Dynamic PdII/CuI Multimetallic Assemblies as Molecular Models
to Study Metal–Metal Cooperation in Sonogashira Coupling
Chem. Eur. J. 2020, 26, 12168
Description
"Metal–metal cooperation plays a crucial role in synergistic catalysis including C−C bond coupling. This work reports dynamic Pd/Cu assemblies as models to study individual steps of Sonogashira coupling. This study reveals the importance of rearrangements of the highly dynamic multimetallic assemblies (represented as constellations in this cover image) at the various steps of alkyne activation and transmetalation."
