column was used to purify the
mixture to yield 10-methoxybenzo[h]quinoline employing 32 vv ethyl acetate to n-
hexane as an eluent A pale-yellow solid was isolated 97 which was in agreement
with the conversion determined by the 1H NMR integration method (98)
433 C-H functionalisation of 8-methylquinoline
Encouraged by the successful results obtained for the alkoxylation of
benzo[h]quinoline the catalytic reaction was extended to the synthesis of
methoxymethyl- and acetoxymethylquinoline The transformation proposed is the

In order to investigate Reaction B a methanolic solution of 8-methylquinoline
PhI(OAc)2 and 30 (1-2 mol) were stirred and heated at high temperature (100 degC) in
a reaction vial for 2 hours As shown in Table 434 a good yield of 8-
(methoxymethyl)quinoline (gt 80) was obtained with a slight difference (7) in
percentage yield when the catalyst loading was varied As expected heating the Pd(II)
complex in an alcohol solvent promoted the reduction to Pd(0) nanoparticles in the
form of a black precipitate at the bottom of the vials after completion of the reactions

Continuing our efforts to develop greener synthetic pathways and increasing the
efficiency of the desired C-H functionalizations an energy saving approach was
adopted by lowering the temperature of the reactions Surprisingly the reaction of 8-
(methoxymethyl)quinoline with 1 mol of catalyst PhI(OAc)2 in methanol at 50 degC for
2 hours provided an even better conversion to 8-(methoxymethyl)quinoline (gt 96)
compared to the yield obtained at a 100 degC (Table 435) This result is comparable
116
with the performance of the catalyst [PdI2(Me2dazdt)] (28) in the methoxylation of 8-
methylquinoline which gave 95 yield under the same reaction set up Moreover it
should be noted that this procedure showed a far better yield in a shorter reaction time
(2 h) at a lower temperature (50 degC) compared to the work by Sanford and co-workers3
(80 yield 19 mol Pd(OAc)2 100degC 18 h) Doubling the catalyst loading under the
same reaction conditions provided complete conversion to the product (99)
The lower conversion at a higher temperature may be explained by the fact that the
palladium nanoparticles (formed at higher temperatures) agglomerate to form black
sediment that undermines the catalytic performance19 In conclusion the optimum
reaction conditions for the methoxylation of 8-methylquinoline were set at 1 mol
catalyst loading 2 hours of reaction at 50 degC 1H NMR analysis of the percentage yield
was verified by conducting a large-scale catalytic reaction to estimate the isolated
yield 8-methylquinoline (1275 mg) PhI(OAc)2 (3099 mg) and 1 mol of 30 were
mixed in methanol and stirred for 2 hours at 50 degC The solvent was removed under
reduced pressure and the resultant oil was dissolved in a mixture of hexane and ethyl
acetate (91 vv) and purified using a simple flash column to provide 14520 mg (94)
of 8-(methoxymethyl)quinoline as a yellow oil This result compared well with the yield
of 96 determined by the 1H NMR spectroscopic method

The acetoxylation of 8-methylquinoline was conducted by dissolving the substrate
PhI(OAc)2 and 30 in acetonitrile By shortening the reaction time to 2 hours and kept
117
all the parameter employed by Sanford3 unchanged (1 mol catalyst 100 degC) only
61 product yield was obtained compared to 88 (22 h) reported in the literature By
doubling the catalyst amount a quantitative yield (83) of 8-(acetoxymethyl)quinoline
was recorded which is indicated the scope of catalyst (Table 436)

The effect of lowering the temperature to 50 degC was investigated and revealed
moderate performances of 30 compared to the reactions performed at higher
temperature (100 degC) For instance 1 mol of the catalyst at 100 degC gave a 61
product yield in 2 hours a result that can only be achieved after 6 hours at 50 degC
Furthermore it was found that the high yield of 8-(acetoxymethyl)quinoline (85)
afforded by the model reaction can only be achieved in 24 hours using 30 (2 mol)
as a catalyst (Table 437) A possible explanation of these findings might be due to
the presence of additional benzylic hydrogen atoms in the substrate This possibly
prevents further C-H functionalization of the product due to the steric hindrance at the
more substituted benzylic position3

434 Unsuccessful attempts at C-H functionalisation of other substrates
It was then attempted to extend the scope of the studies to the methoxylation of
different substrates such as benzylamine (A) N-Benzylmethylamine (B) and 2-
methylphenol (C) The catalytic reactions were conducted by treating the relevant
substrate in the presence of PhI(OAc)2 and 30 in a methanolic solution (1-2 mol
catalyst 2 - 24hr 50 - 100 degC) However none of the anticipated products (2-
methoxybenzylamine 2-methoxy-N-methylbenzylamine or 2-methoxymethyl-phenol)
was detected (Figure 439) This is likely to be due to a failure to form the palladacycle
under these conditions
Figure 439 Unsuccessful C-H functionalization reactions
44 Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction
The success of the C-H activation reactions prompted us to employ (TBA)2[Pd2I6] (30)
in other palladium-catalysed reactions such as the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction This
reaction involves the cross-coupling of aryl-halides with aryl- or vinyl-boronic acids in
the presence of a palladium catalyst and a base (Equation 3)20 The commercial
palladium(II) catalysts such as Pd(OAc)2 21
and [PdCl2(PPh3)2]22 have proved to be
119
very effective in forming the required carbon-carbon bond through the interconversion
of Pd0 and PdII intermediates Generally the in situ reduction of Pd(II) to Pd(0) can be
accomplished by the addition of phosphine ligands (phosphine-assisted)2223 Under
phosphine-free reactions the palladium(II) reduction has been reported in the
presence of olefins2425 amine bases26 solvents27 or tetrabutylammonium salts28
Equation 3 Generic scheme for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction (R1 and R2 aryl vinyl X Br Cl I Y OH O-R)
As mentioned previously (Section 42) the ligand exchange reaction of 30 with
phosphine ligands (PPh3 dppe dppf) leads to the formation of the Pd(II) complexes
[PdI2(PPh3)2] (31) [PdI2(dppe)] (32) and [PdI2(dppf)] (33) which are closely related to
[PdCl2(PPh3)2] which is known as a reliable air-stable precursor to the zerovalent
palladium active species29 Thus these complexes offer a wide selection of potential
recovery-derived catalysts to be tested in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction
In this chapter phosphine-modified (31 32 and 33) and phosphine-free (30)
complexes are investigated in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction If successful this would
be significant in showing the direct use of a simple inexpensive palladium recovery
product in an industrially important catalytic reaction
441 Catalysis reaction set up
The substrates chosen for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction are aryl halides
and phenylboronic acid This combination is the most commonly used for the
production of biaryls as it uses (i) mild reaction conditions (ii) commercially available
stable and low toxicity boronic acid compounds and (iii) allows an extensive choice of
substrates with numerous functional groups30 The reactivity of the aryl halide depends
on the nature of the halides I gt Br gt Cl Thus the substrates to be tested will be
focused on aryl iodide (4-iodoanisole) and aryl bromide (4-bromoanisole 4-
bromotoluene and 4-bromonitrobenzene) compounds The most common and efficient
base is K2CO3 and this will be employed to produce hydroxides which promote the
formation of the tetrahedral boronate anion required for the transmetallation step31
120
The solvent is a significant component of the reaction because it must be able to
dissolve the reactants and the base Since our research approach has been to focus
on performing reactions under green conditions the solvent chosen was ethanol and
the temperature of the reaction was set below the boiling point of the solvent (75 degC)
to minimise the potential dangers related to pressure build-up in the vial and to
decrease the energy consumption Other parameters such as the duration of the
catalytic test (30-120 min) and catalyst loading (05 mol) were optimised to
determine standard operating conditions for the proposed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-
coupling reaction
The reaction was conducted with a slight modification of the literature protocol32 In
general aryl halides phenylboronic acid potassium carbonate and the selected
palladium catalysts were mixed in a vial containing ethanol The reaction mixture was
heated and vigorously stirred and the progress was monitored by 1H NMR
spectroscopy After the completion of the reaction the biphenyl product was separated
by filtration and the reaction mixture was extracted with water and dichloromethane
The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and then evaporated under
reduced pressure The products can be purified by flash column chromatography
using ethyl acetate-n-hexane (140) if necessary
The biphenyl product yields were determined using the 1H NMR integration method
For the reactions of 4-bromoanisole and 4-iodoanisole the integration of their methyl
resonances (378 ppm for both) was compared to those of the diagnostic resonance
of the methoxy moiety (386 ppm)33 in the 4-methoxybiphenyl product The yield of 4-
methylbiphenyl was determined by comparing the integration of the methyl
resonances of 4-bromotoulene (230 ppm) with the resonances of the methyl group
(238 ppm)34 in the product Finally the comparison of phenyl resonances of 1-bromo-
4-nitrobenzene (813 ppm) and 4-nitrobiphenyl (828 ppm)35 determined the yields of
the last reaction Three repeat experiments were conducted to give an average
reading

