Systematic synthesis of a series of hydroperoxo-, alkylperoxo- and µ-peroxo-palladium complexes supported by the hydrotris(3,5-diisopropylpyrazolyl)borate ligand (Tp^iPr), Tp^iPrPd(py)–OOX [X = PdTp^iPr(py), H, Bu^t], via dehydrative condensation of a hydroxo complex, Tp^iPrPd(py)–OH

Abstract

A series of hydroperoxo, tert-butylperoxo and µ-peroxo complexes of palladium, Tp^iPrPd(py)(OOX) [X = H, Bu^t, PdTp^iPr(py); Tp^iPr: hydrotris(3,5-diisopropylpyrazolyl)borate] is prepared by dehydrative condensation of a hydroxo complex, Tp^iPrPd(py)(OH), with HOOX.
