Triazolyl-phosphine with pyridyl functionality: PdII/PtII complexes and selective transfer semi-hydrogenation of alkynes using ethanol as a hydrogen source.

Synthesis of PdII and PtII complexes based on the triazolyl-pyridyl phosphine ligand o-Ph2P(C6H4)C(CH)-1,2,3-N3(CH2)(Py) (1) (hereafter referred to as "P∩N3∩N") is presented. The reaction of ligand 1 with Pd(COD)Cl2 and Pd(OAc)2 afforded di-coordinat…
