Variation 2 Ligand Addition

The mechanism for the Pd-catalyzed Csp2—P bond formation proposed by Xu et al. is virtually the same as Hirao s with a slight variation. Oxidative addition of 2-bromothiophene to Pd(0) results in Pd(II) intermediate 84, which then undergoes a ligand exchange to give intermediate 85 with the aid of triethylamine. Triethylamine here serves as a base to neutralize HBr so that the reaction is driven forward. Finally, reductive elimination of 85 furnishes unsymmetrical alkyl arylphosphinate 83, regenerating Pd(0). 

Other enzyme-substrate or inhibitor interaction studies80 82 have been addressed, using a combination of STD and trNOE NMR experiments, in order to collect details on the substrate bound conformation (ligand perspective). In other cases, the availability of a labelled protein receptor83 have permitted to follow the induced chemical shift variations of the protein resonances upon ligand addition to the NMR tube by HSQC methods (protein perspective). 

The NMR chemical shift of cadmium is very sensitive to the nature of the ligands. Additional information may be obtained from competition experiments, chemical modifications, pH variations etc. 

The variation in Ec can be caused by diverse reasons, which have to be taken into account Eq will depend on the exact way in which the cluster lies on the substrate since the clusters have different facets (squares and triangles). Additionally the ligands, which for simplification have been assumed to be a spherical dress for the cluster, may have different orientations varying from cluster to cluster with respect to the underlying substrate, thus causing a different tunnel barrier between the cluster and... 

In addition to the variation in electronic configuration, the geometric details of the coordination sphere and the properties of iron-ligand bonds (different a- or 71-donor strength) also influence the isomer shift as observed for a series of compounds ... 

Additional combinatorial variation sites allow the heterocyclic self-assembly units. Thus, it has been shown that heterocycles 11 and 14-17 can serve as A-analogous donor-acceptor ligands self-assembling with the T-analogous acceptor-donor ligands isoquinolone 12 and 7-azaindole 18 (Scheme 30) [92]. All combinations form the heterobidentate ligands exclusively upon simple mixing in the presence of a transition metal salt (proven by X-ray, NMR). 

Lippard characterized the structural effect of variation in the alkyl bridge length in tropocoro-nand complexes of zinc (80). Six complexes of ligands with bridge lengths from n = m = 3 to n = m = 6 were structurally characterized.702 The complexes had distorted tetrahedral-square planar geometries, with the exception of the m = n = 3 adduct which was five-coordinate with an additional pyridine ligand.