442 Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction with different palladium catalysts
4421 Coupling of aryl iodides with phenylboronic acid
The first cross-coupling transformation studied was the coupling of 4-iodoanisole with
phenylboronic acid using phosphine-modified complexes in the presence of K2CO3 as
a base at 75 degC (Figure 441) The reaction was stirred for a pre-determined amount
of time (30 60 and 90 min) and the white precipitate of 4-methoxybiphenyl produced
was dissolved with the appropriate amount of deuterated chloroform and analysed by
1H NMR spectroscopy36
The choice of aryl iodide as substrate was due to iodides being the best halide leaving
group (iodide gt bromide gt chloride)37 It was decided to focus attention on the use of
trans-[PdI2(PPh3)2] (31) [PdI2(dppf)] (32) and [PdI2(dppe)] (33) complexes derived via
ligand exchange reactions as potential homogeneous catalysts for carbon-carbon
coupling reactions
Figure 441 Coupling of 4-iodoanisole with phenylboronic acid
From the results in Table 441 it can be seen that 05 mol of catalyst loading can
successfully be used to convert the reactants to the product in high yields (gt 90)
within 60 min in ethanol at 75 degC There is limited literature on [PdI2(phosphine)]
complexes in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions As reported previously38
trans-[PdI2(PPh3)2] is actually generated as a minor product from the in situ reaction
of [Pd(PPh3)4] with 4-iodotoluene phenylboronic acid and Na2CO3 in a mixture of
THFH2O Using 05 mol trans-[PdI2(PPh3)2] in the presence of excess phosphine
only generated 46 of product from the reaction of 4-iodotoluene with phenylboronic
acid in DMF solution This finding might relate to the inability of the palladium iodide
intermediate to efficiently enter the catalytic cycle in the presence of excess PPh338

As far as we are aware there is no literature reporting the use of [PdI2(dppf)] (32) and
[PdI2(dppe)] (33) as catalysts in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction However the chloride
analogue [PdCl2(dppf)] was reported to effectively catalyse the preparation of aryl
boronic esters from aryl halides38 Naghipour and co-workers reported that
[PdBr2(dppe)] was an effective catalyst for the C-C coupling of 4-iodoanisole with
phenylboronic acid in the presence of polyethene glycol (PEG) as a solvent with 85
of product obtained after 75 min of reaction at 90 degC36
To offer a more in-depth comparison regarding catalytic activity the commonly-used
phosphine-based catalyst [PdCl2(PPh3)2] was employed to benchmark the coupling
of 4-iodoanisole with phenylboronic acid under the same reaction conditions (05 mol
catalyst loading 30 and 60 min 75 degC) in ethanol The formation of a Pd(0) complex
by reduction of [PdCl2(PPh3)2] can be achieved on addition of a base to form
[PdCl(OH)(PPh3)2] as established by Grushin and Alper39 The results show 91 and
95 yields of 4-methoxybiphenyl after 30 and 60 min of reaction respectively As a
comparison to [PdCl2(PPh3)2] [PdI2(PPh3)2] (31) offers very similar catalytic activity in
the transformation whereas slightly lower and higher conversions were obtained for
[PdI2(dppe)] (33) and [PdI2(dppf)] (32) within 60 minutes Generally the phosphine-
based palladium catalyst tested successfully converted 4-iodoanisole to 4-
methoxybiphenyl in a high yield
Encouraged by these results it was decided to focus attention on the direct use of the
phosphine-free recovery compound (TBA)2[Pd2I6] (30) as a catalyst in the carbon-
carbon coupling reaction Initially the catalytic activity of 30 towards the cross-coupling
reaction of 4-iodoanisole with phenylboronic acid was investigated using a 1 mol
123
catalyst loading in a phosphine-free environment It was found that the coupled
product (4-methoxybiphenyl) was obtained in a quantitative 1H NMR spectroscopic
yield (99) after 60 min This result suggests that the solvent or tetrabutylammonium
salts are able to generate the required zerovalent palladium species in the absence of
phosphine No nanoparticles were observed under the conditions tested
Encouraged by this result the reaction was optimised regarding catalyst loading and
reaction temperature By lowering the loading of 30 to 05 mol and using shorter
reaction time (30 min) without changing other parameters a quantitative yield (99)
of the desired product was obtained A similar yield of 4-methoxybiphenyl was
observed when the reaction time was prolonged for a further 30 min (Figure 442) As
a comparison to [PdCl2(PPh3)2] 30 offers a slightly higher catalytic activity in the
transformation which might relate to the presence of tetrabutylammonium iodide
(TBAI) in the reaction mixture that acts as a phase transfer agent to facilitate the
reaction This hypothesis was supported by a reports of TBAI40 tetrabutylammonium
bromide (TBAB)414243 and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF)40 being used as
phase transfer agents to enhance the yield of biaryl products in Suzuki Miyaura cross-
coupling reactions

4-iodoanisole phenylboronic acid 30 and K2CO3 in ethanol were heated (75 degC) and
stirred for 30 min The white precipitate obtained was purified by flash column
chromatography using ethyl acetate and n-hexane (140) to yield 95 (175 mg) of 4-
methoxybiphenyl a slightly lower value than the yield obtained by 1H NMR integration
(99) probably due to human error during the purification process In conclusion the
use of 30 in the coupling of 4-iodoanisole with phenylboronic acid has several
advantages including a simple and environmentally (phosphine-free) procedure short
reaction time (30 min) excellent yield (99) and mild conditions (75degC - below the
boiling point of ethanol)
4422 Coupling of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid
The scope of the investigation was broadened by examining the coupling reaction of
an aryl-bromide (4-bromoanisole) with phenylboronic acid using the same approach
(05 mol catalyst loading 30 60 90 min 75 degC) in ethanol (Figure 443) The
phosphine-free approach was employed using 30 as a catalyst in the presence of
K2CO3 in ethanol
Figure 443 Coupling of 4-bromoanisole with phenylboronic acid
As shown in Figure 444 using 05 mol of 30 a near-quantitative yield (96 ) of 4-
methoxybiphenyl was observed after 30 min A slight increase in yield of the product
was obtained as the reaction time was extended for another 60 min A comparable
catalytic activity in the same coupling reaction was obtained using [PdCl2(PPh3)2]
without the presence of excess triphenylphosphine Although phosphine ligands can
stabilise palladium and enhance the catalytic activity of C-C coupling reactions the
simplest and cheapest palladium catalyst is still the phosphine-free approach17 Thus
the fact that 30 is obtained directly from the palladium recovery process could offer a
significant advantage over commercially-available complexes such as [PdCl2(PPh3)2]
125
In addition the absence of phosphine contaminants makes the proposed protocol
even more advantageous
The reactivity of trans-[PdI2(PPh3)2] (31) [PdI2(dppe)] (32) and [PdI2(dppf)] (33) was
examined towards the coupling reaction of an aryl bromide (4-bromoanisole) with
phenylboronic acid in ethanol Using the same approach [PdI2(dppf)] (33) gave a
slightly lower yield (93) compared to phosphine-free approach (98) after 90 min of
reaction Good (78) and moderate (55) yields of the product were observed by
employing 31 and 32 as a catalyst after 90 min of reaction (Figure 445) A similar
pattern of catalytic data was observed after 120 and 150 min It seems that the less
reactive aryl bromide (compared to aryl iodides) affects the catalytic performance of
catalysts 31 and 32 substantially This finding was supported by the literature that
reports low (28) and very poor (2) yields in the reaction of aryl bromides with
phenylboronic acid when catalysed by Pd(OAc)2 in the presence of excess dppf and
dppe respectively in a mixture of propan-1-ol and water38

