What are Some Applications of Nitrogen-Based Ligand Complexes?
Nitrogen-based ligand complexes have a wide range of applications in catalysis, including:
1. Hydrogenation Reactions: Complexes of rhodium or ruthenium with nitrogen ligands are used for [hydrogenation]() of olefins and ketones. 2. Cross-Coupling Reactions: Palladium complexes with nitrogen ligands are pivotal in Suzuki, Negishi, and [Heck reactions](). 3. Asymmetric Catalysis: Chiral nitrogen ligands, such as those used in Sharpless epoxidation, enable enantioselective transformations. 4. Oxidation Reactions: Nitrogen ligands in combination with metals like manganese or iron are used in various oxidation processes.
