Abstract
A series of synthetically accessible ligands based on new 2-(R-sulfonamido)benzamide have been prepared (R = methyl for H3M; R = 4-toly for H3T and T2CN; R = 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl for H3iP and HiPCN). The R-substituents were selected to vary in sizes. Allowing ligand H3iP and palladium acetate to stand in solvent leads to self-assembly of the well-defined solvent- and stoichiometry-controlled tetranuclear or hexanuclear coordination macromolecules Pd4(iP)2 and (PdHiP)6, which were analysed by X-ray crystallography. It was observed that palladium active species for Suzuki coupling catalysis could be stabilized by these simple and synthetically assessable N-donor ligands as revealed by turnover frequencies reaching 5500 h−1. Electronic features of these N-donors appear to be more important than the steric properties.