The large-scale cross-coupling of 4-bromoanisole (181 mg) with phenylboronic acid
(122 mg) was carried out Using 05 mol of 30 in the presence of K2CO3 as a base
the reaction was heated (75 degC) and stirred in ethanol for 30 min The white precipitate
obtained after removal of solvent under reduced pressure was purified using flash

4423 Effect of electron-donating and withdrawing substituents on the reaction
of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid
The next experiments were devoted to investigating the effect of aryl bromides bearing
electron-donating (4-bromotoluene) or electron-withdrawing (4-bromonitrobenzene)
groups in a cross-coupling reaction with phenylboronic acid to form the desired biaryl
products employing the same protocol used previously (05 mol catalyst loading 30-
120 min 75 degC) The bimetallic palladium system (30) was indeed very efficient toward
these Suzuki coupling reactions and displayed remarkable yield of products (gt 97)
for both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents after only 30 min
Similar catalytic activity was observed for [PdCl2(PPh3)2] which gave yields of 98
and 99 for 4-methoxybiphenyl and 4-nitrobiphenyl respectively after 60 min (Table
442) This result indicated that the electronic properties of the functional groups on
the benzene ring have a limited impact on the catalytic activity of 30

methoxybiphenyl) for the different catalysts are shown in Figure 446 Using 05 mol
catalyst loading a slightly lower yield of the product from the reactions with phosphine-
based catalysts was observed compared to the phosphine-free system (30) after 60
min of reaction This might be explained by the presence of the electron-donating
group on the benzene ring leading to a slower oxidative addition step in the reaction44

Finally the coupling reaction between 4-bromonitrobenzene (electron withdrawing)
with phenylboronic acid was investigated Surprisingly the 4-nitrobiphenyl product
was obtained in quantitative yield (gt 99) for all the catalysts in the study over a short
reaction time (30 min) This finding supports the suggestion that the electron
withdrawing group facilitates the rate-limiting oxidative addition step which leads to a
higher yield of the desired biaryl product45 In general the palladium-based phosphine
catalysts showed decent activity for substrates with electron-withdrawing groups
compared to electron-donating groups

45 Conclusion
This chapter describes an alternative way to recover Pd metals from TWC waste using
iodine with a simpler cheaper and commercially available tetrabutylammonium iodide
This compares well to the use of the Me2dazdtmiddot2I2 system which requires relatively
expensive starting materials to prepare The bimetallic palladium complex
(TBA)2[Pd2I6] (30) obtained from the leaching process was directly used as a
homogeneous catalyst in the C-H activation of benzo[h]quinoline and 8-
methylquinoline A quantitative yield in the alkoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline and
methoxy- and acetoxylation of 8-methylquinoline was obtained at low temperatures
(50 degC) It was also observed that heating (TBA)2[Pd2I6] at 100 degC in alcoholic solvents
leads to the reduction of Pd(II) to Pd(0) and the formation of nanoparticles Non-

nanoparticulate zerovalent palladium species were generated from the same
precursor leading to a high catalytic activity in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling
reaction between aryl halides and phenylboronic acid to produce biaryl compounds in
excellent yield
The development of a new synthetic route to synthesis Pd(II) complexes via simple
ligand exchange reactions of (TBA)2[Pd2I6] with inexpensive phosphine ligands such
as PPh3 dppe and dppf allowed the generation of trans-[PdI2(PPh3)2] [PdI2(dppe)]
and [PdI2(dppf)2] complexes respectively These complexes showed moderate to high
catalytic activity in various standard Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions In
summary (TBA)2[Pd2I6] can be recognised as a simple versatile and multifunctional
compound obtained from secondary sources which shows high activity in the
homogeneous palladium-based catalysis of C-H functionalization and Suzuki-Miyaura
cross-coupling reactions

