Palladium(II) and ruthenium(II) complexes of dimethylselenide: Catalytic applications for Suzuki-Miyaura, O-arylation and transfer hydrogenation reactions

Abstract

Dimethylselenide (Me2Se), a simple and small organochalcogen, has been used as a ligand to synthesize complexes [PdII(Me2Se)2Cl2] (1) and [RuII(p-cymene)(Me2Se)2Cl](PF6) (2). Complexes 1 and 2 have been characterized by multi-nuclear...
