p-Cresol as additive to the Grubbs second generation catalyst (GII) allows the cross-metathesis of acrylates with prop-1-en-1-ylbenzenes under conditions that only give the prop-1-en-1-ylbenzene self-metathesis product in the absence of cresol. NMR and IR spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF MS and XPS supported the formation of a ruthenium benzylidene with hydrogen bonds between p-cresol and the chloride ligands of GII. XPS furthermore confirmed p-cresol to increase the binding energies of the GII Ru 3d5/2, 3d3/2, 3p3/2 and 3p1/2 photoelectron lines, whereas 1H NMR spectroscopy indicated the carbene carbon and hydrogen to be shielded. It is thus postulated that p-cresol allows for more facile interaction between electron-deficient compounds and the ruthenium benzylidene by decreasing the electron density on the metal center and increasing the electron density on the carbene.

A series of three 1,3-propanediyl bridged bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)palladium(II) complexes (Pd-BNH1, Pd-BNH2, and Pd-BNH3), with + I effect order of the N-substituents of the ligand (isopropyl > benzyl > methoxyphenyl), was the subject of a spectroscopic, structural, computational and catalytic investigation. The bis(NHC)PdBr2 complexes were evaluated in Mizoroki-Heck coupling reactions of aryl bromides with styrene or acrylate derivatives and showed high catalytic efficiency to produce diarylethenes and cinnamic acid derivatives. The X-ray structure of the most active palladium complex Pd-BNH3 shows that the Pd(II) center is bonded to the two carbon atoms of the bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) and two bromide ligands in cis position, resulting in a distorted square planar geometry. The NMR data of Pd-BNH3 are consistent with a single chair-boat rigid conformer in solution with no dynamic behavior of the 8-membered ring palladacycle in the temperature range 25–120 °C. The catalytic activities of three Pd-bridged bis(NHC) complexes in the Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reactions were not found to have a direct correlation with +I effect order of the N-substituents of the ligand. However, a direct correlation was found between the DFT calculated absolute softness of the three complexes with their respective catalytic activity. The highest calculated softness, in the case of Pd-BNH3, is expected to favor the coordination steps of both the soft aryl bromides and alkenes in the Heck catalytic cycle.

The inhibition performance of the newly synthesized Ethylene bis [(2-hydroxy-5,1,3-phenylene) bis methylene] tetraphosphonic acid (ETPA) toward carbon steel in 3% NaCl was investigated at different concentrations using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. It was found that the inhibition capability was increased with increasing inhibitor dose and reach 92% at 10?3 mol/L. Also, Polarization curves showed that ETPA acts as a mixed type inhibitor with predominantly control of anodic reaction. The new inhibitor was investigated by different spectroscopic methods such as 1H, 13C and 31PNMR. The quantum parameters such as absolute electronegativity (χ), energy gap ΔE (EHOMO-ELUMO), global softness (σ), global hardness (η), electrophilicity index (ω) and the number of transfer electrons (ΔN) are calculated by density functional theory (DFT). The experimental also correlated with density functional theory results. The calculations show that ETPA has high density of negative charge located on the oxygen atoms of the phosphonate group facilitating the adsorption of ETPA on the surface of carbon steel. The inhibition efficiency of ETPA was discussed in terms of blocking of electrode surface by adsorption of ETPA molecules through active centers. The adsorption of ETPA on the surface of carbon steel obeyed the Langmuir isotherm paradigm.