5 Heterogenised molecular Pd(II) catalysts for C-H functionalisation
51 Background and significance
Homogeneous palladium complexes bearing dithiocarbamate ligands have proved to
be effective catalysts for the C-H functionalization reaction of benzo[h]quinoline and
8-methylquinoline under mild and safe conditions over short reaction times (see
Chapter 3)1 However homogeneous catalysis encounters a major drawback in terms
of difficult or expensive recovery processes to separate the catalyst from the product2
As an alternative heterogeneous catalysis generally offers a more reliable cheaper
and straightforward way to separate the catalyst from the reaction mixture for example
through centrifugation or filtration However the often lower activity of heterogeneous
catalysts and the difficulty of surface characterisation and the poorly understood
mechanisms of reaction represent a disadvantage3
The development of a catalytic system with a combination of the properties of both
homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis systems can be achieved by the
immobilisation of homogeneous catalysts with excellent catalytic activities on the
surface of solid supports4 The immobilisation of active catalysts usually consisting of
metal complexes is often achieved using an organic linker capable of covalently
bonding to the surface of the solid support5 This approach exploits the high catalytic
activity of the homogeneous catalyst while taking advantage of the easy recovery of
an heterogeneous catalyst6-7
In this chapter a new synthetic method for functionalising nanostructures is proposed
in which novel dithiocarbamate salts are obtained by treating two different silyl amine
precursors with carbon disulfide Various spectroscopic techniques will be used to
confirm the formulation of the dithiocarbamate salts As part of our continued interest
in homogenous palladium-based catalysis two simple heteroleptic dithiocarbamate
palladium complexes are reported and investigated structurally using X-ray
crystallography To provide a comparison to our previous work (see Chapter 3) these
palladium(II) complexes are tested in catalyic reactions for the C-H functionalization
of benzo[h]quinoline and 8-methylquinoline By virtue of the silyl moieties attached
these new complexes will be grafted onto the surface of silica (SiO2) and silica-coated
iron-oxide (SiO2Fe3O4) nanoparticles Heterogenisation will be achieved by reaction
133
with the Si-OH binding sites on the silica surface This material will be characterized
using typical physiochemical methods such as infrared (IR) spectroscopy
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and
inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES)
Successful surface functionalisation will be followed by testing in the C-H activation of
benzo[h]quinoline The difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous
catalytic results will be discussed in detail in this chapter This part of the work was
conducted with the help of an MRes student Kuang Wen Chan
511 Aims and objectives
The aims of this chapter were as follows
1 Synthesise heteroleptic palladium complexes bearing dithiocarbamate ligands
and used it as a homogeneous catalyst in C-H functionalization reaction of
benzo[h]quinoline to 10-methoxybenzo[h]quinoline in the presence of the
oxidant PhI(OAc)2
2 Covalently immobilise the heteroleptic palladium complexes onto the surface of
SiO2 and SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles This material will be used as a
heterogeneous catalyst in the C-H activation of benzo[h]quinoline
52 Synthesis and characterisation of palladium dithiocarbamate complexes
An efficient route to synthesise the novel dithiocarbamate salts
(MeO)3SiCH2CH2CH2(Me)NCS2K (34) and (MeO)3SiCH2CH2CH22NCS2K (35) and
their heteroleptic dithiocarbamate palladium complexes
[(MeO)3SiCH2CH2CH2(Me)NCS2Pd(PPh3)2]PF6 (36) and
[(MeO)3SiCH2CH2CH22NCS2Pd(PPh3)2]PF6 (37) is described A summary of the
synthetic routes is shown in Figure 521
134
Figure 521 Synthesis of ligands and their palladium dithiocarbamate complexes
521 Synthesis of dithiocarbamate ligands
The commercially available precursors 3-trimethoxysilylpropylmethylamine and
bis(trimethoxysilylpropyl)amine were treated with K2CO3 in acetonitrile for 10 min
before the addition of CS2 The reaction mixtures were stirred for another 2 hours at
room temperature to yield (MeO)3SiCH2CH2CH2(Me)NCS2K (34) and
(MeO)3SiCH2CH2CH22NCS2K (35) respectively as pale yellow solids
Various analytical techniques were employed to confirm the formations of 34 and 35
The most noticeable evidence in the 1H NMR spectrum was the disappearance of the
diagnostic resonances of the secondary amine protons for both precursors at
approximately 33 ppm The retention of the propyl chain in 34 was indicated by a
significant shift of chemical resonances at 064 177 and 402 ppm compared to the
same features in the precursor (at 047 140 and 238 ppm) Furthermore new singlet
resonances at 347 ppm and 355 ppm confirmed the presence of the methyl and
trimethoxy (O-CH3) groups respectively
The 1H NMR spectrum for 35 was dominated by the multiplet resonances of the propyl
chains at 064 183 and 396 ppm (in the precursor 060 154 and 255 ppm)
alongside a singlet resonance at 358 ppm attributed to the trimethoxy (O-CH3)
protons Further characterisation was possible by 13C1H NMR spectroscopy due to
the high solubility of both compounds showing in particular the downfield resonances
at 2109 ppm which were attributed to the CS2 units for both dithiocarbamate salts
135
The solid-state infrared spectrum revealed typical features for dithiocarbamate salts
(ν(C-N) ν(NC=S) and ν(C-S)) for 34 (1461 1267 and 963 cm-1) and 35 (1467 1250 and 965
cm-1) The overall formulation for 34 and 35 was further confirmed by mass
spectrometry which showed molecular ions at mz 268 and mz 416 respectively in
conjunction with good agreement of elemental analysis values
522 Synthesis of Pd(II) complexes bearing dithiocarbamate ligands
The pale-yellow dithiocarbamate salts (34 and 35) were stirred in methanol for 10
minutes To this solution was added a chloroform solution of cis-[PdCl2(PPh3)2]
followed by a methanolic solution of ammonium hexafluorophosphate The reaction
mixtures were heated at reflux for 6 hours and the solvent then removed under
reduced pressure The residues were dissolved in the minimum amount of chloroform
and filtered through Celite and the solvent again removed using a rotary evaporator
Diethyl ether was added to precipitate
[(MeO)3SiCH2CH2CH2(Me)NCS2Pd(PPh3)2]PF6 (36) and
[(MeO)3SiCH2CH2CH22NCS2Pd(PPh3)2]PF6 (37) respectively as pale yellow
products
1H NMR analysis of complex 36 showed the presence of methylene protons resonating
at new chemical shifts (059 171 and 363 ppm) compared to the precursor (064
176 and 402 ppm) In addition the singlet resonances for the methyl and trimethoxy
groups were observed at 321 ppm and 355 ppm respectively alongside the multiplet
aromatic peaks for the coordinated triphenylphosphine at 732 to 747 ppm For
complex 37 a diagnostic singlet resonance attributed to the trimethoxy group was
observed at 352 ppm alongside the multiplet resonances for the methylene protons
(053 168 and 355 ppm) Furthermore the 13C1H NMR spectra revealed that the
resonances for the CS2 units had shifted slightly upfield from 211 ppm to 203 ppm in
both complexes
Analysis by 31P1H NMR spectroscopy confirmed the retention of the
triphenyphosphine ligands For complex 36 the phosphorus nuclei signals were
observed as a pair of doublets at 303 and 306 ppm with a mutual coupling of 350
Hz suggesting a cis-arrangement for the two phosphine ligands In the case of
complex 37 a singlet resonance at 305 ppm was observed due to the chemically
equivalent phosphorus atoms indicating a symmetrical structure
136
Similar IR characteristics were displayed for both complexes particularly the typical
features of dithiocarbamate ligands In addition the vibrational modes associated with
the phenyl rings on the phosphorus centre (962 cm-1) were observed alongside those
of the hexafluorophosphate anion (830 cm-1) was observed Mass spectrometry (ES
+ve ion) displayed a molecular ion at mz 898 and mz 1047 for 36 and 37 respectively
and good agreement of elemental analysis with calculated values further confirmed
the formulation of both complexes
523 Crystal structure of [(MeO)3SiCH2CH2CH2(Me)NCS2Pd(PPh3)2]PF6 (36)
An attempt to grow a suitable crystal of 36 by slow diffusion of diethyl ether into a
concentrated dichloromethane mixture of the complex successfully yielded two
different polymorphic structures assigned as 36-A (Figure 522) and 36-B (Figure
523) The structure of compound [(Ph3P)2Pd(S2CNC4H8NCS2)Pd(PPh3)2][PF6]2 (25-
A Chapter 3) can be compared directly to those of compounds 36-A and 36-B due to
the similar chelation of the dithiocarbamate ligand towards the palladium centre

As Table 521 shows comparable Pd-S distances were observed in all complexes
equivalent to the typical bond lengths for dithiocarbamates complexes8 The C-N
bonds of the new complexes range between 1306(4) and 1312(5) Aring slightly lower
than the average bond length for dithiocarbamate compounds (1324 Aring)9 In addition
the average distance of the C-S bonds of 36-A (1722(4) Aring) and 36-B (1721(4) Aring) is
close to that of an average dithiocarbamate complex (1715 Aring)9 Furthermore the S-
Pd-S bite angle of the dithiocarbamate ligand in complex 36 lies in the range 7472-
7492˚ which is close to what is reported for
[(Ph3P)2Pd(S2CNC4H8NCS2)Pd(PPh3)2][PF6]2 (7504˚) In contrast a comparable S-
C-S angle for all complexes was recorded

The two different polymorphic structures both adopt a square planar geometry The
main difference between the structures of 36-A and 36-B is the bond angle of the
trimethoxy group attached to the silicon (Table 522) A noticeable difference is
observed particularly for the C(12)-O(11)-Si(8) and C(14)-O(13)-Si(8) angles which is
illustrated by a difference of 29˚ and 52˚ in bond angle respectively

524 Crystal structure of [(MeO)3SiCH2CH2CH22NCS2Pd(PPh3)2]PF6 (37)
Vapour diffusion of hexane into a concentrated dichloromethane solution of the
complex successfully generated a single crystal of
[(MeO)3SiCH2CH2CH22NCS2Pd(PPh3)2]PF6 (37) suitable for X-ray analysis (Figure
524) A direct comparison with 36-B was made and this revealed a similar square
planar geometry The Pd-S (23312(8) and 23603(8) Aring) C-N (1310(5) Aring) and C-S
139
(1724(4) and 1724(3) Aring) bond lengths are found to be comparable between both
complexes However the S-C-S angle (11213˚) and S-Pd-S bite angle (7514˚) value
of 37 are slightly greater compared to the structure of 36-B

