Although it's not palladium, mechanistic studies of the Miyaura borylation reaction catalyzed by organometallic compounds of this element with bipyridyl or cyclooctadiene ligands have been investigated by the Ishiyama group, uncovering uncommon tris-boryl intermediates where this element is present at oxidation state +2.
Although it's not palladium, mechanistic studies of the Miyaura borylation reaction catalyzed by organometallic compounds of this element with bipyridyl or cyclooctadiene ligands have been investigated by the Ishiyama group, uncovering uncommon tris-boryl intermediates where this element is present at oxidation state +2. The Eisenberg group investigated complexes containing this element in the catalysis of interrupted Nazarov cyclizations, famously achieving good yields on a Nazarov-Michael sequence catalyzed by compounds of this element. A complex containing this element is notable for homogenously catalyzing the hydrogenation of alkenes better than the rhodium-containing Wilkinson's catalyst; that is Crabtree's catalyst. A complex containing this element bound to a triphenylphosphine ligand is notable for binding oxygen reversibly; that is Vaska's complex. FTP, name this element which is the second densest metal at room temperature after osmium.
