Origins of the Selectivity of Late Transition Metals of Group 9 and Group 10 for Oxidative Addition of C–H vs C–Cl Bonds

Key Points

This research aims to understand why late transition metals from groups 9 and 10 exhibit different selectivities for oxidative addition of C–H compared to C–Cl bonds.
Analyzed reactivity of late transition-metal complexes
Measured oxidative addition rates for C–H and C–Cl bonds
Compared reaction selectivities across group 9 and group 10 metals
Group 9 metals showed faster oxidative addition with C–H bonds than C–Cl bonds.
Group 10 metals displayed varied selectivity, indicating different reaction mechanisms.
Differences in bonding characteristics contributed to reactivity patterns observed.

Abstract

Oxidative addition of carbon–hydrogen or carbon–halogen bonds occurs in many reactions catalyzed by late transition-metal complexes. Metals of group 9 typically react with C–H bonds faster than C–X bonds, while...