53 Catalytic activity of heteroleptic palladium complexes
Work within the group1 has demonstrated the ability of Pd(II) complexes bearing
dithiocarbamate ligands to act as effective catalysts for the C-H functionalization of
benzo[h]quinoline and 8-methylquinoline (see Chapter 3) This prompted us to explore
the catalytic activity of the palladium complexes presented in this chapter (36 and 37)
as homogeneous catalysts for C-H activation of the same compounds (Figure 531)
140
Figure 531 Oxidative C-H functionalisation reactions investigated in this work
To study the reaction parameters we used benzo[h]quinoline as a substrate (Figure
531 Reaction A) Yields of 85 were obtained after 2 hours using 1 mol of 36 or
37 PhI(OAc)2 as an oxidant and methanol as a solvent at 100 degC A comparable
catalytic activity (87 product yield) was reported by us1 using
[Pd(S2CNEt2)(PPh3)2]PF6 (23) under the same reaction conditions in Chapter 3 (Table
531) This finding proved that the complexes have an excellent catalytic activity
towards C-H oxidative functionalisation reactions However working at high
temperature is undesirable due to the energy consumption and safety issues
(excessive pressures) Thus the catalytic reaction was optimised to operate at lower
reaction temperatures varying the loading of catalyst in Section 531

531 Optimisation of reaction conditions
The effect on the reaction time was investigated by dissolving 1 mol of the catalysts
(36 and 37) benzo[h]quinoline and PhI(OAc)2 in methanol The reaction mixture was
heated and stirred for 2 to 5 hours Figure 532 shows an increasing trend in product
yield as a consequence of increasing the reaction time However a low yield of product
(gt 55) was obtained even after 5 hours of reaction at a lower temperature for both
palladium catalysts This finding suggests that lowering the temperature of the reaction
reduces the rate of dissociation of the triphenylphosphine ligand to form an active
catalytic intermediate resulting in a lower yield of product Based on our previous
report1 an increase in catalyst loading is required to achieve a quantitative yield of
product
Figure 532 The effect of reaction time on the yield of the desired product Catalysts = 36 and 37 (1 mol) solvent = MeOH oxidant = PhI(OAc)2 T = 50 degC
The influence of catalyst loading on the reaction was examined using 1 to 5 mol of
the catalysts (36 and 37) in the same C-H functionalization reaction with
benzo[h]quinoline as the substrate The reaction mixtures were heated and stirred for
2 hours in the presence of PhI(OAc)2 In general the yield of the product increased
with the increase in catalyst loading from 1 to 5 mol Figure 533 reveals that 3 mol
of 36 or 37 was effective providing a high yield (gt 85) of the desired product within

2 hours at 50 degC Lower catalyst loadings (1 mol) lead to a lower conversion of the
product (lt 30) Overall both catalysts demonstrated excellent catalytic activity under
milder (50 degC) and safer (low pressure) conditions and required a shorter reaction time
(2 h) for the methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline compared to the more forcing reaction
conditions used in the literature (100 degC 12 mol 22 h)10 Based on this catalytic
performance the standard operating conditions (SOCDTC) for both catalysts was set
at 3 mol Pd loading at 50 degC for 2 hours

532 Other alkoxy functionalisation of benzo[h]quinoline
Having established the SOCDTC the scope of the reactions was expanded to other
alkoxy functionalisations of benzo[h]quinoline However the overall findings
suggested that the introduction of more sterically demanding moieties (R = OEt O iPr
and CH2CF3) required a longer reaction time to produce the desired products
compared to the optimum conditions (Table 532) For example a quantitative yield
of 10-ethoxybenzo[h]quinoline (99) could only been achieved after 24 hours
compared to the 89 yield obtained using [Pd(S2CNEt2)(PPh3)2]PF6 (23) under the
same reaction conditions (3 mol catalyst loading 50 degC 2 h) In addition more than
90 conversion to 10-trifluoroethoxybenzo[h]quinoline was obtained after 6 h for both

catalysts In summary the catalytic performances of complexes 36 and 37 are slightly
lower compared to that displayed by the complex [Pd(S2CNEt2)(PPh3)2]PF6 (23)
reported1 in Chapter 3
The analysis of the methoxylation of 8-methylquinoline produced a slightly lower
conversion (60) of product by employing 37 as a catalyst after 6 hours reaction which
can be achieved by 23 in a far shorter reaction time (2 h)

54 Supported catalyst design
Both monometallic homogeneous palladium catalysts (36 and 37) showed excellent
catalytic behaviour for the methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline However
homogeneous catalysis often faces difficult recovery from reaction mixture leading to
possible contamination of the products and requiring further (often costly or time
consuming) purifcation processes In an industrial context constant exposure to high
temperature and pressure in the reaction vessel might also lead to catalyst
decomposition limiting their applications11
The heterogenisation of homogeneous catalysts on the surface of supporting materials
can be viewed as a solution to this problem harnessing the best of both homogeneous
and heterogeneous systems SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles were chosen as potential
supports to immobolise the active palladium catalysts (36 and 37) allowing a similar
catalytic activity to be combined with the ease of recovery of the catalyst Silica
nanoparticles are straightforward to prepare using the well-known Stoumlber method12
144
and the separation of used nanoparticles can be achieved with a simple filtration In
addition SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles can be prepared through a slight modification of
the co-precipitation procedure reported in the literature13 The magnetic nanoparticles
can be easily separated from the reaction mixture through the presence of an external
magnetic field14
The immobilisation of metal units on silica and SiO2Fe3O4 has been described
through two simultaneous reactions (i) the hydrolysis of the alkoxy groups on the
Si(OCH3)3 unit to the corresponding reactive silanol species [Si(OH)3] and (ii) the
condensation of the resultant silanol species with the free hydroxyl groups on the silica
surface to form stable Si-O-Si bonds15 Figure 541 represents the presence of 36 and
37 tethered to the surface of silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles These immobilised
catalysts were then tested in the C-H functionalization of benzo[h]quinoline
Figure 541 Diagram showing the attachment of 36 and 37 on the surface of silica coated iron-oxide nanoparticles
541 Synthesis of SiO2 nanoparticles
Following the Stoumlber sol-gel process12 tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) was added to a
low molar-mass alcohol (ethanol) in the presence of water before the addition of
aqueous ammonia solution The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for
3 h to yield a white precipitate16 The product was separated by centrifugation washed
with ethanol and dried under reduced pressure to give colourless silica nanoparticles
145
The morphology of the silica nanoparticles was determined by transmission electron
microscopy (TEM) As illustrated in Figure 543 the formation of spherical silica
nanoparticles with an average size of 201 plusmn 40 nm This value is within the typical
average size range of silica nanoparticles (50 to 2000 nm) reported using the Stoumlber
method171819 Further analysis of the sample using infrared spectroscopy revealed
typical absorption bands arising from the asymmetric vibration of Si-O (1056 cm-1) the
asymmetric vibration of Si-OH (952 cm-1) and the symmetric vibration of Si-O (799
cm-1) The absence of absorption bands for CH3 (2980 cm-1) and CH2 (2930 cm-1) of
unreacted TEOS confirmed the efficacy of the washing procedure while intense
absorption bands for water (3300-3500 cm-1) were also observed19

