With regard to the mechanism of these Pd°-catalyzed reactions, little is known in addition to what is shown in Scheme 10-62. In our opinion, the much higher yields with diazonium tetrafluoroborates compared with the chlorides and bromides, and the low yields and diazo tar formation in the one-pot method using arylamines and tert-butyl nitrites (Kikukawa et al., 1981 a) indicate a heterolytic mechanism for reactions under optimal conditions. The arylpalladium compound is probably a tetra-fluoroborate salt of the cation Ar-Pd+, which dissociates into Ar+ +Pd° before or after addition to the alkene. An aryldiazenido complex of Pd(PPh3)3 (10.25) was obtained together with its dediazoniation product, the corresponding arylpalladium complex 10.26, in the reaction of Scheme 10-64 by Yamashita et al. (1980). Aryldiazenido complexes with compounds of transition metals other than Pd are discussed in the context of metal complexes with diazo compounds (Zollinger, 1995, Sec. 10.1).

Tetra(o-aminophenyl)porphyrin, H-Co-Nl TPP, can for the purpose of electrochemical polymerization be simplistically viewed as four aniline molecules with a common porphyrin substituent, and one expects that their oxidation should form a "poly(aniline)" matrix with embedded porphyrin sites. The pattern of cyclic voltammetric oxidative ECP (1) of this functionalized metal complex is shown in Fig. 2A. The growing current-potential envelope represents accumulation of a polymer film that is electroactive and conducts electrons at the potentials needed to continuously oxidize fresh monomer that diffuses in from the bulk solution. If the film were not fully electroactive at this potential, since the film is a dense membrane barrier that prevents monomer from reaching the electrode, film growth would soon cease and the electrode would become passified. This was the case for the phenolically substituted porphyrin in Fig. 1. 

Crown ethers may also be used to functionalize salicylideneimine complexes.1179 The crown ether-functionalized tetra-t-butyl-salicylideneimines are useful in studies on the selective com-plexation and transport of cations (e.g., Na+ and K+). 4,5-Bis(3,5-di-/-butylsalicylideneimino) benzo-18-crown-6 coordinates Ni11 via the Schiff base N202 donor system and K+ or Cs+ at the crown site.1180 These Ni-alkali metal complexes are able to transport amino acids from acidic aqueous solution to pure water. 

Metal complexes of tetra-4-ferf-butylphthalocyanine [PcM, M = Mn(III)OAc, Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Fe(II) (C5H5N)2, Rh(III)Cl] have also been tested for their stereoselective potential in the cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate 101K The Co(II) and Rh(I) complexes, already highly active at room temperature, produced the 2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylic esters in a E Z isomer ratio of 1.0-1.2 which compares well with the value obtained with the rhodium(III) porphyrin 47 a (1.2). In the other cases, E.Z ratios of 2.0-2.2 were observed, except for M = Fe(II) (C5HsN)2 where it was (3.0) the E.Z ratio of the purely thermal reaction was 2.0. 

Another type of dimerization was observed by Japanese authors198. In the presence of Ni°, compounds like bis(l,5-cyclooctadiene) nickel(0), diphenyl and di-n-propyl cyclopropenone, and cyclohepteno cyclopropenone are transformed to tetra-substituted p-benzoquinones (261/262) by formal (2 + 2) or (3 + 3) cycloaddition of two cyclopropenone moieties effected by metal complexing. 

Zaleski and coworkers47 later expanded upon this line of work by using tetra-dentate enediyne ligands, in which the reactivity could be modulated by metal complexation (Scheme 12).
