Pd II and Pt II complexes bearing acetamide and thioacetamide functionalized heteroscorpionates and their application in the hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes

Key Points

• The research aims to synthesize and characterize Pd II and Pt II complexes for their use in hydrosilylation reactions.
• Synthesis of cationic complexes using N-phenyl-2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)thioacetamide as a ligand.
• Reaction with MCl2 (where M = Pd, Pt) in acetonitrile.
• Characterization of the synthesized complexes to confirm their structure.
• Successful formation of cationic complexes [(pbptamH)2M]Cl2 with M being Pd or Pt.
• Potential effectiveness of these complexes in catalyzing hydrosilylation of terminal alkynes.