542 Synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles
According to a literature procedure20 the Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared by the
co-precipitation method of Fe2+Fe3+ ions A solution of FeCl3 in fresh deoxygenated
water was treated with an acidic solution of FeCl2 This was followed by the addition
of an ammonium hydroxide solution (precipitating agent) to the reaction mixture under
vigorous stirring for 30 min at room temperature The whole process was conducted
under a nitrogen environment to avoid any further oxidation of the Fe3O421 The
resulting black precipitate was separated magnetically and oleic acid (capping agent)
was introduced to stabilise and control the size of the nanoparticles22 The reaction
mixture was heated for another 30 min at 80 degC and the resulting black precipitate was
146
washed with acetone and re-dissolved in toluene The solution was centrifuged and
the supernatant liquid was evaporated to dryness to give brown Fe3O4 magnetic
nanoparticles
The morphology and the distribution of Fe3O4 nanoparticles were characterised by
TEM and are shown in Figure 544 The images show the formation of uneven shaped
nanoparticles with an average diameter of approximately 80 plusmn 30 nm To investigate
the coating of oleic acid on the surface of Fe3O4 FT-IR measurements were
conducted The spectra revealed two sharp diagnostic absorption bands at 2919 and
2850 cm-1 which were attributed to the asymmetric and symmetric CH2 stretch
respectively The presence of absorption peaks at 1568 and 1695 and cm-1 was
ascribed to asymmetric and symmetric carboxylate stretches confirming the bonding
of the carboxylic acid to the magnetic nanoparticles An absorption at 1089 cm-1 was
assigned to the C-O single bond stretching mode A diagnostic peak associated with
the Fe-O stretching band in the region 560-600 cm-1 further confirmed the formation
of nanoparticles2324 These Fe3O4 nanoparticles were then used in the preparation of
silica-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles

543 Synthesis of SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles
The SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared using a slight modification of the
microemulsion technique described in the literature2526 The discontinuation of
production of the non-ionic surfactant IGEPAL 520-A led to the use of Triton X-45
(possessing an identical chemical formula) in the synthesis of SiO2Fe3O4
nanoparticles The non-ionic surfactants were dispersed in cyclohexane which serves
as a phase transfer agent for oleic acid-capped Fe3O427 The readily-prepared Fe3O4
nanoparticles were dissolved in cyclohexane and transferred to the reaction
suspension Triton X-45 encompasses a polyoxyethylene moiety with a terminal
hydroxyl group as the hydrophobic section and a long hydrocarbon chain as the
hydrophilic tail This structure enabled the agglomeration process to proceed in an
ordered fashion through the weak hydrogen bonding of the hydroxyl groups with the
surface of Fe3O4 while the hydrophobic tails remained parallel interacting with each
other to stabilise the entire system28 On addition of ammonia a microemulsion
process occurred TEOS was added and the reaction mixture stirred for another 16
hours allowing the hydrolysis and condensation of TEOS to induce silica growth on
the surface of Fe3O4 The addition of methanol caused the precipitation of
Fe3O4SiO2 nanoparticles which were separated by centrifugation and washed with
ethanol and dried
Figure 545 shows the TEM micrographs of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles encapsulated
within the silica sphere The average diameter of the SiO2Fe3O4 core-shell
nanoparticles was determined to be 410 plusmn 43 nm FT-IR studies revealed the
characteristic absorption peaks at 560-600 cm-1 associated with the Fe-O stretching
mode as well as bands related to the silica nanoparticles The strong bands at 1055
cm-1 and 796 cm-1 were attributed to asymmetric and symmetric vibrations of Si-O
while the asymmetric Si-OH vibration was detected at 952 cm-1 further confirming the
formulation of SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles
148

544 Surface functionalisation of SiO2 nanoparticles with Pd complexes
Complexes 36 and 37 were added to silica nanoparticles in toluene under nitrogen
and the reaction mixtures were stirred at reflux overnight The solutions were allowed
to cool to room temperature and the resulting yellow precipitate (unattached surface
units) were separated by centrifugation The products were washed with chloroform
and dried
For both compounds (36 and 37) the intense absorption band of triphenylphosphine
was observed at 690 cm-1 in the IR spectra However the FT-IR spectrum after the
surface modification showed only a small absorption for the most intense bands of
PPh3 which indicated that only a small number of palladium complexes were present
on the silica surface Bands usually associated with the phenyl rings attached to the
phosphorus centre (962 cm-1) were not observed due to the broad signal assigned to
asymmetric vibration of Si-O centred around 1050 cm-1 Finally two shoulder bands
at 950 cm-1 and 800 cm-1 were observed and these are compatible with the asymmetric
vibration of Si-OH and the symmetric vibration of Si-O in the original silica
nanoparticles FT-IR spectrum The changes in the IR spectrum (after functionalisation)
indicated that both palladium complexes were successfully attached on the silica
nanoparticles surface
Another important observation is the difference in colour of the silica nanoparticles
before and after surface modification with complex 36 Figure 547 shows the pure
149
silica nanoparticles as a colourless solution compared to a yellow colouration for the
solution of SiO236 (both in chloroform) This observation further confirmed that the
palladium complexes were coordinated to the surface of the SiO2 nanoparticles
providing support for the analogous functionalisation of complexes 36 and 37 on the
surface of paramagentic Fe3O4silica coated nanoparticles

545 Surface functionalisation of SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles with palladium
complexes
Encouraged by the successful modification of the silica nanoparticle surface
SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles were functionalised with palladium complexes (36 and 37)
using the same procedure The resulting precipitates were collected by centrifugation
and washed with chloroform to remove any unattached molecular palladium complex
As shown in Figure 548 37SiO2Fe3O4 only required six washings with 5 mL of
chloroform to give a colourless solution However 36SiO2Fe3O4 required
approximately eight chloroform washings before the solution became colourless This
finding could suggest a weaker binding of 36 on the nanoparticle surface compared to
37 possibly due to the presence of two trimethoxysilyl moieties interacting with the
hydroxyl groups on the surface of SiO2Fe3O4 The colourless washings suggest the
removal of all uncoordinated complexes and indicate that the remaining surface units
are covalently bonded (chemisorbed) to the surface of nanoparticles rather than
physisorbed
150
Figure 548 Washing solutions of 36SiO2Fe3O4 (top) and 37SiO2Fe3O4 (bottom)
The modified SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles were characterised using FT-IR
spectroscopy A small vibration for triphenylphosphine at 690 cm-1 was the only signal
observed clearly ascribable to the complexes However significant changes in the
asymmetric vibration of Si-O (changed from 1055 to 1063 cm-1) and asymmetric
vibration of Si-OH (changed from 952 to 944 cm-1) suggest a modulation in the
environment of the materials NMR analysis of the samples was not carried out due to
the paramagnetic properties of the SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles29 Electron microscopy
(Figure 549) was not able to indicate the presence of the surface units (36 or 37) but
showed the Fe3O4 core remaining encapsulated in the spherical shape of the silica
nanoparticles

151
The SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles bearing palladium complexes (36 and 37) were further
characterized by TGA analysis The results for 36SiO2Fe3O4 show a slow decline
in mass from 100 to 210 degC followed by a considerable loss between 210 to 300 degC
which can be attributed to surface unit decomposition The loss in mass is relatively
stable until the end of the analysis (300 to 600 degC) The approximately 17 loss in
mass over the whole process can be attributed to the loss of the surface unit (excluding
palladium and silica) TGA data for 37SiO2Fe3O4 revealed a metallic residue of
67 of the original mass with the remaining 33 of the mass coming from the rest of
elements in the surface units (excluding silica and palladium) The fact that the mass
loss is around double for 37 than for 36 suggests greater stability for the former (with
two attachment points) compared to the latter
Figure 5410 TGA analysis of SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles bearing palladium units
The key features of these systems include convenient magnetic recovery of the
immobilised palladium catalyst units avoiding the use of additional separation
techniques (filtering centrifugation etc) as well as helping prevent the loss of catalyst
units Thus the ability of the SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles functionalised by palladium
surface units to be recovered by a hand-held magnet was tested This was achieved
by dissolving a small amount of 37SiO2Fe3O4 in chloroform and shaking until a
brownish-yellow mixture was obtained (Figure 5411) Notably the magnetic
nanoparticles responds to an external magnetic field as anticipated boding well for
the their magnetic separation from solution

