Study of the mechanism of the Wacker oxidation is of great importance for many reasons. Thus far, from a theoretical point of view, particularly in connection with the rate-determining step, no mechanism has been presented ...

The Wacker process involves a number of organometallic reactions, particularly the b-hydrogen elimination, 1,2-insertion and the OAH bond cleavage reactions. This work seeks to fully explore the mechanism of these H-transfer ...

Abstract The new tetra dentate dianionic H2PS (N,N′-dipyridoxyl (1,3-propylenediamine)) Schiff-base ligand and its octahedral Co(III) salen complex [Co(PS)(H2O)(CH3OH)]+CH3COO− were synthesized, where coordinating atoms ...
