SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF Ni(II) AND Pd(II) COMPLEXES BEARING ACHIRAL AND CHIRAL BIDENTATE AMINOPHOSPHINE LIGANDS

摘要

The synthesis of a range of achiral and chiral bidentate aminophosphine ligands and their complexes with nickel(II) and palladium(II) has been investigated.The ligands and the complexes have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy,and X-ray structures of representative compounds have been determined.In addition,DFT calculations have been performed to investigate different geometries of the nickel(II) complexes in the solid state and in solution.