546 Methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline employing an immobilised
palladium catalyst
The palladium content in 36SiO2Fe3O4 and 37SiO2Fe3O4 was determined
using ICP-OES Approximately 1 mg of sample was dissolved in a solution of aqua
regia (3 mL HCl 1mL of HNO3) and the mixture was then stirred and heated at 100
degC for 2 hours and then diluted with de-ionised water to decrease the concentration of
acid to less than 10 (vv)30 According to the analysis the palladium unit contributed
90 and 100 of the total mass of 36SiO2Fe3O4 and 37SiO2Fe3O4
respectively (Appendix B and C) These data were used to calculate the amount of
compound necessary for the catalyst loading for the methoxylation of
benzo[h]quinoline employing the SOC DTC reported in Section 531 (3 mol 50 degC 2
h)
The conversion of the reactant to product calculated by 1H NMR analysis are shown
in Table 541 Substantially lower conversions (32 in both cases) were obtained
using 36SiO2Fe3O4 and 37SiO2Fe3O4 as the catalyst systems If compared
to the yields of the homogenous catalysts 36 (87) and 37 (88) alone these data
indicate a large decrease in yield under the same reaction conditions A contributing
factor was thought to be the insolubility of the heterogenised catalyst system which
might affect the accessibility of the substrate molecule to the active sites

A recycling experiment was performed to investigate the catalyst performances in
subsequent runs under identical conditions It was achieved by the separation of
immobilised catalyst from the reaction mixture by external magnet It was followed by
the introduction of benzo[h]quinoline PhI(OAc) and methanol into the same vials
containing the immobilised palladium catalyst Unexpectedly it was found that the
yields decreased over subsequent runs 36SiO2Fe3O4 recorded almost a one-
third decrease in product yield after a second cycle and gave no conversion in the
fourth cycle suggesting a quicker deactivation of the immobilised catalyst compared
to 37SiO2Fe3O4 which still gave a low yield (6) after the fourth cycle Further
investigation was carried out by analysing the reaction mixture after the 4th run
containing 37SiO2Fe3O4 with 31P1H NMR spectroscopy showing the presence
of a singlet peak belonging to the molecular catalyst at 30 ppm proof of palladium
leaching Additionally the ICP-OES analysis of isolated spent catalyst
(37SiO2Fe3O4) revealed a decrease of palladium loading to 28 of total mass
which further supports the idea of a loss of surface units from the SiO2Fe3O4
support This could be due to mechanical damage to the silica shell causing loss of
catalyst units which are removed after each run Another possible explanation for
these findings is that the surface units are bonded to the SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticle by
strong physisorption rather than covalently bonded (chemisorption) as initially
hypothesised and are also lost
Since it was hypothesised that the surface unit might not be covalently bonded onto
the surface palladium complex 37 was functionalised on the surface of SiO2Fe3O4
using chloroform instead of toluene as a solvent in which 37 is more soluble The
calculated ICP-OES result revealed an approximately 72 mass contribution from
the palladium complexes attached to the nanoparticle surface This material was then
used as a catalyst in the methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline using SOCDTC (3 mol
154
50 degC 2 h) The conversion to 10-methoxybenzo[h]quinoline was recorded at 18 for
the first run and 15 for a subsequent run with recycled catalyst This catalytic result
was lower than the previous experiment which suggesting a similar leaching
behaviour In a separate experiment freshly prepared 36SiO2Fe3O4 was used as
a catalyst for the methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline under optimum conditions but for
an extended reaction time (22 h) The yield of 76 is the highest achieved using an
immobilised catalyst in this study but is still lower compared to the corresponding
homogeneous catalyst (36)
55 Conclusion
The novel approach described here utilises the properties of silyl amine-based
dithiocarbamates (34 and 35) to construct heteroleptic palladium complexes (36 and
37) in a controlled stepwise manner Single crystals of palladium complexes 36 and
37 were obtained and their structures determined These palladium(II) complexes
were shown to be effective catalysts in the methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline under
milder (50 degC) and safer (low pressure) conditions over shorter reaction times (2 h)
yielding more than 85 of product compared to the same yield in the literature which
requires much more forcing conditions (100 degC 12 mol 22 h) However other
alkoxy functionalization reactions of benzo[h]quinoline using more sterically
demanding moieties (EtOH i-PrOH and CF3CH2OH) required a longer reaction time
than that needed for the methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline
The potential of the NR2 substituents of the coordinated dithiocarbamate ligand were
explored by extending the scope of the studies to heterogeneous catalysis This was
achieved by the immobilisation of the heteroleptic palladium complexes 36 and 37 on
core-shell SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles These novel constructs 36SiO2Fe3O4 and
37SiO2Fe3O4 were successfully synthesised and characterised using FT-IR
TEM ICP-OES and TGA The mass contribution of the palladium surface units on
36SiO2Fe3O4 and 37SiO2Fe3O4 nanoparticles was found to be 90 and
100 respectively However a lower catalytic activity was found for both
nanoparticle systems compared to the homogeneous catalysts (36 and 37) in identical
methoxylation reactions using benzo[h]quinoline as the substrate It was hypothesised
155
that loss of palladium surface units had occurred leading to the deactivation of the
catalyst Further investigation is required to understand exactly how this occurred and
whether it was due to mechanical damage or weakly attached surface units Once
addressed this approach could be used more widely to generate heterogenised
molecular catalyst species using silyl-functionalised dithiocarbamate units as tethers

6 Conclusions and future work
61 Conclusions
This chapter gathers together the conclusions of the research carried out in the thesis
The aim and objectives of the research outlined in each chapter are reviewed and
their achievements addressed
In Chapter 2 the reactivity of different donor groups (oxygen nitrogen and sulfur) in
generating multimetallic assemblies was explored The dithiocarbamate ligand
[KS2CN(CH2py)2] was employed as a scaffold to generate seven different novel
monometallic complexes with different geometries all fully characterised However
the insertion of a second metal into the assemblies through the bidentate nitrogen
donor was unsuccessful This led us to a change in strategy and exploration of the
reactivity of the polyfunctional dicarboxylate ligand H2dcbpy The successful formation
of seven new multimetallic complexes three of them heteromultimetallic was
achieved thanks to the strong affinity of carboxylate and nitrogen moieties to
coordinate the Ru and Re centres respectively Successively five new complexes
three bi- and two trimetallic employing Ru Re andor Au as metal centres were
synthesised employing the sulfur and carboxylate donors of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid
Finally a ruthenium complex containing a disulfide linker was successfully attached to
the surface of gold and palladium nanoparticles in a facile manner Overall this
constituted a stepwise generation of multimetallic assemblies using variety of different
donor groups
Chapter 3 described the development of a greener approach to C-H functionalization
using using palladium(II) dithiooxamide complexes as catalysts These were obtained
directly from the metal recovery process used to recycle the palladium content of used
three-way automotive catalytic converters In addition two mono- and two bimetallic
Pd(II) dithiocarbamate complexes were synthesised and showed excellent catalytic
activity in the methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline Notably the milder and safer
reaction approach (50 degC 2-3 mol 2 h) adopted in this research produced a similar
or higher yield of the product compared to the more forcing and energy-intensive
conditions (100 degC 1-5 mol 18-27 h) used in the literature
159
The use of the commercially available reagent tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) and
iodine to recover palladium waste from spent catalytic converters was demonstrated
in Chapter 4 The bimetallic complex (TBA)2[Pd2I6] obtained from the recovery
process demonstrated excellent catalytic activity in the C-H functionalization and
Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions A novel route to synthesise a variety of
Pd(II) analogues via simple ligand exchange reactions between (TBA)2[Pd2I6] and
phosphine ligands was developed These complexes showed a good catalytic activity
towards Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions with different substrates
The preparation of novel palladium catalysts bearing dithiocarbamate ligands is
described in Chapter 5 These complexes were then used to functionalise the surface
of core-shell iron-oxidesilica nanoparticles The unsupported systems provided a
quantitative yield of product for the methoxylation of benzo[h]quinoline under mild
conditions (50 degC 3 mol 2 h) However the supported catalyst systems recorded a
lower yield of product using the same reaction conditions A possible explanation to
these findings is the loss of palladium surface units possibly through mechanical
damage while stirring which leads to deactivation of the heterogeneous catalyst
system
62 Future work
The greener approach to performing organic functional group transformations
described here is based on the direct use of the palladium complexes obtained from
the recovery process This innovation should reduce the environmental and financial
cost of catalyst production as well as reducing the reliance on energy-intensive and
environmentally-damaging mining Thus future work can focus on optimising this
process to provide active catalysts for a variety of other reactions such as
Sonogashira Heck and Stille couplingsSimilar approaches could also be used to
valorise gold from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
The approach to immobilising palladium complexes on the surface of nanostructures
using the silyl tethers reported in Chapter 5 is promising but needs to be optimised
Further investigation is required to understand the loss of palladium observed Future
work will focus on the exploration of different types of support that can be used for
160
immobilising the Pd surface unit as well as a more robust or reactive linker to ensure
secure attachment of the palladium surface unit to the support

748 General set up for catalysis
The design of the catalysis setup depends on the temperature For the reactions at 50
degC below the boiling point of the solvent commercially available 14 mL thin glass vials
were used For reactions at 100 degC above the boiling point of the solvent thick-
walled vials sealed with a screw cap lined with Teflon and a blast shield were used for
safety purposes because of the pressure built up in the reaction In both cases the
vials were heated in a drysyn multiwell heating block The minimum volume of silicone
oil was added to the wells to guarantee homogenous heating and efficient heat transfer
between the block and the vials An electronic contact thermometer attached to the
magnetic stirrer hotplate was employed to regulate the temperature of the reaction An
independent thermometer was installed to monitor inconsistencies of temperature in
the reaction The designated temperature was allowed to be reached before the vials
were inserted into the wells for the reaction to proceed All the reactions were
performed at least three times and yields were determined by 1H NMR based on
average of three independent experiments to improve the reliability of the catalytic
data

Reaction set up for catalytic reactions
7481 Reaction A Synthesis of 10-alkoxybenzo[h]quinoline
In small-scale experiments benzo[h]quinoline (500 mg 028 mmol)
(diacetoxyiodo)benzene (1804 mg 056 mmol) and the selected catalyst (loadings
183
between 1 - 5 mol) were treated in the alcohol (25 mL) The reaction mixture was
heated in a glass vial (50 or 100 degC) and stirred using a small magnetic stir bar for a
designated time frame [Pd-dithioxamides catalyst (1 2 3 4 and 5 h) Pd-
dithiocarbamates (2 4 6 and 24 h)] The solvent was removed under reduced
pressure to yield a yellow crude oil which was dissolved in deuterated chloroform and
analysed by 1H NMR The yield of product was determined by comparing the
integration of resonances of H-2 (930 ppm) and H-10 protons (901 ppm) of
benzo[h]quinoline with the diagnostic resonance of methoxy (CH3) ethoxy (CH2CH3)
trifluoroethoxy (CH2CF3) which appeared at 419 163 and 445 and 474 ppm
respectively in the alkoxy product A mixture of isopropanol (125 mL) and glacial
acetic acid (125 mL) was employed to prepare 10-isopropoxybenzo[h]quinoline29
An isolated yield experiment was carried out on a larger scale of benzo[h]quinoline
(150 mg) employing SOCDTC (3 mol 50 degC 2 h) for Pd-dithiocarbamates catalyst 23
and 26 and SOCDTO (2 mol 50 degC 2 h) for Pd-dithiooxamide catalyst 27 in methanol
solution The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the products were
purified using a flash column (eluent 32 vv ethyl acetate to n-hexane) to yield of 10-
methoxybenzo[h]quinoline as a pale-yellow solid The result of isolated yield [23 (172
mg 98) 26 (167 mg 95 ) and 27 (163 mg 93)] were comparable with the 1H
NMR integration data [23 26 and 27 (99)]

(diacetoxyiodo)benzene ( 1033 mg 0321 mmol) and the selected catalyst (loadings
between 1 - 5 mol) were treated in methanol (25 mL) The reaction mixture was
heated (50 or 100 degC) in a glass vial and stirred using a small magnetic stir bar for a
184
designated time frame [Pd-dithioxamides catalyst (1-5 h) Pd-dithiocarbamates (2-22
h)] The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to yield a yellow crude oil which
was dissolved in deuterated chloroform and analysed by 1H NMR The yield of product
was determined by comparing the integration of methyl resonances (282 ppm) of 8-
methylquinoline with the resonances of methylene (519 ppm) and the methoxy group
(357 ppm) in the 8-(methoxymethyl)quinoline
An isolated yield experiment was carried out on a larger scale of 8-methylquinoline
(120 mg) 2 mol of 25 at 50 degC for 4 h in methanol solution The solvent was removed
by rotary evaporator and the oily product was purified using a flash column (eluent
91 vv hexane to ethyl acetate) to yield 8-(methoxymethyl)quinoline as a yellow oil
The isolated yield obtained (99) was comparable with the 1H NMR spectroscopic
method data (99)

7554 Reaction D General procedure for Suzuki cross-coupling reactions
Following the literature procedure32 with slight modification aryl halides (05 mmol)
were treated with K2CO3 (15 mmol) in ethanolic solution To this mixture the Pd-
catalyst and the phenylating reagent were added and the reaction mixture was heated
(75 degC) and stirred for a designated time (30 60 90 120 and 150 min) The reaction
progress was monitored by 1H NMR Subsequently the corresponding biphenyl
product was separated by filtration and the reaction mixture was extracted with water
and diethyl ether The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulphate and then
evaporated under reduced pressure to yield a white product The product was purified
by column chromatography using ethyl acetate-n-hexane (140) to yield a comparable
isolated yield
191
In this contribution different types of aryl halides were used such as 4-bromoanisole
4-bromotoluene 4-bromonitrobenzene and 4-iodoanisole The biphenyl product yields
were determined by employing a 1H NMR integration method For the reactions of 4-
bromoanisole and 4-iodoanisole the integrations of their methyl resonances (378
ppm for both) were compared to those of the diagnostic resonance of the methoxy
moiety (386 ppm)33 in the 4-methoxybiphenyl product The yield of 4-methylbiphenyl
was determined by comparing the integration of the methyl resonances of 4-
bromotoulene (230 ppm) with the resonances of the methyl group (238 ppm)34 in the
product Finally the comparison of phenyl resonances of 1-bromo-4-nitrobenzene
(813 ppm) and 4-nitrobiphenyl (828 ppm)35 determined the yields of the last reaction
Three replicate experiments were conducted to collect an average reading
